The Role of ICG During the SADI-S Procedure.

Indocyanine green (ICG) is a nontoxic, fluorescent iodide dye with rapid hepatic clearance that has been used in medical applications since the mid-1950s. In abdominal surgery, ICG can be used to identify anatomical structures such as the biliary tract, urinary tract, blood vessels, tissue perfusion on different organs, or anastomosis in the digestive system. The application of ICG during bariatric surgery may be useful in primary and revisional procedures at different steps of the surgery.

Magnetic liver retraction in bariatric surgery: Is it possible?

One of the recent advances in bariatric surgery is the use of magnetic devices. This research paper describes magnetic liver retraction in morbidly obese patients during bariatric surgery. A descriptive, prospective and observational study was carried out, analyzing 100 patients in whom magnetic retraction was used.

Magnetic-Assisted Reduced-Port Sleeve Gastrectomy Versus Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Comparative Study.

Background: Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most popular bariatric surgeries. With the advent of new technologies, a reduced-port approach assisted by magnets for sleeve gastrectomy (RPSG-MA) has been developed. The aim of our study is to compare the short-term results of RPSG-MA vs conventional laparoscopic SG (CLSG).

Magnetic device in reduced port and single port bariatric surgery: First 170 cases experience.

Introduction: Magnetic devices have been successfully used in bariatric surgery. To the date, the only reported use of the magnet was for liver retraction. Our purpose in this study is to demonstrate the safety and viability of using a magnetic system in different steps in single port and reduced port bariatric surgery.

Hybrid revisional surgery: biliary limb distalization plus endoscopic transoral outlet reduction (eTOR).

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the best procedures for the treatment of obesity and associated comorbidities. However, the percent of revisional procedures after a gastric bypass by weight regain has been increased, therefore several surgical options are available for the treatment of weight regain. In this case report, we combined a biliary limb distalization with endoscopic transoral outlet reduction (eTOR).

9-step magnetic assisted conversion from sleeve gastrectomy to roux-en-Y gastric bypass and hiatoplasty by single-port: Case report.

RYGB represents one of the best alternatives for weight loss in obese patients achieving a weight loss of up to 60% and a resolution of comorbidities of 70%. Revision surgery contemplates multiple techniques including the conversion from one surgical technique to another, structural changes to the primary technique, among others. GERD is now a long-term problem for patients who have undergone LGS.

Gastric bypass with weight regain - Biliary limb distalization plus endoscopic transjejunal A.P.C. pouch therapy in one step: Case report.

Introduction: In recent years there has been a significant growth in the percentage of patients with weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Approximately 20% RYGB patients may experience weight regain 24 months after the intervention.

Presentation Of Case: A 53 yr male patient who underwent RYGB in 2011 with an initial weight of 140 kg and BMI of 44.
