The Impact of the Length of the Common Intestinal Loop on Metabolic and Nutritional Outcomes of Patients with Severe Obesity Who Undergo of Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy: 5-Year Follow-Up.

Single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) is a recent bariatric surgery technique, highly effective in terms of weight loss. Nevertheless, data regarding the impact of SADI-S at mid-long term (after >5 years of follow-up) are scarce. To evaluate the effect of lengths of common intestinal loop on the evolution of patients with morbid obesity (MO), who undergo SADI-S.

[Results and prognostic factors in the Hartmann procedure].

Introduction: The introduction of one-stage procedures in emergency colonic surgery many years ago has relegated the use of the Hartmann procedure to the most seriously-ill patients, which has led to the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with this surgical technique. The aim of our study was to investigate our results using Hartmanns procedure and to evaluate several prognostic factors of postoperative mortality in this group of patients.

Patients And Methods: From January 1995 to December 2000, 79 patients (34 men and 45 women) with a mean age of 71.

Anastomotic dehiscence after resection and primary anastomosis in left-sided colonic emergencies.

Purpose: There is no consensus about the risk factors for anastomotic failure after elective or emergency colorectal surgery. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that may contribute in anastomotic dehiscence.

Methods: A total of 208 patients who underwent left colonic resection and primary anastomosis for distal colonic emergencies were studied.
