Introduction: Type 2 diabetes is the paradigm of an obesity-related disease. In most cases it exists because of the obesity and will disappear with weight loss.
Aim Of This Study: To evaluate the glicemic control in obese patients after two malabsorbitive procedure, the bilio-pancreatic diversion with ad hoc stomach resection (BPD-AHS) and the bilio-pancreatic diversion with transitory gastric restriction (BPD-TGR).
Background: Several surgical treatments have been proposed for patients in whom gastric restrictive operations have failed. The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness and safety of duodenal switch (DS) with restoration of normal gastric capacity in such patients.
Methods: Between May 2001 and May 2003, 11 DS with restoration of normal gastric capacity were performed without other gastric procedures in patients who had had previous gastric restrictive operations which had failed because of inadequate weight loss or weight regain.
Background: The Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System (BAROS) has been recently introduced to assess the modifications of weight, comorbidities and quality of life (QOL) after bariatric surgery, in order to achieve a standard for comparison in the treatment of obesity. This study reports the Authors' experience, analyzing with BAROS a consecutive series of morbidly obese patients.
Methods: From November 1998 to February 2001, 30 patients with morbid obesity underwent biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) in our Department.
Article Synopsis
- Vertical banded gastroplasty (GPV) is a commonly performed weight-loss surgery for severe obesity, but long-term follow-up data is limited, with concerns about patient quality of life.
- A study followed 225 patients who underwent GPV between 1995 and 2002, revealing a low complication rate with one gastric fistula, and a significant percentage (74.5%) maintaining a BMI under 35 after two years.
- After five years, 17.1% of patients had unsatisfactory results, though those who did not respond pre-operatively could potentially be identified using a "BIB test," while others reported notable dietary changes following the surgery.
Background And Aims: Improved medical therapy and bowel sparing and sphincter saving techniques have changed surgery for UC and CD. Collaboration between gastroenterologists and surgeons is necessary to uniform the indications for surgical treatment reducing emergency operations. GISMII multicentric study aimed to show indications, timing and impact of surgery, through retrospective analysis of cases observed between 1992 to 1996.
