Background: Whether patients aged 60 years or older should be recommended bariatric surgery is still controversial.
Objective: To assess the effect of age on health-related quality of life (QoL) over time after gastric bypass.
Setting: Data from the Swedish national registry for bariatric surgery.
Objective: To evaluate the resolution of obesity-related comorbidities after gastric bypass in relation to age.
Summary Background Data: Previous studies have shown that age >60 years is associated with a significant, but small, increased risk of complications after gastric bypass. The effect in terms of improvement of obesity-related comorbidities in this group of patients is not studied.
Background: An increasing number of older patients undergo bariatric surgery.
Objective: To define the risk for complications and mortality in relation to age after gastric bypass.
Setting: A national registry-based study.
Background: Weight loss before bariatric surgery has been found to be associated with reduced rates of postoperative complications.
Objective: To evaluate whether preoperative weight loss was also associated with improved postoperative weight loss over time and if this was dependent on preoperative body mass index (BMI).
Setting: Data from the Swedish national registry for bariatric surgery.
Background: A preoperative weight-reducing regimen is usually adhered to in most centers performing bariatric surgery for obesity. The potential to reduce postoperative complications by such a routine is yet to be defined.
Methods: Data on 22,327 patients undergoing primary gastric bypass from January 1, 2008, to June 30, 2012, were analyzed.
Purpose: : The aim of this population-based study was to assess treatment and outcome in patients resected for low rectal cancer, focusing on differences relating to the type of resection.
Methods: All patients in Stockholm with a rectal cancer within 6 cm of the anal verge, diagnosed from January 1995 to December 2003, and treated with abdominoperineal resection, anterior resection, or Hartmann procedure were included (n = 613). Clinical data, histopathology, and outcome were analyzed in relation to the type of surgery performed.
Purpose: Abdominoperineal excision (APE) of the rectum and anus for rectal cancer continues to have greater local recurrence and poorer survival than that seen following anterior resection. Changing to an extended prone perineal dissection results in a more cylindrical specimen and should improve outcomes.
Patients And Methods: One hundred twenty-eight specimens from patients who underwent APE that was performed for potentially curable primary rectal adenocarcinoma were dissected according to standard protocol in Leeds and Stockholm between 1997 and 2007 and were studied.
