Stent Management of Leaks After Bariatric Surgery: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Despite the low rates of complications of bariatric surgery, gastrointestinal leaks are major adverse events that increase post-operative morbidity and mortality. Endoscopic treatment using self-expanding stents has been used in the therapeutic management of these complications with preliminary good results.

Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of self-expanding stents placement for the management of gastrointestinal leaks after obesity surgery.

Analysis of the impact of bariatric surgery on medium-term pharmacological expenditure.

Introduction: Obesity and associated diseases represent an important health and economic problem since pharmacological treatment for many of these pathologies needs lifelong subsidies. Theoretically, bariatric and metabolic surgery decreases the medication requirements of patients for these diseases but may result in other types of pharmacological needs. This study aims to demonstrate whether there is a real decrease in pharmacological expenditure after bariatric surgery.

Analysis of the 'Evaluation Indicators' of an Enhanced Recovery After Bariatric Surgery Pathway in the First Six Months After Implementation.

The implementation of a clinical pathway in bariatric surgery (BS) might facilitate systemic care. Focusing on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs may also improve surgical outcomes depending on the degree of adherence achieved. We hypothesized that the implementation of an ERAS clinical pathway in BS (ERABS) improves clinical outcomes compared to traditional treatment in a tertiary care hospital.

Bull horn injuries. A 40-year retrospective study with 572 patients.

Background: Although bullfighting festivals were traditionally attributed to the cultural idiosyncrasies of the Ibero-American people, they also exist world-wide.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, reviewing the medical records of patients treated on our service for bull horn injuries between January 1978 and December 2019.

Results: There were 572 admissions due to bull horn injuries.

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis: A systematic review of 3060 patients.

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare benign breast disease. A systematic review was designed. Clinical and therapeutic characteristics were analyzed.

[Functional recovery of Oddi's sphincter after balloon dilatation of the papilla of Vater. An experimental study in rabbits].

Introduction: Balloon dilatation of the papilla of Vater is used to treat biliary lithiasis. The results and complications rate of this technique are excellent. Published data indicate that this procedure does not significantly alter the physiology of the sphincter of Oddi and that normal function is maintained.
