Introduction: to evaluate urinary biochemical alterations related to urolithogenesis processes after sleeve gastrectomy (SG).
Materials And Methods: : prospective study with 32 individuals without previous diagnosis of urolithiasis who underwent SG. A 24-h urine test was collected seven days prior to surgery and at 6-month follow-up.
Purpose: To trace the clinical profile of fistula cases after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic treatments and the admission costs of these patients.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients who developed gastric fistulas after SG. All patients were submitted to surgical and/or endoscopic interventions (self-expandable stent, septotomy, and balloon dilation).
Purpose: To determine the real influence of the gastric twist on the progression of esophagitis after SG, evaluating pre- and late post-operative endoscopic findings.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively included 459 patients submitted to SG between 2009 and 2019. The sample comprised patients who performed esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) at the pre-operative and late post-operative periods.
Objective: to present a descriptive analysis of the results of a care bundle applied to obese patients submitted to bariatric surgery, regarding infection control.
Methods: a care bundle was designed to control surgical site infection (SSI) rates in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The bundle included smoking cessation, bathing with 4% chlorhexidine two hours before surgery, cefazolin (2g bolus) in anesthetic induction associated with a continuous infusion of the same drug at a dose of 1g over a two-hour period, appropriate trichotomy, glycemic control, supplemental oxygen, normothermia, intraspinal morphine for the relief of pain, and sterile dressing removal 48 hours after surgery.
