Perioperative complications following bariatric surgery according to the clavien-dindo classification. Score validation, literature review and results in a single-centre series.

Background: There is no unified system for reporting surgical complications after bariatric surgery. One increasingly used system for notifying postoperative complications is the Clavien-Dindo classification, which focuses on their therapeutic implications.

Objective: The aim of this study is to validate and apply the Clavien-Dindo scale to a series of cases of bariatric surgery and systematically review its use worldwide.

Failure of the Obesity Surgery Mortality Risk Score (OS-MRS) to Predict Postoperative Complications After Bariatric Surgery. A Single-Center Series and Systematic Review.

Background: The obesity surgery mortality risk score (OS-MRS) was developed to determine the risk of postoperative mortality in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The aim of the present study is to assess the utility of this score for preventing the risk of postoperative complications from bariatric surgery.

Methods: Prospective study of 321 patients undergoing bariatric surgery to whom the OS-MRS was applied.

Emergency endoscopy for gastrointestinal bleeding after bariatric surgery. Therapeutic algorithm.

Objective: Gastrointestinal bleeding (GB) is a potential complication after bariatric surgery and its frequency is around 2-4% according to the literature. The aim of this study is to present our experience with GB after bariatric surgery, its presentation and possible treatment options by means of an algorithm.

Patients And Method: From January 2004 to December 2012, we performed 300 consecutive laparoscopic bariatric surgeries.

Gastrojejunal anastomotic stenosis after laparoscopic gastric bypass. Experience in 280 cases in 8 years.

Objective: Gastrojejunal stricture (GYS), not only is a common complication after laparoscopic gastric bypass, but its frequency is about 15% according to bibliography. Our aim is to present our experience after 280 laparoscopic gastric bypass.

Patients And Method: From January 2004 to December 2012, 280 patients underwent a laparoscopic Roux en Y gastric bypass with creation of the gastrojejunal anastomosis is performed with circular stapler type CEAA No 21 in 265 patients and with a linear stapler in 15 patients.

[Complications and level of satisfaction after dermolipectomy and abdominoplasty post-bariatric surgery].

Background: Body contouring surgery is in high demand following the increase in bariatric surgery. But these types of procedures are associated with high complication rates that cause long hospital stays and have a negative effect on patient satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to identify predictors of complications in order to optimize outcomes in these patients and find a relationship between complication rate and satisfaction.

Protective ileostomy: complications and mortality associated with its closure.

Introduction: diverting loop ileostomies are widely used in colorectal surgery to protect low rectal anastomoses. However, they may have various complications, among which are those associated with the subsequent stoma closure. The present study analyses our experience in a series of patients undergoing closure of loop ileostomies.

Gastrointestinal bleeding and bowel obstruction as a presentation of Bouveret syndrome.

Background: Bouveret syndrome is a rare entity consisting of duodenal obstruction due to a gallstone from the gallbladder.

Clinical Cases: We present two patients with very different ages and comorbidities whose conditions were resolved in two different ways: a 41-year-old female with right upper quadrant pain and vomiting who underwent surgical correction of obstruction and fistula, and an 81-year-old female with a high bowel obstruction, only treating the obstruction without intervention of the fistula.

Conclusions: It is important to include high gastrointestinal obstruction in the differential diagnosis.
