Background: Despite the fact Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the most efficient bariatric procedures, postoperative weight regain still can be seen.
Objectives: To retrospectively assess the early outcomes and up to 10-year weight results of the conversion of RYGB to biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS).
Setting: French private hospital, 2-surgeon practice in a bariatric surgery center with an experience of >20 RYGB procedures.
Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) targeting the dorsal roots of lumbosacral segments restores walking in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, EES is delivered with multielectrode paddle leads that were originally designed to target the dorsal column of the spinal cord. Here, we hypothesized that an arrangement of electrodes targeting the ensemble of dorsal roots involved in leg and trunk movements would result in superior efficacy, restoring more diverse motor activities after the most severe SCI.
