Short-term postoperative outcomes of gastric adenocarcinoma patients treated with curative intent in low-volume centers.

Background: Quality standards in postoperative outcomes have not yet been defined for gastric cancer surgery. Also, the effect of centralization of gastric cancer surgery on the improvement of postoperative outcomes continues to be debated. Short-term postoperative outcomes in gastric carcinoma patients in centers with low-volume of annual gastrectomies were assessed.

A prospective study on inflammatory parameters in obese patients after sleeve gastrectomy.

Different hormones and peptides involved in inflammation have been studied in and related to obesity. The aim of our work is to assess the variations of different molecules related to inflammation in obese patients during the first year following sleeve gastrectomy. This was a prospective study on patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy.

[Prospective study of gluco-lipidic hormone and peptide levels in morbidly obese patients after sleeve gastrectomy].

Introduction: Different hormones and peptides involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism have been studied in relation to morbid obesity and its variation after bariatric surgery. The aim of this study is toevaluate variations in different molecules related to glico-lipidic metabolism during the first year after sleeve gastrectomy in morbidly obese patients.

Material And Methods: Prospective study in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy between November 2009 and January 2011.
