Successful endoscopic management of gastrointestinal leakages after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.

Background: Management of leakages of the gastrojejunal anastomosis after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) can be complex. New endoscopic techniques such as covered stents and over-the-scope clips (OTCs) have been developed and are valuable alternative therapeutic options to reoperation and drainage. The aim of this study was to compare the value of stents and OTCs with surgical treatment options for the therapy of anastomotic leakages after LRYGB.

Post-delivery oxidative stress in women with preeclampsia or IUGR.

Aim: To compare oxidative stress in patients with preeclampsia (PE) or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) vs. normal pregnancy (controls) during 48 h after delivery.

Study Design: Women with singleton pregnancies were recruited immediately after delivery (gestational age >26.
