Influence of outpatient total knee arthroplasty compared to inpatient surgery on medical and economic outcomes.

Firstly, this study compared the rate of readmission after a total knee arthroplasty between selected out- patients (no hospitalization, directly sent home after surgery) and inpatients (3 days hospitalization) at 6 weeks. Secondly, it examined the mobility and the complications in the two groups after the same period of time. The rate of readmission, complications and knee mobility of 32 outpatients (M-age : 61 years ± 10 ; 10 females), were compared against those of 32 birth- matched inpatients (M-age : 64 years ± 8.

Novel Technique of Distal Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass for Insufficient Weight Loss After Primary Procedure: Personal Experience and Primary Results at 12 Months.

Purpose: In the literature, up to 20% of patients present a failure of weight loss after primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) or other restrictive procedures. Our aim is to describe the midterm results of our novel technique of distal Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (DRYGBP) as a revisional procedure.

Materials And Methods: We performed our DRYGBP in 21 patients.
