Introduction: We report the first case of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with loop bipartition (a modified form of Santoro's operation) in the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus associated with obesity.
Presentation Of Case: A 46-year-old gentleman (baseline BMI 32.9; BW 98.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic greater curve plication (LGCP) for the treatment of obesity in ethnic Chinese in Hong Kong.
Methods: Twenty-seven consecutive Chinese patients (23 females; mean age 37.6 ± 8.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treating primary aldosteronism (PA) due to aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA).
Background: Radiofrequency ablation is an established technique for treating malignant solid organ neoplasm. Its application on benign functional adrenal adenoma has never been prospectively described.
Background: The impact of intragastric balloon (IGB) on obesity-related illnesses and quality of life (QOL) has not been previously investigated.
Method: One hundred and nineteen consecutive obese patients (86 females; mean age 37.8; mean body weight (BW) 103.
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for the treatment of obesity in ethnic Chinese in Hong Kong.
Methods: Seventy consecutive Chinese patients (49 females; mean age 34.7+/-8.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intragastric balloon (IGB) for the treatment of obese Chinese.
Methods: IGB was placed into the stomachs of 48 Chinese patients in Hong Kong, 13 males and 35 females; aged 39 +/- 9 (18 - 65), with the mean baseline body weight (BW) of 106 +/- 26 kg and mean body mass index (BMI) of (40 +/- 9) kg/m(2), 34 (70.8%) with coexistent obesity-related morbidities, who failed to respond to other weight reducing treatment, via routine gastroscopy under intravenous conscious sedation.
Objective: We conducted a double-blinded randomized controlled trial to investigate the short- to mid-term neurosensory effect of prophylactic ilioinguinal neurectomy during Lichtenstein repair of inguinal hernia.
Method: One hundred male patients between the age of 18 and 80 years with unilateral inguinal hernia undergoing Lichtenstein hernia repair were randomized to receive either prophylactic ilioinguinal neurectomy (group A) or ilioinguinal nerve preservation (group B) during operation. All operations were performed by surgeons specialized in hernia repair under local anesthesia or general anesthesia.
Background: We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of intragastric balloon (IGB) for the treatment of obesity in ethnic Chinese in Hong Kong.
Methods: 15 Chinese patients (10 females; median age 40 years (range 21-58)) completed IGB treatment over a 10-month period since November 2004. Median baseline body weight (BW) and BMI were 100.
Objective: We conducted a prospective double-blinded placebo-controlled randomized trial to investigate the effect of ketorolac trometamol (KT) administered intravenously as premedication in colonoscopy.
Methods: One hundred and forty patients undergoing colonoscopy were randomized to receive either 60 mg of KT (KT group (KTG), n=70) or placebo (normal saline group (NSG), n=70) intravenously as premedication 30 min prior to procedure. Patient-controlled sedation (PCS) was used as the mode of sedation.
