Prospective Randomized Study on Stapled Anopexy Height and Its Influence on Recurrence for Hemorrhoidal Disease Treatment.

Objectives: To know the influence of the stapled line height (SLH) in the recurrence rate and the postoperative disturbances in stapled anopexy (SA) for the treatment of hemorrhoids.

Design: Simple randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial. Randomization with closed-envelope technique in two groups with two different SLH.

Prognostic factors of weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy: Multi centre study in Spain and Portugal.

Introduction: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become a technique in its own right although a selective or global indication remains controversial. The weight loss data at 5 years are heterogeneous. The aim of the study is to identify possible prognostic factors of insufficient weight loss after SG.

Circular mucosal anopexy: Experience and technical considerations.

Introduction: Circular mucosal anopexy (CMA) achieves a more comfortable postoperative period than resective techniques. But complications and recurrences are not infrequent. This study aims to evaluate of the efficacy of CMA in the treatment of hemorrhoids and rectal mucosal prolapse (RMP).
