Article Abstract

Aim: To evaluate short-type-single-balloon enteroscope (SBE) with passive-bending, high-force transmission functions for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis.

Methods: Short-type SBE with this technology (SIF-Y0004-V01; working length, 1520 mm; channel diameter, 3.2 mm) was used to perform 50 ERCP procedures in 37 patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis. The rate of reaching the blind end, time required to reach the blind end, diagnostic and therapeutic success rates, and procedure time and complications were studied retrospectively and compared with the results of 34 sessions of ERCP performed using a short-type SBE without this technology (SIF-Y0004; working length, 1520 mm; channel diameter, 3.2 mm) in 25 patients.

Results: The rate of reaching the blind end was 90% with SIF-Y0004-V01 and 91% with SIF-Y0004 (P = 0.59). The median time required to reach the papilla was significantly shorter with SIF-Y0004-V01 than with SIF-Y0004 (16 min vs 24 min, P = 0.04). The diagnostic success rate was 93% with SIF-Y0004-V01 and 84% with SIF-Y0004 (P = 0.17). The therapeutic success rate was 95% with SIF-Y0004-V01 and 96% with SIF-Y0004 (P = 0.68). The median procedure time was 40 min with SIF-Y0004-V01 and 36 min with SIF-Y0004 (P = 0.50). The incidence of hyperamylasemia was 6.0% in the SIF-Y0004-V01 group and 14.7% in the SIF-Y0004 group (P = 0.723). The incidence of pancreatitis was 0% in the SIF-Y0004-V01 group and 5.9% in the SIF-Y0004 group (P > 0.999). The incidence of gastrointestinal perforation was 2.0% (1/50) in the SIF-Y0004-V01 group and 2.9% (1/34) in the SIF-Y0004 group (P > 0.999).

Conclusion: SIF-Y0004-V01 is useful for ERCP in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis and may reduce the time required to reach the blind end.

Background: To determine if the positive outcomes from clinical trials regarding the safety and efficacy of metabolic bariatric surgery are reproducible at a national level.

Methods: A longitudinal registry-based observation study with data collected from all persons undergoing metabolic bariatric surgery in Australia from 28 February 2012-31 December 2021 including data from 122,567 index patients who underwent 134,625 completed bariatric procedures.

Main Outcomes And Measures: Defined adverse outcomes at 90-days (unplanned readmission, intensive care admission and re-operation; death), annual change in weight (percent total body weight loss (TBWL)), diabetes treatment and need for re-operation.

Background: Anastomotic ulcers (AU) at the gastroenterostomy are a common postoperative complication after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Possible risk factors for ulcer formation include active smoking, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, increased tension or ischemia at the anastomosis, or factors that increase the acid secretion of the gastric pouch. Therefore, a longer gastric pouch may increase risk of AU formation after LRYGB.

The single anastomosis duodenal-ileal switch (SADI-S) has become a safe alternative to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in the treatment for morbid obesity. A known complication after bariatric surgery is the development of marginal ulceration. The current literature demonstrates an overwhelmingly low incidence of ulceration in patients who underwent SADI-S.

Background: Marginal ulcers (MUs) are potential complications following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Our institution performs 3 different laparoscopic gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA) techniques. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of MUs between 25-mm circular stapler (CS), linear stapler (LS), and hand-sewn (HS) GJA techniques using data collected over a 10-year period.
