Laparoscopic gastrectomy: five cases.

Surg Laparosc Endosc

Olathe Medical Center, Kansas, USA.

Published: April 1996

We present the results of five patients who underwent gastrectomy using a laparoscopic technique. All patients had an intracorporeal resection of the antrum followed by an antecolic intracorporeal gastrojejunostomy (Billroth II). Two patients also had bilateral truncal vagotomy, and one had a Roux-en-Y component to the gastrojejunostomy. Indications were (a) intractable ulcer disease in two patients; (b) gastric outlet obstruction due to duodenal ulcer in one; (c) chronic, severe gastrointestinal blood loss from bile reflux gastritis in one; and (d) palliation of a superficial carcinoma in one. Except for one patient who had postoperative gastric atony, there were no complications or operative mortality. Short-term follow-up ranging from 9 to 34 months has revealed one patient with recurrent ulcer symptoms, but the other four have had control of their disease.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) causes significant postoperative pain, necessitating effective multimodal analgesia strategies. This study evaluated the efficacy of the external oblique intercostal block (EOIB) in this context.

Methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind study conducted between April and December 2023 included 60 patients who underwent LSG.

Since long-term results after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are rather scarce, this study aims to add LSG results with a minimum of 5 years of follow-up. Prospectively collected data from primary LSG in a tertiary bariatric center from 08/2007 to 12/2018 with follow-up ≥ 5 years were analyzed retrospectively. Primary endpoints included total body weight loss (%TBWL) and excess weight loss (%EWL), insufficient weight loss (IWL), weight regain (WR), remission of associated diseases, development of new-onset gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and nutritional deficiencies.
