Clinical practice guidelines for childbearing female candidates for bariatric surgery,pregnancy, and post-partum management after bariatric surgery
Emerging evidence suggests that bariatric surgery improves pregnancy outcomes of women with obesity by reducing the rates of gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and macrosomia. However, it is associated with an increased risk of a small-for-gestational-age fetus and prematurity. Based on the work of a multidisciplinary task force, we propose clinical practice recommendations for pregnancy management following bariatric surgery.
One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass with a Biliopancreatic Limb of 150 cm. Weight Loss, Nutritional Outcomes, Endoscopic Results, and Quality of Life at 8-Year Follow-Up
Purpose: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is now recognized as a mainstream bariatric procedure, nonetheless concerns about the risk of nutritional deficiencies and biliary reflux persist, and the ideal length of the biliopancreatic limb (BPL) is debated. Materials and Methods: Data of patients who underwent OAGB between May 2010 and December 2010 were collected prospectively and analyzed retrospectively.
Primary Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Results in Greater Weight Loss at 15-Year Follow-Up Compared with Secondary Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass After Failure of Gastric Band or Mason McLean Vertical Gastroplasty
Purpose: The aim of the study is to compare the outcomes of patients treated with secondary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) after adjustable gastric banding (AGB) or vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) with those of patients having primary RYGB. Materials and Methods: Patients undergoing secondary RYGB after AGB or VBG between 1997 and 2004 with a minimal follow-up of 15 years were matched using a propensity score (according to gender, age, BMI, duration of follow-up) with comparable patients who underwent primary RYGB.
Conversion of one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) to roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) for biliary reflux resistant to medical treatment: lessons learned from a retrospective series of 2780 consecutive patients undergoing OAGB
Biliary reflux resistant to medical treatment has an incidence of 0.6-10% after one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and may be a reason for revisional surgery. The aim of this study is to report the results of a single-institution series of patients who underwent conversion from OAGB to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) for biliary reflux.
Imaging in bariatric surgery
This book offers detailed guidance on the use of imaging in the context of bariatric surgery. After a summary of the types of surgical intervention, the role of imaging prior to and after surgery is explained, covering both the normal patient and the patient with complications. The most common pathologic features that may be encountered in daily practice are identified and illustrated, and in addition the treatment of complications by means of interventional radiology and endoscopy is described.
