Project description:Rectus muscle plication is an alternative muscle-strengthening procedure to rectus muscle resection. Possible advantages of rectus muscle plication include a lower risk of "lost" muscles and anterior segment ischemia.This was a retrospective case series describing a surgical procedure for rectus muscle plication using an adjustable suture technique that can be used on any of the four rectus muscles.A total of 5 adult patients underwent adjustable suture plication procedures. Of these, 2 patients required suture adjustment postoperatively. At the final follow-up visit, all the patients maintained satisfactory ocular alignment within 6(?) of orthotropia for horizontal deviations and 2(?) of orthotropia for vertical deviations. Diplopia was eliminated in all cases with preoperative diplopia. There were no postoperative complications or unexpected shifts in ocular alignment.Rectus muscle plication using this adjustable suture technique may serve as an alternative to rectus muscle resection and may be particularly useful in patients who are at risk for anterior segment ischemia or those in whom a shorter anesthesia time is recommended.

Project description:Background and aimsGastric plication involves inverting the stomach with tissue anchor placement to achieve serosa-to-serosa apposition. One potential application of gastric plication is the treatment of weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), a procedure also known as plication transoral outlet reduction (P-TORe). This study aims to assess technical feasibility, safety, and efficacy of P-TORe.MethodsThis was a registry study of RYGB patients who underwent P-TORe for weight regain. The primary outcome was the amount of weight loss and clinical success rate, defined as percentage of total weight loss (TWL) of at least 5% at 12 months. Secondary outcomes were technical success, adverse events (AEs), and predictors of weight loss.ResultsOne hundred eleven RYGB patients underwent P-TORe. Average body mass index (BMI) was 38.5 ± 7.5 kg/m2. Baseline gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA) and pouch sizes were 17 ± 6 mm and 5 ± 2 cm, respectively. The primary outcome was total weight loss, defined as patients experiencing 9.5% ± 8.5% TWL at 12 months. Clinical success rate was 73%. Technical success rate was 100%. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) was performed around the GJA in all patients (100%) before plication placement. The total number of plications per case was 7 ± 3. Overall AE rate was 12.6%. These included GJA stenosis (9.9%), melena because of marginal ulceration (1.8%), and deep vein thrombosis (.9%). The severe AE rate was 0%. Predictors of weight loss were the amount of weight regain and baseline pouch length.ConclusionsThis novel P-TORe technique combining APC with gastric plication appears to be technically feasible, safe, and effective at treating weight regain after RYGB.

Project description:Background and aimsPrimary obesity surgery endoluminal (POSE) is a primary endoscopic bariatric therapy focusing on gastric remodeling. The original POSE procedure involved placement of full-thickness plications in the fundus. Here we aim to assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a novel POSE procedure that involves plications of only the gastric body to reduce the width and length of the stomach.MethodsThis was a pilot study of patients who underwent a distal POSE procedure with gastric body plications for the treatment of obesity. Outcomes included technical success rate, serious adverse event (AE) rate, and efficacy of this novel POSE procedure at inducing weight loss and improving obesity-related comorbidities.ResultsTen patients (6 women, age 52 ± 20 years) underwent a distal POSE procedure. Baseline body mass index was 38.1 ± 6.2 kg/m2. The technical success rate was 100%. An average of 21 ± 4 plications were placed per case (6 ± 2 for distal belt, 10 ± 3 for suspenders, 4 ± 2 for proximal belt, and 3 ± 1 for fillers). The gastroesophageal junction was pulled distally by 3.0 ± 1.6 cm. The gastric body was shortened by 11.0 ± 5.1 cm, representing a 59% reduction. The serious AE rate was 0%. At 6 months, patients experienced 15.0% ± 7.1% total weight loss (TWL). All patients achieved at least 5% TWL, and 8 patients (80%) achieved at least 25% excess weight loss. Hypertension, diabetes, GERD, and obstructive sleep apnea improved after the procedure.ConclusionsThis novel POSE procedure, focusing on gastric body plication and sparing the fundus, is technically feasible and appears to be safe and effective for the treatment of obesity.

Project description:Revision surgery is increasingly performed as result of the increase in primary bariatric procedures. We describe a new technique of revision Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) acombining stapled gastroenterostomy with fixed band placement. We report two cases of unique complications and its successful endoscopic and surgical management.Two out of twenty patients undergoing this revision RYGB procedure presented with gastric outlet obstruction due to band erosion within 10 weeks. Endoscopic band retrieval was successful in the first patient but the second patient required surgical removal.We report the new complication of band erosion in 10% patients using a unique revision RYGB technique combining restriction of the gastric outlet and band placement. We advise using one or the other technique but not both in combination. Surgeons need to be aware of this as erosion which occurs early due to close proximity of band with fresh staple line. We report successful endoscopic and surgical management.Revision surgery using this technique predisposes to bande erosion, presenting as gastric outlet obstruction. Endoscopic management should be attempted prior to surgical removal.

Project description:The long-term consequences of bariatric surgery on fracture risk are unclear but are likely to vary by procedure type. In physiologic studies, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and adjustable gastric banding (AGB) have differential effects on rates of bone loss. Therefore, our objective was to compare fracture risk in obese adults after RYGB and AGB procedures. Using claims data from a US commercial health plan, we analyzed rates of nonvertebral fractures within a propensity score-matched cohort (n = 15,032) of morbidly obese adults who received either RYGB or AGB surgery between 2005 and 2013. A total of 281 nonvertebral fractures occurred during a mean follow-up time of 2.3 ± 1.9 years. RYGB patients had an increased risk of nonvertebral fracture (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.43, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13-1.81) compared with AGB patients. In fracture site-specific analyses, RYGB patients had increased risk of fracture at the hip (HR = 1.54, 95% CI 1.03-2.30) and wrist (HR = 1.45, 95% CI 1.01-2.07). Nonvertebral fracture risk associated with RYGB manifested >2 years after surgery and increased in subsequent years, with the highest risk in the fifth year after surgery (HR = 3.91, 95% CI 1.58-9.64). In summary, RYGB is associated with a 43% increased risk of nonvertebral fracture compared with AGB, with risk increasing >2 years after surgery. Fracture risk should be considered in risk/benefit discussions of bariatric surgery, particularly among patients with high baseline risk of osteoporosis who are deciding between RYGB and AGB procedures. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Project description:ImportanceRoux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is associated with significant bone loss and may increase fracture risk, whereas substantial bone loss and increased fracture risk have not been reported after adjustable gastric banding (AGB). Previous studies have had little representation of patients aged 65 years or older, and it is currently unknown how age modifies fracture risk.ObjectiveTo compare fracture risk after RYGB and AGB procedures in a large, nationally representative cohort enriched for older adults.Design, setting, and participantsThis population-based retrospective cohort analysis used Medicare claims data from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2014, from 42 345 severely obese adults, of whom 29 624 received RYGB and 12 721 received AGB. Data analysis was performed from April 2017 to November 2018.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was incident nonvertebral (ie, wrist, humerus, pelvis, and hip) fractures after RYGB and AGB surgery defined using a combination of International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Edition and Current Procedural Terminology 4 codes.ResultsOf 42 345 participants, 33 254 (78.5%) were women. With a mean (SD) age of 51 (12) years, recipients of RYGB were younger than AGB recipients (55 [12] years). Both groups had similar comorbidities, medication use, and health care utilization in the 365 days before surgery. Over a mean (SD) follow-up of 3.5 (2.1) years, 658 nonvertebral fractures were documented. The fracture incidence rate was 6.6 (95% CI, 6.0-7.2) after RYGB and 4.6 (95% CI, 3.9-5.3) after AGB, which translated to a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.73 (95% CI, 1.45-2.08) after multivariable adjustment. Site-specific analyses demonstrated an increased fracture risk at the hip (HR, 2.81; 95% CI, 1.82-4.49), wrist (HR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.33-2.14), and pelvis (HR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.08-2.07) among RYGB recipients. No significant interactions of fracture risk with age, sex, diabetes status, or race were found. In particular, adults 65 years and older showed similar patterns of fracture risk to younger adults. Sensitivity analyses using propensity score matching showed similar results (nonvertebral fracture: HR 1.75; 95% CI, 1.22-2.52).Conclusions and relevanceThis study of a large, US population-based cohort including a substantial population of older adults found a 73% increased risk of nonvertebral fracture after RYGB compared with AGB, including increased risk of hip, wrist, and pelvis fractures. Fracture risk was consistently increased among RYGB patients vs AGB across different subgroups, and to a similar degree among older and younger adults. Increased fracture risk appears to be an important unintended consequence of RYGB.
