Visceral obesity (VO) reportedly has a stronger association with complications after colorectal surgery than does body mass index. Here, we retrospectively assessed VO as a risk factor for postoperative ileus (POI) after colorectal resection in patients with colorectal OBJECTIVE
To identify the risk factors that would aid in the identification of patients at the greatest risk of developing postoperative paralytic ileus (POI). POI is a common complication after radical cystectomy and can result in a prolonged hospital stay and delayed recovery.
METHODS
A
OBJECTIVE
To report about an additional case of biliary ileus after bariatric surgery is reported and extensively reviewing the literature on this topic.
METHODS
We reviewed the literature and found three cases of gallstone ileus (GI) that occurred after bariatric surgery.
CONCLUSIONS
A 41 year old
<strong>BACKGROUND</strong> Biliointestinal bypass is a malabsorptive procedure for surgical treatment of morbid obesity. It is the evolution of jejunoileal bypass, and it is characterized by a cholecysto-jejunostomy on the proximal end of the excluded jejunum, therefore, allowing bile
This clinical report describes an emergency case of a 49-year-old man, ASA E III status, with clinical symptoms of acute abdomen and ileus, who was scheduled for urgent surgery. Predictors of difficult intubation (Mallampati test Class III, short thyro-mental (< 6 cm) and sterno-mental distance (<10
Anterior approaches to the lumbar spine provide wide exposure that facilitates placement of large grafts with high fusion rates. There are limited data on the effects of obesity on perioperative complications.Data from consecutive patients undergoing OBJECTIVE
Obesity has been regarded as a relative contraindication to standard laparoscopic procedures. We evaluated the impact of morbid (body mass index [BMI] >30 kg/m2) and profound (BMI > 40 kg/m2) obesity on the results of hand-assisted laparoscopic renal surgery (HALRS).
METHODS
From September
Objective: To evaluate the association of increasing body mass index (BMI) on postpartum tubal ligation safety and estimate the rates of procedure complication.
Methods: We
Recent American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (ACS-NSQIP)-based evidence indicates that laparoscopic (LAP) colectomy results in improved outcomes compared to hand-assisted laparoscopic (HAL) colectomy in the general population. Previous comparative studies
OBJECTIVE
To compare perioperative outcome measures of abdominal and vaginal hysterectomies in obese women.
METHODS
We reviewed the charts of all obese women (body mass index more than 30 kg/m(2)) who underwent abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy for benign gynecologic conditions in our institution
A male Pickwickian syndrome patient was admitted to the hospital with sudden onset of abdominal pain. Physical examination was equivocal. Due to patient's ileus and morbid obesity (weight 450 lb), neither TCT scan nor ultrasound was possible. A Tc-99m PIPIDA hepatobiliary imaging study revealed
METHODS
A 36-year-old female patient was admitted for abdominal pain and recurrent vomiting since five days. One year before this episode, a gastric balloon had been implanted. Physical examination revealed tenderness in the left and right lower abdomen.
METHODS
Abdominal ultrasound showed marked
OBJECTIVE
To retrospectively evaluate the radiographic features of extraluminal leak after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) surgery at upper gastrointestinal (GI) examinations in a large series of patients and to determine morbidity and mortality in those patients with leak.
METHODS
The
BACKGROUND
There is a coordinated inhibition of motility of the colon after its surgical manipulation that contributes to the accumulation of fluids and gas, in turn characterized by nausea,vomiting, pain, abdominal distension, and constipation. Motility is recovered in the majority of patients
In recent years, the use of laparoscopic techniques for surgical operations has been increasing, because this procedure is less invasive and is excellent in regard to patient's quality of life. Normally, complications are rare in laparoscopic surgery. However, we experienced a case of pulmonary
