Comparison of ghrelin plasma levels between pre and postoperative period in patients submitted to gastric plication associated with fundoplication.

Pre and Postoperative Ph Monitoring and Weight Loss Analysis in Patients Undergoing Gastric Plication in Association with Fundoplication

BACKGROUND Obese patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease with pathological pH monitoring result may benefit from surgical treatment which is based on the fundoplication technique in association with laparoscopic gastric plication. The Nissen surgery is the gold standard for surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, whereas laparoscopic gastric plication is a res...

O R IG IN A L A R T IC L E INTRODUCTION Gastroesophageal refl ux disease (GERD) in infancy presents significantly greater incidence in the population with associated neurological disease. There is a consensus that multifactorial events are involved in its etiopathogenesis, which makes it diffi cult to evaluate the results from treatment and to obtain adequate uniformity regarding the most appro...

The Comparison Between the Complications after Two Surgical Techniques of Esophageal Cancer

Introduction: Esophageal cancer is a common gastro intestinal malignancy. One of the most common techniques of surgery in esophageal cancer is transhiatal esophagectomy with esophagogastric anastomosis in the neck. This technique is accompanied by complications like chronic gastero-esophegeal reflux and late stenosis. This study was designed to compare the risk of complications after two surgic...

Clinical significance of ghrelin concentration of plasma and tumor tissue in patients with gastric cancer.

BACKGROUND The nutritional status of gastric cancer patients is an important factor determining the outcome after a gastrectomy. Ghrelin is produced primarily in the gastrointestinal tract including the stomach, and has been reported to reflect the nutritional status and control homeostasis by influencing the level of food intake and adiposity. This study examined the difference in the plasma a...
