Jaw wiring in treatment of obesity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
17 patients with severe (median percentage above ideal weight 100%) and resistant obesity underwent jaw wiring. There were no major complications and patients tolerated the procedure and subsequent minor inconveniences. All patients lost weight at a rate (median 25-3 kg in six months) comparable with that of intestinal bypass surgery and one achieved and maintained her ideal weight. Two-thirds of the patients, however, regained some weight after the wires were removed. Jaw wiring is a simple effective procedure which can be carried out in most hospitals, and has a place in an integrated approach to obesity.

متن کاملWhen to advise surgery for severe obesity.
A typical severely obese patient will have about 50 kg excess weight to lose, which is equivalent to a store of 350,000 kcal. The optimum rate of weight loss in such a patient is about 1 kg/week, which involves an energy deficit of 1000 kcal/day for about a year. It is difficult to maintain this degree of dietary restriction over such a long period, and procedures such as jaw wiring or stomach ...
