The Roux-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is an effective weight-reducing procedure but the involved mechanisms of action are obscure. The Roux limb is the intestinal segment that following surgery is the primary recipient for food intake. The aims of the study were to explore the mechanosensory and biomechanical properties of the Roux limb and to make correlations with preferred meal size. Ten patient...

BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass performed laparoscopically remains the gold standard in bariatric surgery. The role of robot-assisted laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has not been clearly defined. METHODS We present 80 consecutive cases of robot-assisted laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass performed at a single institution. Mechanics, early outcomes, and learning curve are evaluate...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Gastric surgery may potentiate delayed gastric emptying. The aims of the study were to determine the frequency and causes of delayed gastric emptying in patients who had undergone distal gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma and to assess which factors predispose to its development. METHODOLOGY 209 patients, who had undergone gastrectomy, were evaluated. RESULTS Delayed gastric ...

Please note that Yu et al. (2010. J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 132:10847–10856) cited the wrong LJ parameter set used for Na+ and K+ ions (Andersen, O.S., and B. Roux, personal communication). In their study, Yu et al. (2010) did not use the parameter set from Beglov and Roux (1994. J. Chem. Phys. 100:9050–9063), but instead the parameter set from Noskov and Roux (2008. J. Mol. Biol. 377:804–818). These...

Double-balloon endoscopy facilitates endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with a Roux-en-Y anastomosis [1]. However, it is difficult to identify the afferent limb during double-balloon ERCP [2]. According to retrospective data from February 2007 to January 2009, the rate of accurate identification was 50% (14/28). We report a useful technique to identify the afferen...

conclusions in selected recipients with psc, dd reconstruction is a safe and efficacious technique, with long-term clinical outcomes comparable to ryh. background while roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy (ryh) is the common anastomotic technique for liver transplantation (lt) in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (psc), duct-to-duct (dd) reconstruction may be used if the recipient common b...

Abstract Introduction and Background Herniation of the remnant stomach post Roux-en-gastric bypass hiatal hernia repair is a very rare complication that require high index suspicion to diagnose immediate surgical intervention. In literature, there were reported cases herniation gastric pouch Roux limb but not hence we report this unusual case. Case A 66-year-old lady was admitted with dysphagia...

background: prevalence of obesity in the world, in both developed and developing countries, is growing rapidly. bariatric surgery is now accepted as the treatment for morbid obesity. objective: this study compares laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy's effectiveness (lsg) with the most common bariatric surgery, laparoscopic roux-en-y (lrygb) gastric bypass.   methods: a systematic review was perform...
