Tiif, rectal route for anaesthesia has been long under consideration. The first efforts in this direction were made by F. Roux in1846. The undeniable advantages of the rectal route, the easiness of administration, the avoidance of choking and excitation, and freedom from complications, opened up the way for further research. Injury to the bowel wall was the great danger in the experiments of Ro...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether prophylactic oral iron supplements (320 mg twice daily) would protect women from iron deficiency and anemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. DESIGN Prospective, double-blind, randomized study in which 29 patients received oral iron and 27 patients received a placebo beginning 1 month after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. SETTING Tertiary care medical center. PATIEN...

BACKGROUND Surgical options for morbid obesity are diverse, and the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, initially described by Fobi has gained popularity. Knowledge about the physiology of the bypassed stomach is limited because this newly produced segment of the stomach is inaccessible to endoscopic or contrast radiological studies. AIM To evaluate the myoelectric activity of the bypassed stomach and ...

Studies suggest that improvements in type 2 diabetes (T2D) post- Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery are attributable to decreased intestinal glucose absorption capacity mediated by exclusion of sweet taste-sensing pathways in isolated proximal bowel. We probed these pathways in rat models that had undergone RYGB with catheter placement in the biliopancreatic (BP) limb to permit post-RYGB e...

INTRODUCTION Our objective is to determine which complications lead to reoperation, and the outcomes of reoperation using laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at Centro Hospitalar de São João. MATERIAL AND METHODS Observational study. Patients included were aged 18 to 65 years at first gastric banding, underwent rem...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the short-term surgical and long-term functional outcomes of Billroth I, Billroth II, and Roux-en-Y reconstruction after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected data from 697 patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for operable gastric cancer between January 2009 and December 2012. The pati...

Worldwide, there have been <25 reported cases of hyperammonemic encephalopathy associated with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in the absence of cirrhosis. We describe a 42-year-old woman who presented with subacute but progressive neurological decline late in her postoperative course, which deteriorated despite multiple conservative and aggressive measures, including hemodialysis, in an attem...

This report describes a rare case of adult intussusception in a patient with a history of a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure; complicated by a history of narcotic abuse, methadone dependence, and methamphetamine abuse. Adult patients who have undergone a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure may be at an increased risk of developing intussusception, and clinicians involved in their care should b...
