Abstract Background Gastric pouch volumetry after sleeve gastrectomy reflects successful surgery. We aimed to assess the impact of gastric volume on weight loss. Method The study was performed for 30 patients (22 females and 8 males) who underwent gastrectomy. Their ages ranged from 18 47 years. All (multi-slice CT) MSCT examination at 12 months surgery with oral administration effervescent emu...

Women desiring pregnancy might fail to conceive due to their obesity. Bariatric surgery has shown to reduce this infertility up to 58% and is therefore considered a successful strategy for morbidly obese infertile women. Nevertheless, when pregnancy has succeeded, surgery-related complications might occur.Banded laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (B-LRYGB) is a relatively new technique in wh...

Background: Dietary-free L -glutamate (Glu) in the stomach interacts with specific Glu receptors (T1R1/T1R3 and mGluR1–8) expressed on surface epithelial and gastric gland cells. Furthermore, luminal Glu activates the vagal afferents in the stomach through the paracrine cascade including nitric oxide and serotonin (5-HT). Aim: To elucidate the role of dietary Glu in neuroendocrine control of th...

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding procedures have a favorable risk-benefit profile and are increasingly important as part of the overall management of obesity. These procedures are effective at inducing weight loss and improving comorbid conditions, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding has several typical complications, and fa...

We report two new cases of gastric cancer diagnosed after a bariatric operation. The first case is a 66-year-old male who 3 years after gastric bypass suffered from a perforation of the fundus that was found to be secondary to a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the distal stomach. The second case is a 47-year-old woman who presented 12 years after a vertical banded gastroplasty with a gastric p...

Existing mouse models of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery are not comparable to human RYGB in gastric pouch volume for a large or absent gastric volume. The aim of this study was to develop and characterize a mouse RYGB model that closely replicates gastric pouch size of human RYGB surgery of about 5% of total gastric volume. We established this model in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice of ...

As bstract. The reason for increased maximal acid secretory capacity in some patients with duodenal ulcer is uncertain. We postulated that chronically increased cephalic-vagal stimulation may be a cause of increased maximal acid output. To study this, we prepared six male, mongrel dogs with a vagally innervated gastric fistula, a vagally denervated fundic (Heidenhain) pouch, and a cervical esop...

Abstract Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is considerably utilized as a bariatric method for treating morbid obesity through the reduction of stomach volume. The present study attempted to assess volumetric changes gastric reservoir 1 year after LSG using multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) well verify their association with weight loss. current prospective 40 consecutive obese p...

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...
