conclusions gastric pouch is a suitable segment for bladder cystoplasty and neobladder. continence is mostly related to the capacity of pouch. results postoperative complications were rare. continence was defined as bladder capacity over 400 ml. their follow-up period ranged from five months up to writing the article. one of the studied cases is still alive and awaiting renal transplantation. m...

Effects of Substance P on Gastric Motility Differ Depending on the Sites and Vagal Inneruation in Conscious Dogs. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 1994, 174 (2),119-128 The effect of substance P on gastric motility was studied in conscious dogs by means of strain gauge force transducers chronically implanted...

PURPOSE This study aims to introduce a simple operation method of gastrojejunostomy for preventing reflux esophagitis --gastric-jejunum pouch side-to-end anastomosis. METHODS Based on Billroth II anastomosis (Billroth II) method, we designed a new technique of anastomosis between stomach wall and jejunal pouch. The technique was named gastric-jejunum pouch side-end anastomosis. We retrospecti...

10-40% of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients regain significant weight after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery due to dilation of the pouch and/or the gastrojejunal (GJ) anastomosis. Traditional revision surgery is associated with significant morbidity (e.g. post-anastomotic GJ leak) where less invasive endoluminal procedures may represent safer alternatives. The present article reports a ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate if restoration of esophago-intestinal or esophago-gastric continuity with a jejunal pouch after total or proximal gastrectomy has clinical benefits. METHODS We reviewed all relevant reports published after 1990 that dealt with the clinical results of reconstruction with a jejunal pouch after total and proximal gastrectomies and correlated those findings with res...

Banded gastric bypass is a bariatric surgical intervention that has been regularly performed in many centers. According to some series, banded gastric bypass is safe and feasible. We describe the case of a 42-year-old woman undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass in 2008. Subsequently, she underwent surgery in order to place adjustable gastric banding on previous bypass because of gastric pouch ...

BACKGROUND There is a controversy regarding the use of gastric pouch for benign and malignant bladder diseases. OBJECTIVES The aim of this retrospective study was to report our experience, mostly on gastric neobladder (not gastrocystoplasty) for benign and malignant bladder diseases, its complications, outcomes and follow-up results. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective case series, ...

INTRODUCTION The jejunal pouch interposition (JPI) after proximal gastrectomy (PG) was proposed as a reconstructive procedure to provide a gastric reservoir substitute and prevent postgastrectomy syndrome. However, food residue remaining in some of the pouches resulted in the adverse effect of abdominal bloating, thereby body weight loss. Here, we report a rare case with an extreme dilation of ...

PURPOSE Pouch dilatation and band slippage are the most common long-term complications after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). The aim of the study is to present our experience of diagnosis and management of these complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pars flaccida technique with anterior fixation of the fundus was routinely used. All band adjustments were performed under flu...

The only effective treatment for patients with morbid obesity is surgery. Laparoscopic bariatric surgery has become quite popular in attempts to decrease the morbidity associated with laparotomy. In this article, we describe the technical details of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with three different techniques for creating the 15-cc gastric pouch. These techniques avoid upper endoscopy ...
