Tu1091 SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF PRIMARY BILIARY SPHINCTEROPLASTY IN ROUX-EN-Y GASTRIC BYPASS PATIENTS UNDERGOING SINGLE BALLOON ENTEROSCOPY ASSISTED ERCP

ERCP using single-balloon instead of double-balloon enteroscopy in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis.

necrosectomy and a Roux−en−Y anasto− mosis. Before surgery the patient had un− dergone an endoscopic retrograde chol− angiopancreatography (ERCP) with bili− ary stent placement, but this stent could not be removed intra−operatively. ERCP was carried out using the Fujinon dou− ble−balloon enteroscope (EN−450T5I, Fu− jinon, Saitama, Japan). For the ERCP we did not place a balloon on the tip of th...

Comparison of roux-en-y gastric bypass techniques with and without distal gastric plication in patients with morbid obesity

Complications of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery is a method of treating morbid obesity, which has been raising more and more interest in the past years. Among all types of intervention, the most frequently used is Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, an intervention both restrictive and malabsorptive, which leads to best results in weight loss. In Romania, bariatric surgery, and especially Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is not...

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass leak complications.

HYPOTHESIS Enteric leakage is a significant complication of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedure that can be treated successfully. DESIGN Retrospective study of 400 consecutive RYGB patients from 1999-2002. SETTING Community hospital with a university surgical residency. PATIENTS Hospital records of 400 morbidly obese patients who underwent gastric bypass surgery were reviewed. ...

Totally robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that we could develop a safe and effective technique for performing a totally robotic laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure using the da Vinci surgical system. We anticipated that the learning curve for this totally robotic procedure could be shorter than the learning curve for standard laparoscopic bariatric surgery. DESIGN Retrospective case comparison s...
