Intestinal Malrotation in Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Intestinal malrotation is a rare congenital anomaly. In adults is very difficult to recognize due to the lack of symptoms. Diagnosis is usually incidental during surgical procedures or at autopsy. Aim: To review the occurrence and recognition of uneventful intestinal malrotation discovered during regular cases of bariatric surgeries. Methods: Were retrospectively reviewed the medical registry of 20,000 cases undergoing bariatric surgery, from January 2002 to January 2016, looking for the occurrence of intestinal malrotation and consequences in the intraoperative technique and immediate evolution of the patients. Results: Five cases (0,025%) of intestinal malrotation were found. All of them were males, aging 45, 49, 37,52 and 39 years; BMI 35, 42, 49, 47 and 52 kg/m2, all of them with a past medical history of morbid obesity. The patient with BMI 35 kg/m2 suffered from type 2 diabetes also. All procedures were completed by laparoscopic approach, with no conversions. In one patient was not possible to move the jejunum to the upper abdomen in order to establish the gastrojejunostomy and a sleeve gastrectomy was performed. In another patient was not possible to fully recognize the anatomy due to bowel adhesions and a single anastomosis gastric bypass was preferred. No leaks or bleeding were identified. There were no perioperative complications. All patients were discharged 72 h after the procedure and no immediate 30-day complications were reported. Conclusion: Patients with malrotation can successfully undergo laparoscopic bariatric surgery. May be necessary changes in the surgical original strategy regarding the malrotation. Surgeons must check full abdominal anatomical condition prior to start the division of the stomach. Racional: Má-rotação intestinal é rara anomalia congênita em adultos de difícil reconhecimento devido à falta de sintomas. O diagnóstico é feito geralmente incidentalmente durante procedimentos cirúrgicos ou durante autópsia. Objetivo: Verificar a ocorrência e reconhecimento não eventual da má-rotação intestinal durante operações bariátricas sequenciais. Método: Retrospectivamente foram analisados os prontuários médicos de 20.000 casos de operações bariátricas de janeiro 2002 a janeiro de 2016, procurando por ocorrência de má-rotação intestinal, sua interferência na técnica operatória aplicada e a evolução imediata no pós-operatório. Resultados: Foram encontrados cinco casos (0.025%) de má-rotação intestinal em homens com idades de 37, 39, 45, 49 e 52 anos e IMC de 35, 42, 49, 47 e 52 kg/m2. O paciente com IMC de 35 kg/m2 também sofria de diabete melito tipo 2. Todos os procedimentos foram realizados através de laparoscopia, sem conversões. Em um paciente não foi possível mover o jejuno para o abdome superior a fim de realizar gastrojejunostomia; foi, então, realizada gastrectomia vertical. Em outro paciente, não foi possível reconhecer totalmente a anatomia devido às aderências intestinais e foi decidido realizar bypass gástrico com anastomose única. Nenhum vazamento ou sangramento foi identificado. Não houve nenhuma complicação pós-operatória. Todos os pacientes foram liberados 72 h após o procedimento e nenhuma complicação foi notificada nos primeiros 30 dias. Conclusões: A cirurgia bariátrica laparoscópica pode ser realizada com sucesso em pacientes com má-rotação. Mudanças talvez sejam necessárias com relação à anomalia. Os cirurgiões devem verificar toda a condição anatômica abdominal antes de iniciar a secção gástrica.
