RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is currently the most frequently performed bariatric procedure in Turkey. The goal of weight reduction surgery is not only to decrease excess weight, but also to improve obesity related comorbidities and quality of life (QoL). AIM: To evaluate the impact of LSG on patient quality of life, weight loss, and comorbidities associated with morbid obesity according to the updated BAROS criteria. METHODS: Eleven hundred thirty-eight adult patients were undergone to LSG by our bariatric surgery team between January 2013 and January 2016. A questionnaire (The Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System - BAROS) was published on social media. The data on postoperative complications were collected from hospital database. RESULTS: Number of respondants was 562 (49.4%). Six of 1138 patients(0.5%) had leakage. All patients who had leakage were respondants. The overall complication rate was 7.7%. After a mean period of 7.4±5.3 months(1-30), mean excess weight loss was 71.3±27.1% (10.2-155.4). The respondants reported 772 comorbidities. Of these, 162 (30%) were improved, and 420 (54.4%) were resolved. The mean scores for QoL were significantly increased after LSG (range, p<0.05 to <0.001). Of the 562 patients, 26 (4.6%) were classified as failures; 86 (15.3%) fair; 196 (34.9%) good; 144 (25.6%) very good, and 110 (19.6%) excellent results according to the updated BAROS scoring system. CONCLUSION: LSG is a highly effective bariatric procedure in the manner of weight control, improvement in comorbidities and increasing of QoL in short- and mid-term.

RESUMO Racional: A gastrectomia vertical laparoscópica (LSG) é atualmente o procedimento bariátrico mais frequentemente realizado na Turquia. O objetivo da operação de redução de peso não é apenas diminuir o excesso de peso, mas também melhorar as comorbidades e a qualidade de vida relacionadas à obesidade (QoL). Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto do LSG na qualidade de vida dos pacientes, perda de peso e comorbidades associadas à obesidade mórbida de acordo com os critérios BAROS atualizados. Métodos: Estudo não-randomizado de intervenção comportamental e de saúde pública. Um total de 1138 pacientes adultos foram submetidos a LSG entre janeiro de 2013 e janeiro de 2016. Um questionário (The Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System - BAROS foi utilizado. Os dados sobre complicações pós-operatórias foram coletados do banco de dados hospitalar. Resultados: Responderam ao questionário 562 (49,4%) pacientes. Seis de 1138 pacientes (0,5%) tiveram deiscência e todos estes responderam a pesquisa. A taxa geral de complicações foi de 7,7%. Após período médio de 7,4±5,3 meses (1-30), a perda média de excesso de peso foi de 71,3±27,1% (10,2-155,4). Os questionados relataram 772 comorbidades. Destes, 162 (30,0%) foram melhorados e 420 (54,4%) foram resolvidos.Os escores médios de QoL foram significativamente aumentados após LSG (p<0,05 a <0,001).

CONTEXT: The endoscopic gastric perforation is a consequence of some endoscopic procedures and now a way to manage abdominal organs. This is the reason why endoscopists are studying a safe endoscopic repair. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate an endoscopic closure method for the gastric opening in natural orifice transenteric surgery DESIGN: Short-term survival animal study. METHODS: Ten White Landrace pigs underwent a gastric perforation of 1.8 cm in diameter under general anesthesia. The opening was repaired with stitch assembled in a T-tag anchor placed through the gastric wall with a needle. A plastic transparent chamber, adapted to the endoscope tip protected the abdominal organs from the needle puncture outside the stomach. Six T-tags were placed in most cases and the stitches were tied with a metallic tie-knot, forming three sutures. The animals received liquids in the same operative day. One shoot antibiotic was used. The leakage test was performed with a forceps and by air distention. RESULTS: No complication was detected in the postoperative course. One month later the endoscopy revealed a scar and some suture material was observed in all animals. The antral anterior gastric wall was clear with few adhesions in the laparotomy performed in the same time. The adhesions were intense in an animal in which a cholecystectomy was performed before the repair. CONCLUSION: The endoscopic repair using T-tag and a protector chamber is feasible, easy to perform and safe. Further studies are needed to show the real value of this kind of procedure.

CONTEXTO: A perfuração gástrica pode ser consequência de alguns procedimentos endoscópicos, atualmente, produzida intencionalmente para acesso a alguns órgãos com o advento da cirurgia transluminal endoscópica por orifícios naturais. Esta é a razão para que os endoscopistas estudem uma maneira segura de reparar estas lesões por via endoscópica. OBJETIVO: Avaliar um novo método de fechamento das perfurações gástricas utilizadas para acesso ao NOTES. MODELO DE ESTUDO: Pesquisa em modelos animais com curto tempo de sobrevida. MÉTODO: Dez porcos da raça White Landrace, foram submetidos a perfuração gástrica de 1,8 cm, monitorizados e sob anestesia geral. A abertura gástrica foi reparada com dispositivo especial constituído por agulha em forma de T montada com fio (T-tag), inserida, por via endoscópica, nas bordas do ferimento perfurando a parede gástrica e fixando-se a ela como uma âncora. Uma câmara plástica protetora, especialmente desenvolvida, foi adaptada à ponta do endoscópio para proteção dos órgãos subjacentes. Seis T-tags foram inseridos na maioria dos casos e os pontos foram amarrados e fixados com auxílio de outro dispositivo metálico de contenção do nó denominado “tie-knot”, formando três suturas. Um teste de vazamento do tipo manobra do borracheiro era realizado ao término do procedimento. Os animais recebiam líquido no pós-operatório imediato. Foi usada profilaxia antibiótica. RESULTADOS: Não houve complicações. Um mês depois, a endoscopia de controle revelou cicatriz e alguns restos de sutura. A laparotomia, feita no mesmo tempo, revelou poucas aderências na face anterior do antro. CONCLUSÃO: O reparo endoscópico com T-tags e câmara protetora parece ser efetiva, fácil e segura. Estudos maiores e com maior tempo são necessários para confirmar estes resultados e a utilidade deste procedimento.

BACKGROUND: The risk of intraabdominal contamination is a critical consideration during most natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) procedures. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine a safe and efficient pathway for the endoscope in a transgastric NOTES procedure. DESIGN AND SETTINGS: A pilot experimental study in live pigs was performed. METHODS: Five White Landrace pigs, weighing approximately 30-35 kg, underwent the placement of a device consisting of an expandable sheath, the distal portion of which was composed of a fully covered self-expanding metal stent, and an introducer made with an outer catheter, a pushing catheter, and an inner, guiding catheter. The sheath was attached to the stent by suturing it in place. The initial gastric opening was made by means of a needle knife papilotome with electrocoagulation, aimed to the anterior gastric wall. Then, it was dilated with an endoscopic 1.8-cm balloon. The set was introduced over a Savary guidewire. After the set placement, the outer tube was slowly retrieved. Finally, the delivery system was removed from the pig, leaving the entire endoscopic port in place. RESULTS: The expandable gastric port was placed without difficulty in all animals. Endoscope insertion into the expandable gastric port was very easily performed. The endoscope had a wide range of movement inside the peritoneal cavity. The gastric port sealed the gastric wall, avoiding gross contamination of the peritoneal cavity and maintaining the pneumoperitoneum without excessive inflation of the intestine. CONCLUSIONS: Use of a gastric port can minimize contamination of the peritoneal cavity due to the spillage of gastric contents during a transgastric NOTES procedure and can also facilitate performance of the procedure.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a aplicação clínica e a efetividade da coagulação com plasma de argônio(CPA) usada para realizar a ablação do esôfago de Barrett. A presença desta moléstia é considerada uma condição pré maligna com potencial para o desenvolvimento do adenocarcinoma de esôfago. Um estudo clínico prospectivo foi realizado com um grupo de 30 pacientes portadores de esôfago de Barrett, diagnosticado por meio de endoscopia digestiva alta e histologia. 25 pacientes eram do sexo masculino com idade variando entre 12 e 72 anos (média = 47,1) e 5 pacientes eram do sexo feminino cuja idade variou entre 45 e 60( média=49.9). Os pacientes eram submetidos à cirurgia antirefluxo e depois encaminhados para o tratamento com a CPA. O tratamento era realizado sob sedação em regime ambulatorial. Os pacientes eram submetidos a sessões com intervalos de 30 dias até obter o desaparecimento completo da lesão à endoscopia. Após três meses eram realizadas biópsias para o controle de cura. O tamanho médio da área aplicada mostrou correlação com a sintomatologia e o aparecimento de complicações.Uma área maior que quatro cm correlacionou-se positivamente com estas variáveis. O número médio de sessões foi de 1 a 6 (média=2,1). O tempo médio de seguimento variou entre 29 dias a 4 anos com média de 1 ano e 4 meses. Em dois casos houve presença de epitélio de Barrett sob o neo revestimento que foi tratado novamente com bom resultado. As complicações ocorreram em 2 casos (6,6%) de estenose de esôfago e um caso(3,3%) de pneumo mediastino todas tratadas com bons resultados. O índice de sucesso com ablação total foi de 93,4%. Não houve mortalidade neste estudo.
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) in ablation therapy of specialized columnar epithelium in Barrett´s esophagus. The presence of Barrett´s epithelium is considered a premalignant condition with potential development of adenocarcinoma. The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma has been rising for the past 3 decades A prospective study performed with a group of 30 patients(25 men/5 women) with 47 years mean age (range 12 to72) for the men and 49,9 years mean age ( range 45 to 60) for the women presented with Barrett´s esophagus demonstrated by endoscopy and histology.They were referred to us after antireflux surgery and were assimptomatic at the beginning of the study. Application of APC was carried out under sedation (midazolan and meperidine) with a gas flow of 2,5 l/min & 70 w. The Barrett's epithelium was coagulated from the most proximal to the gastrointestinal junction to the most distal limit. The maximum size treated each time was 4 cm long. Special care was taken on coagulation of the visible small islands of remaining intestinal metaplasia tissue. The treatment performed in large areas, bigger than 4 cm led to the increasing rate of complications and transient symptoms. The patients returned monthly to new session until complete ablation of the Barrett´s esophagus was showed by endoscopy. Then, 3 months later after that, a extensive random biopsies were taken to histology search for Barrett's. The mean number of APC sessions was 2,1 (range 1 to 6). In two cases, endoscopy showed absence of intestinal metaplasia but histology shows small islands of intestinal metaplasia under the neosquamous epithelium. Two(6,6%) esophageal stenosis and one (3,3%) pneumomediastin case have been occurred. The follow up ranged to 27days to 4 years (mean one year and four months). Reepitelialization with squamous epithelium indistinguishable of the esophageal mucosa was demonstrated by endoscopy in 93,4%...

Los autores, a partir de un modelo estructuralista, intentan aislar una referencia determinante de la dinámica interna del grupo terapéutico. Este factor determinante, 'el outro', que está representado el en los no miembros del grupo, definiendo los límites de la estructura vivencial, aparece en el analisis dê los diálogos de las sesiones del grupo determinando la formación de estructuraciones defensivas. Concluyen los autores que la hipótesis planteada de que 'todo grupo terapéutico se estructura en relación al 'otro', que es sentido como desestruturante', es confirmada en este trabajo preliminar. Los autores todavia sugieren una linea de investigación en la búsqueda de los aspectos formales de determinación de la dinámica interna del grupo terapéutico(AU)
