RESUMO

One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has gained importance as a simple, safe, and effective operation to treat morbid obesity. We previously found that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery with a long compared with a short biliopancreatic limb (BPL) leads to improved weight loss and glucose tolerance in obese mice. However, it is not known whether a long BPL in OAGB surgery also results in beneficial metabolic outcomes. Five-week-old male C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks underwent OAGB surgery with defined BPL lengths (5.5 cm distally of the duodenojejunal junction for short and 9.5 cm for long BPL), or sham surgery combined with caloric restriction. Weight loss, glucose tolerance, obesity-related comorbidities, endocrine effects, gut microbiota, and bile acids were assessed. Total weight loss was independent of the length of the BPL after OAGB surgery. However, a long BPL was associated with lower glucose-stimulated insulin on day 14, and an improved glucose tolerance on day 35 after surgery. Moreover, a long BPL resulted in reduced total cholesterol, while there were no differences in the resolution of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and adipose tissue inflammation. Tendencies of an attenuated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and aldosterone were present in the long BPL group. With both the short and long BPL, we found an increase in primary conjugated bile acids (pronounced in long BPL) along with a loss in bacterial Desulfovibrionaceae and Erysipelotrichaceae and simultaneous increase in Akkermansiaceae, Sutterellaceae, and Enterobacteriaceae. In summary, OAGB surgery with a long compared with a short BPL led to similar weight loss, but improved glucose metabolism, lipid, and endocrine outcomes in obese mice, potentially mediated through changes in gut microbiota and related bile acids. Tailoring the BPL length in humans might help to optimize metabolic outcomes after bariatric surgery.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Weight loss following OAGB surgery in obese mice was not influenced by BPL length, but a longer BPL was associated with improved metabolic outcomes, including glucose and lipid homeostasis. These changes could be mediated by bile acids upon altered gut microbiota. Further validation of these findings is required through a randomized human study.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has been proposed as an effective alternative to the current standard procedure in Switzerland, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Prospective data comparing both procedures are scarce. Therefore, we performed a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial assessing the effectiveness and safety of these 2 operative techniques. METHOD: Eighty patients were randomized 1:1. OAGB consisted of a very long gastric pouch with a 200 cm biliopancreatic limb, RYGB of a 150 cm ante-colic alimentary and a 60 cm biliopancreatic limb, respectively. Primary endpoint was the percent excess weight loss (%EWL) at 12 months after surgery. RESULTS: Mean %EWL at 12 months was 87.9% (SD24.4) in the RYGB group and 104.1% (SD24.6) in the OAGB group (p = 0.006). There was no mortality. The rate of marginal ulcers was higher in patients with OAGB compared to those with RYGB (p = 0.011), while the total number of late complications did not statistically differ between the two groups. Except for the remission of GERD, which was higher in the RYGB group compared to OAGB, there was no difference between the groups regarding the remission of comorbidities. OAGB showed improved glucose control compared to the RYGB after 1 year (p = 0.001). Furthermore, glucagon-like peptide-1 increase was significantly higher in OAGB at 6 weeks (p = 0.041) and 1 year after surgery (p = 0.029). Quality of life improved after both surgeries, without differences between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: %EWL 1 year after surgery was higher in OAGB than in RYGB. A better glycemic control with a higher increase in GLP-1 was observed after OAGB compared to RYGB. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov under the identifier NCT02601092.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the actual incidence of symptomatic Petersen's hernias (PH) as well as identify risk factors for their occurrence. METHODS: Search was performed in Medline (via PubMed), Web of Science, and Cochrane library, using the keywords "Petersen Or Petersen's AND hernia" and "Internal hernia." Only studies of symptomatic PH were eligible. Fifty-three studies matched our criteria and were included. Risk of bias for each study was independently assessed using the checklist modification by Hoy et al. Analysis was performed using random-effects models, with subsequent subgroup analyses. RESULTS: A total of 81,701 patients were included. Mean time interval from index operation to PH diagnosis was 17.8 months. Total small bowel obstruction (SBO) events at Petersen's site were 737 (0.7%). SBO incidence was significantly higher in patients without defect closure (1.2% vs 0.3%, p < 0.01), but was not significantly affected by anastomosis fashion (retrocolic 0.7% vs antecolic 0.8%, p = 0.99). SBO incidence was also not significantly affected by the surgical approach (laparoscopic = 0.7% vs open = 0.1%, p = 0.18). However, retrocolic anastomosis was found to be associated with marginally, but not significantly, increased SBO rate in patients with Petersen's space closure, compared with the antecolic anastomosis (p = 0.09). CONCLUSION: PH development may occur after any gastric operation with gastrojejunal anastomosis. Contrary to anastomosis fashion and surgical approach, defect closure was demonstrated to significantly reduce SBO incidence. Limitations of this study may include the high heterogeneity and the possible publication bias across the included studies.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Tumor infiltration with cytotoxic CD8+ T-cells is associated with a favorable outcome in several neoplasms, including thyroid cancer. The chemokine axis CXCR4/SDF-1 correlates with more aggressive tumors, but little is known concerning the prognostic relevance in relation to the tumor immune microenvironment of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). METHODS: A tissue microarray (TMA) of 37 tumor specimens of primary DTC was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the expression of CD8+, CXCR4, phosphorylated CXCR4 and SDF-1. A survival analysis was performed on a larger collective (n = 456) at RNA level using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) papillary thyroid cancer cohort. RESULTS: Among the 37 patients in the TMA-cohort, the density of CD8+ was higher in patients with less advanced primary tumors (median cells/TMA-punch: 12.5 (IQR: 6.5, 12.5) in T1-2 tumors vs. 5 (IQR: 3, 8) in T3-4 tumors, p = 0.05). In the TCGA-cohort, CXCR4 expression was higher in patients with cervical lymph node metastasis compared to N0 or Nx stage (CXCR4high/low 116/78 vs. 97/116 vs. 14/35, respectively, p = 0.001). Spearman's correlation analysis of the TMA-cohort demonstrated that SDF-1 was significantly correlated with CXCR4 (r = 0.4, p = 0.01) and pCXCR4 (r = 0.5, p = 0.002). In the TCGA-cohort, density of CD8+ correlated with CXCR4 and SDF-1 expression (r = 0.58, p < 0.001; r = 0.4, p < 0.001). The combined marker analysis of the TCGA cohort demonstrated that high expression of both, CXCR4 and SDF-1 was associated with reduced overall survival in the CD8 negative TCGA cohort (p = 0.004). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the prognostic significance of CXCR4 and SDF-1 in differentiated thyroid cancer depends on the density of CD8 positive T-lymphocytes. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to support our findings and inform future investigations of new treatment and diagnostic options for a more personalized approach for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Nestin, a class VI intermediate filament protein of the cytoskeleton, and CD34, a transmembrane phosphoglycoprotein, are markers of progenitor cells. This study aimed to evaluate their expression and clinical significance in colorectal cancer. METHODS: A clinically annotated tissue microarray, including 599 patients with colorectal cancer, was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, nestin and CD34 correlations with HIF-1a and a panel of cytokines and chemokines were assessed using quantitative reverse transcription PCR and The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset. RESULTS: Expression of nestin and CD34 was observed only in the tumor stroma. Patients displaying high expression of nestin and CD34 demonstrated higher rates of T1 and T2 tumors (p = .020), lower vascular invasion (p < .001) and improved 5-year overall survival (65%; 95% CI = 55-73 vs 45%; 95% CI = 37-53) after adjusting for clinicopathological characteristics (HR: 0.67; 95% CI = 0.46-0.96). A moderate to strong correlation (r = 0.37-0.78, p < .03) of nestin and CD34 was demonstrated for the following markers; HIF-1α, CD4, CD8, FOXP3, IRF1, GATA3, CCL2, CCL3, CXCL12 and CCL21. CONCLUSIONS: Combined expression of nestin and CD34 expression is associated with better overall survival possibly by modulating a favorable immune response.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Analysis of tumor immune infiltration has been suggested to outperform tumor, node, metastasis staging in predicting clinical course of colorectal cancer (CRC). Infiltration by cells expressing OX40, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, or CD16, expressed by natural killer cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells, has been associated with favorable prognosis in patients with CRC. We hypothesized that assessment of CRC infiltration by both OX40+ and CD16+ cells might result in enhanced prognostic significance. METHODS: Colorectal cancer infiltration by OX40 and CD16 expressing cells was investigated in 441 primary CRCs using tissue microarrays and specific antibodies, by immunohistochemistry. Patients' survival was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests. Multivariate Cox regression analysis, hazard ratios, and 95% confidence intervals were also used to evaluate prognostic significance of OX40+ and CD16+ cell infiltration. RESULTS: Colorectal cancer infiltration by OX40+ and CD16+ cells was subclassified into 4 groups with high or low infiltration levels in all possible combinations. High levels of infiltration by both OX40+ and CD16+ cells were associated with lower pT stage, absence of peritumoral lymphocytic (PTL) inflammation, and a positive prognostic impact. Patients bearing tumors with high infiltration by CD16+ and OX40+ cells were also characterized by significantly longer overall survival, as compared with the other groups. These results were confirmed by analyzing an independent validation cohort. CONCLUSIONS: Combined infiltration by OX40+ and CD16+ immune cells is an independent favorable prognostic marker in CRC. The prognostic value of CD16+ immune cell infiltration is significantly improved by the combined analysis with OX40+ cell infiltration.

RESUMO

Recent reports have described the incidence of atrioesophageal fistulas (AEF), often resulting in death, from radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF).1 Cases of esophageal perforation without concomitant AEF have not been described as extensively.1 The precise mechanisms leading to esophageal injury after catheter ablation without involvement of the left atrium are not fully understood. The surgical approach to treat esophageal perforation is strongly recommended.2 However, a unified surgical treatment approach has not yet been established. We describe a case of successful surgical repair of an esophageal perforation after ablation using surgical repair in combination with an omental wrap.

RESUMO

New endoluminal and surgical methods for the treatment of morbid obesity Abstract. A number of endoluminal techniques to treat (morbid) obesity have been developed recently aiming at finding less invasive methods that may be more acceptable for patients. Through upper endoscopy changes are made to the gastro-intestinal tract. Welldesigned trials have to prove their effectiveness and safety. In the meantime they remain experimental and this has to be communicated to the patient. New operative techniques have also been developed. The One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass is a variation of the standard Roux-Y-Gastric Bypass. There is evidence supporting that it can also become an accepted standard bariatric procedure in Switzerland.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Ovarian carcinoma (OC) is the fifth most common female cancer and mostly diagnosed at an advanced stage. Surgical debulking is usually followed by adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy. Only few biomarkers are known to be related to chemosensitivity. OX40 is a TNF receptor member and expressed on activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. It is known that OX40 signaling promotes survival and responds to various immune cells of the innate and adaptive immune system. Therefore we investigated the indicative value of OX40 expression for recurrence and survival in OC. METHODS: A tissue microarray of biopsies of mostly high-grade primary serous OC and matched recurrences of 47 patients was stained with OX40. Recurrence within 6 months of the completion of platinum-based chemotherapy was defined as chemoresistance. RESULTS: Chemosensitivity correlated significantly with high OX40 positive immune cell density in primary cancer biopsies (p = 0.027). Furthermore patients with a higher OX40 expression in recurrent cancer biopsies showed a better outcome in recurrence free survival (RFS) (p = 0.017) and high OX40 expression was associated with chemosensitivity (p = 0.008). OX40 positive TICI in recurrent carcinomas significantly correlated with IL-17 positive tumor infiltrating immune cells in primary carcinomas (r s = 0.34; p = 0.023). Univariate cox regression analysis revealed a significant longer RFS and higher numbers of chemotherapy cycles for high OX40 tumor cell expression in recurrent cancer biopsies (HR 0.39, 95%CI 0.16-0.94, p = 0.036 and 1.28, 95%CI 1.05-1.55; p = 0.013). CONCLUSION: High OX40 expression in OC is correlated with chemosensitivity and improved RFS in OC. Patients might therefore benefit from a second line therapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The impact of blood supply to the anastomosis on development of anastomotic leakage is still a matter of debate. Considering that bowel perfusion may be affected by manipulation during surgery, perfusion assessment of the anastomosis alone may be of limited value. We propose perfusion assessment at different time points during surgery to explore the dynamics of bowel perfusion during colorectal resection and its impact on outcome. METHODS: In this prospective cohort study, patients undergoing elective colorectal resection were eligible. Colon perfusion was evaluated using visible light spectroscopy. Main outcome was the difference in colon perfusion, quantified by measuring tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) in the colonic serosa, before and after anastomosis during surgery. RESULTS: We included 58 patients between July 2013 and November 2015. Colon perfusion increased by an average of 5.9% StO2 during surgery (95% confidence interval 3.1, 8.8; P < 0.001). The number of patients with abnormal perfusion (defined as StO2 < 65%) decreased from 50% at the beginning to 24% by the end of surgery. Six patients (10%) developed anastomotic leaks (AL), of which five patients had abnormal perfusion at the beginning of surgery, whereas four patients had normal StO2 at the anastomosis. CONCLUSION: Colon perfusion significantly increased during colorectal surgery. Considering that one quarter of patients had suboptimal anastomotic perfusion without developing AL, impaired blood flow at the anastomosis alone does not seem to be critical. Further investigations including more patients are necessary to evaluate the impact of perioperative parameters on colon perfusion, anastomotic healing and surgical outcome.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cancer of the ovary is mostly discovered at a late stage and cannot be removed by surgery alone. Therefore surgery is usually followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. However, few reliable biomarkers exist to predict response to chemotherapy of ovarian cancer. Previously, we could demonstrate that IL-17 density is indicative for chemosensitivity. This study focuses on the predictive value of myeloperoxidase (MPO) concerning response to chemotherapy of ovarian cancer. METHODS: Biopsies of mostly high-grade primary serous ovarian carcinomas and their matched recurrences were stained with MPO after fixation in formalin and embedding in paraffin. For this staining the technique of tissue-microarray was used. Recurrence within 6 months of the completion of platinum-based chemotherapy was defined as chemoresistance as previously publised. Data for MPO could be analyzed in 92 biopsies. RESULTS: MPO and IL-17 positive immune cells correlated significantly in biopsies of primary and recurrent carcinomas (r s = 0.41; p = 0.004 and r s = 0.40; p = 0.007, respectively). MPO expression alone did not predict response to chemotherapy, but in multivariate cox regression analysis including age, residual disease, number of chemotherapy cycles, FIGO classification and combined categorized MPO and IL-17 cell densities of primary cancer biopsies, the combination of both immune markers was an independent prognostic factor for recurrence-free survival (p = 0.013, HR = .23, 95CI = 0.07-0.73). There was no chemoresistant patient in the subgroup of MPO + IL-17+, neither in primary nor in recurrent cancer biopsies. CONCLUSIONS: High MPO positive cell density enhances the indicative value of IL-17 for response to chemotherapy in ovarian carcinoma. Although, these results have to be validated in a larger cohort.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Internal hernias (IH) after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) have been reported with an incidence of 11 %. IH can lead to bowel incarceration and potentially bowel necrosis. The aim of this study was to analyze reoperations and intraoperative findings in a cohort of patients with unclosed mesenteric defects. METHODS: From a prospective database of patients with LRYGB, we selected as primary cohort patients with non-closure of mesenteric defects and abdominal reoperation for analysis. The data included pre-, intra- and post-operative findings, computed tomogram results and laboratory test results. This group underwent a very very long limb LRYGB, at that time the institutional standard technique. Additionally, a more recently operated cohort with primary closure of mesenteric defects was also analyzed. RESULTS: We identified 146 patients with primary non-closure and reoperation, mean age of 43.8 years. The main indication for reoperation was unclear abdominal pain in 119 patients with 27 patients undergoing a reoperation for other reasons (weight regain, prophylactic surgical inspection of mesenteric defects). Median time and mean excess weight loss from RYGB to reoperation were 41.1 months and 62.7 %, respectively. The incidence of IH was 14.4 %, with all patients with an IH being symptomatic. Conversion rate from laparoscopic to open surgery was 5.5 %, mortality 0.7 % and morbidity 3.4 %. Thirty-one patients underwent a second re-look laparoscopy. Eleven patients had recurrent open mesenteric defects. Three hundred and sixteen patients who underwent primary closure of the mesenteric defects had a reoperation rate of 13.6 % and an IH rate of 0.6 %. CONCLUSION: The incidence of IH in patients without closure of mesenteric defects and reoperation is high and substantially higher compared to patients with primary closure of mesenteric defects. Patients with or without closure of mesenteric defects following LRYGB with acute, chronic or recurrent pain should be referred to a bariatric surgeon for diagnostic laparoscopy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) has been a widely performed bariatric procedure. Unfortunately, revisional surgery is required in 20-30% of cases. Data comparing revisional and primary gastric bypass procedures are scarce. This study compared revisional malabsorptive laparoscopic very very long limb (VVLL) Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) with primary VVLL RYGB and tested the hypothesis that one-stage revisional laparoscopic VVLL RYGB is an effective procedure after failed LAGB. METHODS: In this study, 48 revisional VVLL RYGBs were matched one-to-one with 48 primary VVLL RYGBs. The outcome measures were operating time, conversion to open surgery, excess weight loss (EWL), and early and late morbidity. RESULTS: Surgical and medical morbidities did not differ significantly. No conversions occurred. The revisional group showed an EWL of 41.8% after 12 months of follow-up evaluation and 45.1% after 24 months based on the pre-revisional weight. The total EWL based on the weight before the LAGB was calculated to be 54.3% after 12 months and 57.2% after 24 months. The EWL in the primary RYGB group was significantly higher for both types of calculation: 41.8%/54.3% versus 64.1 % (p < 0.001 and <0.01) after 12 months and 45.1%/57.2% versus 70.4% (p < 0.001 and <0.002) after 24 months. CONCLUSIONS: Revisional laproscopic VVLL RYGB can be performed as a one-stage procedure by experienced bariatric surgeons but shows less effective EWL than primary RYGB procedures.

RESUMO

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been recently termed metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) to address the strong association with the metabolic syndrome. The prevalence of MAFLD is significantly increased in obese individuals and treatment of obesity is currently the cornerstone of management of MAFLD. Bariatric and metabolic surgery nowadays emerges as a key therapeutic strategy for the treatment of the MAFLD. This review aims to provide an update on the novel studies reporting the outcomes of bariatric surgery on the spectrum of MAFLD, from hepatic steatosis to cirrhosis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Ovarian carcinoma is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy because of its late diagnosis, extremely high recurrence rate, and limited curative treatment options. In clinical practice, high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) predominates due to its frequency, high aggressiveness, and rapid development of drug resistance. Recent evidence suggests that CXCL12 is an important immunological factor in ovarian cancer progression. Therefore, we investigated the predictive and prognostic significance of the expression of this chemokine in tumor and immune cells in patients with HGSC. METHODS: We studied a cohort of 47 primary high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas and their associated recurrences. A tissue microarray was constructed to evaluate the CXCL12 immunostained tumor tissue. CXCL12 expression was evaluated and statistically analyzed to correlate clinicopathologic data, overall survival, and recurrence-free survival. RESULTS: A high proportion of CXCL12 + positive immune cells in primary ovarian serous carcinoma correlated significantly with chemosensitivity (p = 0.005), overall survival (p = 0.021), and longer recurrence-free survival (p = 0.038). In recurrent disease, high expression of CXCL12 was also correlated with better overall survival (p = 0.040). Univariate and multivariate analysis revealed that high CXCL12 + tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TICs) (HR 0.99, p = 0.042, HR 0.99, p = 0.023, respectively) and combined CXCL12 + /CD66b + infiltration (HR 0.15, p = 0.001, HR 0.13, p = 0.001, respectively) are independent favorable predictive markers for recurrence-free survival. CONCLUSION: A high density of CXCL12 + TICs predicts a good response to chemotherapy, leading to a better overall survival and a longer recurrence-free interval. Moreover, with concomitant high CXCL12/CD66b TIC density, it is an independent favorable predictor of recurrence-free survival in patients with ovarian carcinoma.

RESUMO

Spontaneous rectal perforation with transanal small intestinal evisceration is a rare condition. We report the case of an 83-year-old woman with a rectal perforation and transanal prolapse of small intestine through the rectal opening who was treated with transanal reposition under general anaesthesia and open Hartmann's procedure. As part of the Hartmann's procedure, segmental resection of the perforated colon was performed. This case illustrates that spontaneous rectal perforation is a severe surgical emergency, which needs immediate reposition and resection of the perforated rectum.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Small bowel obstruction (SBO) due to internal hernias (IH) is a well-recognised complication after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Routine closure of the mesenteric defects (MDs) is recommended to reduce the risk of IH and subsequent SBO. However, data about the rates of reopening of the MDs after LRYGB is scarce. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of reopening of the MDs after routine closure during LRYGB. The secondary objective was to determine any risk factors associated with the reopening of the MDs. METHODS: Data of all patients who underwent reoperations after LRYGB with closure of both MDs between January 2010 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: A total of 162 patients were included. The median time between LRYGB and reoperation was 17 months. At the time of reoperation, both MDs were closed in 83 patients (51.2%); thus, 79 patients (48.8%) presented at least one open MD. The group of patients with preoperative diagnosis of SBO or with recurrent abdominal pain showed significantly higher rates of open Petersen's space compared to the group of patients with other preoperative diagnoses. Preoperative body mass index (BMI) less than 40 kg/m2 at time of LRYGB was associated with a higher risk for an open MD. CONCLUSION: At least one MD reopened in almost half of the patients despite routine closure during LRYGB. Therefore, the status of MDs should be routinely examined during every reoperation after LRYGB and closure of open MDs should be performed.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Visible light spectroscopy (VLS) represents a sensitive, non-invasive method to quantify tissue oxygen levels and detect hypoxemia. The aim of this study was to assess the microperfusion patterns of the gastric pouch during laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) using the VLS technique. METHODS: Twenty patients were enrolled. Tissue oxygenation (StO2%) measurements were performed at three different localizations of the gastric wall, prior and after the creation of the gastric pouch, and after the creation of the gastro-jejunostomy. RESULTS: Prior to the creation of the gastric pouch, the lowest StO2% levels were observed at the level of the distal esophagus with a median StO2% of 43 (IQR 40.8-49.5). After the creation of the gastric pouch and after the creation of the gastro-jejunostomy, the lowest StO2% levels were recorded at the level of the His angle with median values of 29% (IQR 20-38.5) and 34.5% (IQR 19-39), respectively. The highest mean StO2 reduction was recorded at the level of the His angle after the creation of the gastric pouch, and it was 18.3% (SD ± 18.1%, p < 0.001). A reduction of StO2% was recorded at all localizations after the formation of the gastro-jejunostomy compared to the beginning of the operation, but the mean differences of the StO2% levels were statistically significant only at the resection line of the pouch and at the His angle (p = 0.044 and p < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION: Gastric pouch demonstrates reduction of StO2% during LRYGB. VLS is a useful technique to assess microperfusion patterns of the stomach during LRYGB.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The study was conducted to explore the perceptions of patients from a bariatric program who have undergone or will undergo bariatric surgery during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, specifically as related to their struggles with health issues and their psychological well-being. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews with nineteen pre- or post-bariatric patients to generate data on their perceptions of COVID-19. Consistent with the methods of constructivist grounded theory, we collected and analyzed data iteratively through a constant comparative process for data coding and develop themes in the transcripts. RESULTS: We identified themes to summarize the pandemic-associated experiences of our cohort as follows: their life structure before COVID-19, the turning point with changes and adaptations, and the impact of isolation on psychological well-being. We identified grief due to loss of social contacts as well as physical and psychological health impairment as consequences of pandemic-related lifestyle changes. Most participants were not aware of overweight and obesity being major risk factors for worse outcomes of COVID-19. We developed a theme-based theory on patients' perceptions and fears regarding the pandemic as they live through phases of grief. DISCUSSION: Most participants shared critical perceptions about their own somatic and psychological health. These findings may inform recommendations and strategies for both patients and healthcare professionals to manage the challenges potentially presented by this vulnerable patient group in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) results in long-term weight loss and reduced obesity related co-morbidities. However, little is known about how the lengths of the biliopancreatic limb (BPL), the alimentary limb (AL), and the common limb (CL) affect weight loss and glucose metabolism. OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to establish a RYGB obese mouse model with defined proportions of the AL and BPL and a constant CL to assess the effects on weight loss,glucose metabolism, and obesity-related co-morbidities. SETTING: In vivo mouse study. METHODS: Six-week-old male C57BL/6J mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) underwent bariatric surgery with defined BPL lengths: a very long, long, and short BPL (35%, 25%, and 15% of total bowel length), or sham surgery. The length of the AL was adjusted to achieve the same CL length. Mice were analyzed for weight loss, glycemic control, and obesity-related co-morbidities. RESULTS: Mice undergoing RYGB surgery with a very long BPL had excessive weight loss and mortality and were therefore not further analyzed. Mice with a long BPL showed a significantly increased total weight loss when compared with mice with a short BPL. In addition, a long BPL improved glucose tolerance, particularly early after surgery. A long BPL was also associated with lower triglyceride levels. Resolution of hepatic steatosis and adipose tissue inflammation was, however, not statistically significant. Of note, bariatric surgery dramatically changed gut microbiota, regardless of limb length. CONCLUSION: In obese mice, a long BPL results in enhanced weight loss and improved glucose tolerance. These findings could potentially be translated to humans by tailoring the BPL length according to body weight, obesity-related co-morbidities, and total bowel length of an individual patient.
