RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Gastric bypass surgery results in long-term weight loss. Small studies have examined protein changes during rapid weight loss (up to 1 or 2 years post surgery). This study tested whether short-term changes were maintained after 12 years. METHODS: A 12-year follow-up, protein-wide association study of 1,297 SomaLogic aptamer-based plasma proteins compared short- (2-year) and long-term (12-year) protein changes in 234 individuals who had gastric bypass surgery with 144 nonintervened individuals with severe obesity. RESULTS: There were 51 replicated 12-year protein changes that differed between the surgery and nonsurgery groups. Adjusting for change in BMI, only 12 proteins remained significant, suggesting that BMI change was the primary reason for most protein changes and not non-BMI-related surgical effects. Protein changes were related to BMI changes during both weight-loss and weight-regain periods. The significant proteins were associated primarily with lipid, uric acid, or resting energy expenditure clinical variables and metabolic pathways. Eight protein changes were associated with 12-year diabetes remission, including apolipoprotein M, sex hormone binding globulin, and adiponectin (p < 3.5 × 10-5 ). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that most short-term postsurgical changes in proteins were maintained at 12 years. Systemic protection pathways, including inflammation, complement, lipid, and adipocyte pathways, were related to the long-term benefits of gastric bypass surgery.

Background: Bariatric surgery leads to long-term remission and reduced incidence of diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Short-term studies suggest reduction in specific fat depots may be more predictive of health improvement than reduced body mass index (BMI). Visceral, subcutaneous, epicardial, and liver fat, measured 11 years after bariatric surgery, were associated with long-term remission and incidence of diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Methods: Fat depots an average of 11 (maximum 14) years after surgery were quantified by noncontrast computed tomography in subjects who did (N = 261; 86% gastric bypass) or did not (N = 243) have bariatric surgery. Multiple regression related fat depots to disease endpoints with and without adjustment for change in BMI and surgical status. Results: Visceral fat was 42% lower, subcutaneous fat 20% lower, epicardial fat 30% lower, and liver-to-spleen density ratio 9% higher at follow-up in the bariatric surgery group compared with the nonsurgery group (all P < 0.01). Higher visceral fat at follow-up exam was significantly associated with reduced remission and increased incidence of diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Subcutaneous fat was not associated with disease. The liver-to-spleen ratio was associated with the remission and incidence of hypertriglyceridemia and not with other fat depots. Epicardial fat was related to incidence of elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusions: Whether or not a patient shows greater long-term diabetes, dyslipidemia, or hypertension remission or incidence after bariatric surgery appears dependent on the amount of fat within specific fat depots measured at follow-up. Furthermore, associations of the three disease endpoints with different fat depots suggest varied fat depot pathology.

BACKGROUND: Retrograde (reverse) intussusception of the jejunum is thought to be a very rare occurrence, having been reported approximately 15 times (21 patients) in medical studies. A review of our own experience of >15,000 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients found 23 cases treated since 1996. This is the largest single-center report to date. METHODS: A chart review dating back to 1996 revealed 23 patients with retrograde intussusception involving the jejunum. Their charts were reviewed. A variety of data was reviewed to identify the risk factors for developing intussusception, as well as the presentation, findings, and treatment. RESULTS: We identified 23 patients with retrograde intussusception involving the jejunum. Of these 23 patients, 22 had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. One patient had undergone Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy. Of the 23 patients, 1 (4%) had a gastrojejunal intussusception and 22 (96%) jejunojejunal intussusceptions. All patients were women, with a median age of 32 years (range 20-50). The mean body mass index at gastric bypass was 45.2 kg/m2 (range 39.4-55). Of the 23 patients, 19 (83%) had undergone open and 4 (17%) laparoscopic gastric bypass. The median duration from gastric bypass to the diagnosis of intussusception was 51 months (range 6-288). Of the 23 patients, 8 (35%) presented with gangrene, perforation, or nonreducable obstruction, 9 (39%) had a spontaneous reduction, and in 6 (26%), the obstruction was successfully reduced at surgery. The treatment was surgical resection in 16 (70%) with 2 recurrences (12.5%), simple reduction in 2 (9%) with 100% recurrence, and plication in 5 patients (22%) with 2 recurrences (40%). CONCLUSION: Retrograde intussusception of the jejunum after gastric bypass is probably more common than previously believed. Although resection and revision of the area of intussusception appears to be effective, more information is needed about the treatment and possible prevention of this disorder.

Conventional repair of recurrent ventral incisional hernia is associated with a higher recurrence rate (30%-50%) than repair of primary incisional hernia (11%-20%). Laparoscopic incisional hernia repair (LIHR) can significantly reduce the recurrence rate of primary hernia to less than 5%. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of repairing recurrent incisional hernia laparoscopically. One-hundred and seventy consecutive patients undergoing LIHR between January 1995 and December 2002 were prospectively reviewed. Patients with recurrent incisional hernia (n=69) were compared to patients with primary incisional hernia (n=101). Patient demographics and perioperative and postoperative data were recorded prospectively. Follow-up was obtained from office visits and telephone interviews. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student t test and the chi(2) test. Results are expressed as means +/- standard deviation. The patients with recurrent incisional hernia had a mean of 1.9 +/- 1.3 previous repairs, higher body mass index (BMI) (34 +/- 6 kg/m(2) vs. 33 +/- 8 kg/m(2), P=0.46), larger defect size (123 +/- 115 cm(2) vs. 101 +/- 108 cm(2), P=0.06), and longer operative time (119 +/- 61 minutes vs. 109 +/- 44 minutes, P=0.11). The complication rate was higher in the recurrent group (28% vs. 11%, P=0.01), but the recurrence rate was not different (7% vs. 5%, P=0.53). The mean time to recurrence was significantly shorter in the recurrent group (3 +/- 2 months vs. 14 +/- 7 months, P < 0.0001). The mean follow-up interval was 19 +/- 18 months in the recurrent group and 27 +/- 20 months in the primary group. Although laparoscopic repair of recurrent incisional hernia resulted in a higher recurrence and complication rate than laparoscopic repair of primary incisional hernia, the rates were lower than those reported for conventional repair of recurrent incisional hernia. Laparoscopic repair of recurrent incisional hernia is an effective alternative to conventional repair.

BACKGROUND: We reported on our experience of 23 patients with retrograde intussusception (RINT) in 2007. That series has increased to 54 patients. Surgical resection of the jejunojejunostomy appears to be the most effective treatment. We treated 8 patients with documented or suspected recurrent RINT despite resection, by reversing their gastric bypass with sleeve gastrectomy to avoid weight regain. METHODS: The medical records of 8 patients who had undergone treatment of suspected recurrent RINT with reversal of their gastric bypass followed by sleeve gastrectomy were reviewed to evaluate the outcomes, complications, weight loss, and relief of symptoms. RESULTS: All 8 patients were women, aged 29-56 years. The mean body mass index at reversal was 22.3-36.5 kg/m(2) (mean 30). The follow-up period was 1-28 months (mean 20.8). The body mass index at the last visit was 21.3-33 kg/m(2) (mean 26). Complications occurred in 5 patients. Patient 1 developed delayed splenic bleeding that required splenectomy on the second postoperative day. Patient 2 developed a gastric fistula 6 weeks after surgery after dilation. Patient 4 developed a superior mesenteric vein thrombosis at 2 weeks postoperatively. Patient 7 developed a proximal small bowel obstruction. Also, 4 patients required dilation of the gastrogastrostomy. At the last follow-up visit, the patients did not have symptoms of recurrent RINT and had not regained their weight. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic reversal of gastric bypass with sleeve gastrectomy for recurrent RINT or RINT-like symptoms (Roux stasis symptoms) resulted in a significant risk of complications in this small group of patients but appears to be effective for relieving the symptoms of RINT with minimal risk of weight regain, at least in the medium term.
