OBJECTIVE: To gain insight into the specific mechanisms by which biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) can improve insulin action. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nondiabetic severely obese patients (n=20) undergoing BPD were included. Waist-to-hip ratio and serum concentration of glucose, insulin, and leptin were determined before, at 4-day, and at 2...

BACKGROUND - Bariatric operations are the most powerful means of curing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and the other major components of the metabolic syndrome. Despite the very frequent occurrence of metabolic disturbances in patients with BMI from 30 to 35, there is a general reluctance to operate on these patients, as their disease is...

Marginal ulceration (MU) is a well recognized complication after gastric resection. It develops on the intestinal side of the gastroenteric anastomosis, the possible causes being a too large gastric pouch, inadequate mucosal blood flow, Helicobacter infection or NSAID use. Since May 1976, 2,316 patients underwent biliopancreatic diversion...

The nutritional status and total body composition of 33 patients with malnutrition after biliopancreatic bypass were studied. Body composition was evaluated directly by measurement of water and total sodium and indirectly by measurement of total body potassium. After nutrition with a parenteral nutritional support the conventional nutritional...

BACKGROUND: Clinical practice has suggested that, in severely obese patients seeking bariatric surgery, clinical conditions, behavioural characteristics and psychological status might all differ from those of their counterparts starting conventional conservative therapy. METHODS: Two groups of obese patients with closely similar body mass...

BACKGROUND: A technique for standard laparoscopic BPD was developed. METHODS: Standard laparoscopic BPD was performed in 26 morbidly obese patients with mean BMI 43. Details of the technique, using 6 trocars, and instrumentation are described. Intestinal limb lengths were measured fully stretched, and the gastric remnant volume was also...

A retrocolic submesocolic approach was used for creating the gastroenteroanastomosis in 42 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion for obesity. The surgical technique is described in detail. The laparoscopic gastroenteroanastomosis was successfully performed on all the operated patients, with no intraoperative...

Recent case reports and pilot studies suggested that aromatase inhibitors might be effective in treating pain symptoms related to the presence of endometriosis. We present the case of a 32-year-old woman who suffered dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, and dyschezia caused by rectovaginal endometriosis. Pain symptoms recurred after...

BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) are highly beneficial operations for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in obese patients, leading to complete T2DM resolution in 75-90 and 97-99% of cases, respectively. In both RYGBP and BPD, the foregut is excluded from the food stream and the distal small bowel...

BACKGROUND: Intramyocellular content of lipid (IMCL) appears to be important in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance, and the improvement of insulin activity observed following biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) for obesity has to be related to reduction of IMCL. This study evaluates the possibility of detecting changes after BPD in IMCL by...
