          Abstract

          Abstract Bariatric surgery (BS) from the Greek bari = weight and iatrein = cure) treats obesity and began in Spain in 1973. Its greatest development occurs after the founding of SECO (Spanish Society of Obesity Surgery) in 1997. The purpose of this work is to reflect the changes that have occurred in these 22 years.

          Complications of the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: 1,040 patients--what have we learned?

          The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is one of the most common operations for morbid obesity. Laparoscopic techniques have been reported, but suffer from small numbers of patients, longer operative times and seemingly higher initial complication rates as compared to the traditional "open" procedure. The minimally invasive approach continues to be a challenge even to the most experienced laparoscopic surgeons. The purpose of this study is to describe our experience and complications of the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a totally hand-sewn gastrojejunostomy. 1,040 consecutive laparoscopic procedures were evaluated prospectively. Only patients who had a previous open gastric procedure were excluded initially. Eventually, even patients with failed "open" bariatric procedures and other gastric procedures were revised laparoscopically to the RYGBP. All patients met NIH criteria for consideration for weight reductive surgery. There were no anastomotic leaks from the hand-sewn gastrojejunostomy. Early complications and open conversions were related to sub-optimal exposure and bowel fixation techniques. Several staple failures were attributed to a manufacturer redesign of an instrument. Average hospital stay was 1.9 days for all patients and 1.5 days for patients without complications. Operative times consistently approach 60 minutes. Average excess weight loss was 70% at 12 months. There were 5 deaths: perioperative pulmonary embolism (1), late pulmonary embolism (2), asthma (1), and suicide (1). The laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity with a totally hand-sewn gastrojejunostomy can be safely performed by the bariatric surgeon with advanced laparoscopic skills in the community setting. Fixation and closure of all potential hernia sites with non-absorbable sutures is essential. Stenosis of the hand-sewn gastrojejunal anastomosis is amenable to endoscopic balloon dilation. Meticulous attention must be paid to the operative and perioperative care of the patient.

            Bilio-pancreatic bypass for obesity: II. Initial experience in man.

            After a successful trial of bilio-pancreatic bypass in dogs, a clinical study has been completed in 18 patients followed for more than 1 year. The operation has been modified to achieve the best weight reduction, and forming the bilio-pancreatic tract of equal length to the alimentary tract with a short common ileal tract, the average weight loss as a percentage of the preoperative body weight was 24.1 +/- 5.4 per cent (mean +/- s.d.) at 6 months and 33.7 +/- 4.1 per cent at 12 months. The only immediate complication was a wound dehiscence, and there were no late complications. Liver function studies showed the absence of hepatic deterioration and liver biopsies showed improvement of liver morphology 1 year after the operation. It is suggested that this procedure may be an alternative to jejuno-ileal bypass in the management of obesity.

              Early results of laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch: a case series of 40 consecutive patients.

              Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) is an operation which provides one of the greatest maintained weight losses of any bariatric procedure. We looked at the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic BPD-DS for morbid obesity. A 150-200 ml sleeve gastrectomy was created and anastomosed to the distal 250 cm of divided ileum. The median length of the common channel was 100 cm. All patients were prospectively followed up to 12 months. 40 consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic BPD-DS as a primary procedure for morbid obesity. Median patient body mass index (BMI) was 60 kg/m2 (range 42-85 kg/m2). Mean age was 43 +/- 1 years (+/- SEM), with 12 males and 28 females. One patient was converted to open laparotomy (2.5%). Median operative time was 210 +/- 9 minutes (range 110-360 minutes) with a significant correlation between BMI and operative time (p = 0.04). Median length of stay was 4 days (range 3-210 days). There was one 30-day mortality (2.5%). Major morbidities occurred in 6 patients (15%), including 1 anastomotic leak (2.5%), 1 venous thrombosis (2.5%), 4 staple-line hemorrhages (10%) and 1 subphrenic abscess (2.5%). Median follow-up at 6 months (range 1-12 months) resulted in 46% +/- 2% excess weight loss (EWL) and at 9 months 58% +/- 3% EWL. Laparoscopic BPD-DS is a complex, yet feasible, procedure resulting in effective weight loss with an acceptable morbidity. A BMI >65 was associated with increased morbidity and mortality. A long-term study is needed to confirm efficacy and proper patient selection.
