BACKGROUND

The intervertebral disc (IVD) is a complex organ that acts as a flexible coupling between two adjacent vertebral bodies and must therefore accommodate compression, bending, and torsion. It consists of three main components, which are elegantly structured to allow this: the annulus fibrosus (AF), the nucleus pulposus (NP), and the end-plates (EP).

PURPOSE

Thus far, it has not been possible to examine the microarchitecture of the disc directly in three dimensions in its unaltered state and thus knowledge of the overall architecture of the disc has been inferred from a range of imaging sources, or by using destructive methods.

STUDY DESIGN

A nondestructive ultrahigh field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of 11.7 T was used together with image analysis to visualize the ovine IVDs.

METHODS

Three-dimensional image stacks from eight IVDs harvested from sheep, half of which were 4 to 5 years old and the others approximately 2 years old were reconstructed and examined, and their microstructure were imaged. The overall structure of the disc, including the average of 14 AF lamellae (9–28), NP, and EP was then visualized with particular attention given to integrating elements as radial translamellar cross-links, AF–NP transition zone EP–AF integration and EP–NP insertion nodes (ie the connecting junctions between the EP and NP). Moreover, collagen fiber orientation was determined at different depths and locations throughout the annulus.

RESULTS

It was found that there was a clearer demarcation in the AF–NP transition zone of the younger discs compared with the older ones. This difference was reflected in the visibility of AF–NP and EP–AF integration. It was also possible to view the fiber architecture of the AF–NP integration in greater depth than was possible previously with histological techniques. These fibers were mainly observed in the younger discs and their length was measured to be of 2.6 ± 0.2 mm.

CONCLUSIONS

The present results provide a substantial advance in visualization of the three-dimensional architecture of an intact IVD and the integration of its components.  相似文献

BACKGROUND CONTEXT

Intravertebral clefts (IVCs) are vacuum-like cavities commonly associated with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). IVCs promote cement leakage during kyphoplasty, suggesting a physical link with the basivertebral foramen, although this is uncertain.

PURPOSE

The present study aims to create IVCs in mechanical experiments on cadaveric spines in order to clarify their pathogenesis, structure, and links with the basivertebral foramen.

STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS

In total, 15 three-vertebra lumbar specimens from five cadavers aged 68 to 71 years were subjected to axial compressive overload followed by cyclic loading in flexion and extension to create an OVCF together with an IVC. Computed tomography scans and radiographs were used to confirm structural changes and micro-CT was used to measure trabecular bone properties in five specimens. Unipedicular vertebroplasty was then performed on 10 damaged specimens until fluoroscopy revealed extravasation of cement.

RESULTS

In every specimen, loading created an OVCF with an IVC. Dissection and imaging showed that the IVC was always connected with the basivertebral foramen. The central vertebral region, including the IVC, had the lowest connectivity density, trabecular number, and bone volume fraction, and the highest trabecular separation. Vertebroplasty caused cement leakage through the basivertebral foramen in nine specimens and into an adjacent disc in one specimen.

CONCLUSION

Cyclic loading in flexion and extension applied to a fractured osteoporotic vertebra can create an IVC, which then allows cement leakage via the basivertebral foramen.  相似文献

BACKGROUND CONTEXT

Spondylitis is a rare infection in bone requiring multiple diagnostic strategies for verification.

PURPOSE

This study aimed to compare the diagnostic values of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting spondylitis.

METHODS

Online PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched through September 2017 for studies comparing the diagnostic values of 18F-FDG-PET and MRI. The summary sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve were calculated using Stata software. The ratio of these indexes between 18F-FDG-PET and MRI was also determined.

RESULTS

The summary results for 18F-FDG-PET were as follows: sensitivity=0.96 [95% confidence intervals (CI), 0.84–0.99]; specificity=0.90 (95% CI, 0.79–0.96); PLR=9.83 (95% CI, 4.39–22.03); NLR=0.05 (95% CI, 0.01–0.19); DOR=124.08 (95% CI, 39.04–394.34); and area under the SROC=0.97 (95% CI, 0.95–0.98). The summary sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, DOR, and area under the SROC for MRI were 0.76 (95% CI, 0.65–0.84), 0.62 (95% CI, 0.45–0.77), 2.01 (95% CI, 1.36–2.98), 0.39 (95% CI, 0.27–0.56), 5.08 (95% CI, 2.66–9.69), and 0.77 (95% CI, 0.73–0.80), respectively. The summary results of sensitivity (p=.034), specificity (p=.006), PLR (p<.001), DOR (p<.001), and area under the SROC (p<.001) were higher in 18F-FDG-PET than in MRI. However, NLR (p=.003) was lower in 18F-FDG-PET than in MRI.

CONCLUSIONS

18F-FDG-PET had a higher diagnostic value compared with MRI in detecting spondylitis.  相似文献

BACKGROUND CONTEXT

Previous studies suggest that a postoperative symptom state with Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)≤20 and pain Numeric Rating Scales (NRS)≤2 following surgery for lumbar degenerative conditions are reasonable thresholds for best outcomes in which patients will be unlikely to seek additional medical care or require additional health-care resources.

PURPOSE

To identify prognostic factors that predict a “best outcome,” defined as postoperative ODI≤20 and pain NRS≤2 following fusion for lumbar degenerative conditions.

STUDY DESIGN

Longitudinal observational cohort.

PATIENT SAMPLE

A total of 396 patients from a single site enrolled in the Quality Outcomes Database who underwent fusion for lumbar degenerative conditions.

Outcome Measures

Oswestry Disability Index, Back and Leg Pain NRS (0–10).

METHODS

Collected and analyzed variables included age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesia grade, number of surgical levels, surgical time, preoperative ODI, preoperative back pain, preoperative leg pain, workmen compensation status, surgical approach, smoking status, and principal diagnosis.

RESULTS

A total of 74 patients (19%) reported a minimal symptom state at 1-year postoperative (ODI≤20, back pain NRS≤2, and leg pain NRS≤2) and were included in the best outcomes group. Patients in the best outcomes group were older (62 vs. 57 years, p=.001), had lower preoperative ODI (43 vs. 56, p=.000), lower preoperative back pain (6.5 vs. 7.5, p=.000). They had fewer surgical levels (1.25 vs. 1.47, p=.005) and shorter operative times [OR] times (208 vs. 241 minutes, p=.002). They were more likely to have a preoperative diagnosis of spondylolisthesis or disc herniation and less likely to have a diagnosis of adjacent segment disease or mechanical disc collapse (p=.001). Stepwise forward regression analysis revealed diagnosis (p=.023, OR=0.75), age (p=.000, OR=1.04), baseline ODI (p=.000, OR=0.96), and number of levels (p=.019, OR=0.53) as predictive variables.

CONCLUSION

Achieving a minimal symptom state, defined here as a postoperative ODI≤20 and pain NRS≤2, following fusion for lumbar degenerative conditions is more likely in an older patient with a lower baseline ODI undergoing a single level lumbar fusion for spondylolisthesis.  相似文献

BACKGROUND CONTEXT

Although 40% of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients present with chronic back pain, the pathophysiology and underlying pain mechanisms remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that development of chronic pain syndrome in AIS is associated with alterations in pain modulatory mechanisms.

PURPOSE

To identify the presence of sensitization in nociceptive pathways and to assess the efficacy of the diffuse noxious inhibitory control in patients with AIS presenting with chronic back pain.

STUDY DESIGN

Cross-sectional study.

PATIENT SAMPLE

Ninety-four patients diagnosed with AIS and chronic back pain.

OUTCOME MEASURES

Quantitative sensory testing (QST) assessed pain modulation and self-reported questionnaires were used to assess pain burden and health-related quality of life.

METHODS

Patients underwent a detailed pain assessment using a standard and validated quantitative sensory testing (QST) protocol. The measurements included mechanical detection thresholds (MDT), pain pressure threshold (PPT), heat pain threshold (HPT), heat tolerance threshold (HTT), and a conditioned pain modulation (CPM) paradigm. Altogether, these tests measured changes in regulation of the neurophysiology underlying the nociceptive processes based on the patient's pain perception. Funding was provided by The Louise and Alan Edwards Foundation and The Shriners Hospitals for Children.

RESULTS

Efficient pain inhibitory response was observed in 51.1% of patients, while 21.3% and 27.7% had sub-optimal and inefficient CPM, respectively. Temporal summation of pain was observed in 11.7% of patients. Significant correlations were observed between deformity severity and pain pressure thresholds (p=.023) and CPM (p=.017), neuropathic pain scores and pain pressure thresholds (p=.015) and temporal summation of pain (p=.047), and heat temperature threshold and pain intensity (p=.048).

CONCLUSIONS

Chronic back pain has an impact in the quality of life of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. We demonstrated a high prevalence of impaired pain modulation in this group. The association between deformity severity and somatosensory dysfunction may suggest that spinal deformity can be a trigger for abnormal neuroplastic changes in this population contributing to chronic pain syndrome.  相似文献

Background

An increase in the prevalence of obesity and longer life expectancy has resulted in an increased number of candidates over the age of 60 who are pursuing a bariatric procedure.

Objective

The aim of this study was to assess the safety of laparoscopic Roux-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) compared to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients aged 60 years or older.

Setting

University Hospital, United States

Methods

Preoperative characteristics and 30-day outcomes from the MBSAQIP 2015 were selected for all patients aged 60 years or older who underwent a LSG or LRYGB. LRYGB cases were closely matched (1:1) with LSG patients by age (±1 year), BMI (±1 kg/m2), gender, preoperative steroid or immunosuppressant use, preoperative functional health status and comorbidities including: diabetes, gastroesophageal reflux disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, venous stasis, sleep apnea and history of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Results

A 3371 matched pairs were included in the study. The mean operative time in LRYGB was significantly longer in comparison to LSG patients (122 vs 84 min., P<0.001). Patients after LRYGB had a significantly increased anastomotic leakage rate (1.01% vs 0.47 %, p = 0.011), 30-day readmission rate (6.08% vs 3.74%, p < 0.001) and 30-day reoperation rate (2.49% vs 0.89%, p < 0.001) The length of hospital stay was longer in LRYGB. Mortality and bleed rate was comparable.

Conclusions

LRYGB and LSG in patients aged 60 years or older are relatively safe in the short term with an acceptable complication rate and low mortality. However, LRYGB is more challenging and is associated with significantly increased rates of leakage events, 30-day reoperation, 30-day readmission, longer operative time and longer hospital stay.  相似文献

Background

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an important etiology of end-stage liver disease. Long-term effect of bariatric surgery in improvement of NASH is not clear.

Objectives

To validate a scoring system for predicting NASH in morbidly obese patients and using it to evaluate the long-term effect of bariatric surgery on NASH.

Setting

Tertiary referral hospital, Taiwan.

Methods

A new 5-point clinical NASH (C-NASH) score incorporating body mass index, alanine aminotransferase, and triglyceride was validated in a group of 307 bariatric patients (mean age 30.2 years, incorporating body mass index 45.0 kg/m2) with concurrent liver biopsy from 2003 to 2008. Remission of NASH in 5741 obese patients undergoing bariatric/metabolic surgery with long-term follow-up was then evaluated using the C-NASH score.

Results

Among 307 patients with liver biopsy, the prevalence of NASH was 44.0%. At baseline, the NASH group had significantly worse fasting glucose levels, triglycerides, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, gamma glutamyl transferase, and glycated hemoglobin. The diagnostic sensitivity of C-NASH score was 84.4%, and the accuracy was 68.4%. Among 5741 bariatric patients, the prevalence of high risk for NASH evaluated by C-NASH score was 40.9%. Postoperative follow-up showed good weight loss and almost complete remission of high risk for NASH up to 10 years. Patients with gastric banding had less weight loss, higher mean level of C-NASH score, and a higher incidence of high risk for NASH compared with other procedures at follow-up.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated that improvement in C-NASH score suggesting remission of NASH is durable up to 10 years in all kinds of bariatric procedures.  相似文献

Background context

It has been reported that newly developed osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) occur at a relatively high frequency after treatment. While there are many reports on possible risk factors, these have not yet been clearly established.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors for newly developed OVCFs after treatment by vertebroplasty (VP), kyphoplasty (KP), or conservative treatment.

Study design/setting

A retrospective comparative study.

Patient sample

One hundred thirty-two patients who had radiographic follow-up data for one year or longer among 356 patients who were diagnosed with OVCF and underwent VP, KP or conservative treatment between March 2007 and February 2016.

Outcome measures

All records were examined for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), rheumatoid arthritis and other medical comorbidities, osteoporosis medication, bone mineral density (BMD), history of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures, treatment methods used, level of fractures, and presence of multiple fracture sites.

Methods

Patients were divided into those who manifested new OVCF (Group A) and those who did not (Group B). For the risk factor analysis, student's t-tests and chi-square tests were used in univariate analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out on variables with a p<.1 in the univariate analysis.

Results

Newly developed OVCFs occurred in 46 of the 132 patients (34.8%). Newly developed OVCF increased significantly with factors such as average age (p=.047), low BMD T-score of the lumbar spine (p=.04) and of the femoral neck (p=.046), advanced age (>70 years) (p=.011), treatment by cement augmentation (p=.047) and low compliance with osteoporosis medication (p=.029). In multivariate regression analysis, BMD T-score of the lumbar spine (p=.009) and treatment by cement augmentation (p=.044) showed significant correlations with the occurrence of new OVCFs with a predictability of 71.4%.

Conclusion

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture patients with low BMD T-score of the lumbar spine and those who have been treated by cement augmentation have an increased risk of new OVCFs after treatment and, therefore, require especially careful observation and attention.  相似文献

Background

Circulating amino acids have been associated with both appetite and the secretion of anorexigenic hormones in healthy and obese populations. This effect has not been investigated in subjects having undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB).

Objective

To investigate the association between postprandial plasma concentrations of amino acids and the anorexigenic hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY), the orexigenic hormone ghrelin, and satiety and hunger in post-RYGB subjects.

Setting

A Dutch surgical department.

Methods

Participants after primary RYGB were studied during a Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT). Satiety and hunger were assessed every 30 minutes on visual analogue scales. Blood samples were collected at baseline, every 10 minutes during the first half hour and every 30 minutes until 210 minutes after the start. The samples were assessed for 24 amino acids and 3 gastrointestinal hormones. Incremental areas under the curve (iAUCs) were calculated. Exploratory analyses were performed in which subjects were divided into high and low responders depending on the median iAUC.

Results

42 subjects, aged 48 ± 11 (mean ± SD) years, 31 to 76 months post-RYGB and with total weight loss of 30 ± 9% completed the MMTT. Subjects with high satiety scores had more than a 25% higher net iAUC of PYY and GLP-1 and at least a 10% higher net iAUC of 10 amino acids compared to subjects with low scores (P < 0.05). The net iAUC of five of these amino acids (i.e. arginine, asparagine, histidine, serine and threonine) was more than 10% higher in subjects with high responses on GLP-1 and/or PYY (P < 0.05).

Conclusions

Certain postprandial amino acids were associated with satiety and anorexigenic hormones and could therefore play a role in appetite regulation after RYGB; either by a direct effect on satiety, indirectly through gastrointestinal hormones, or both.  相似文献

BACKGROUND CONTEXT

Anterior vertebral body osteophytes are common with degeneration but their biomechanical influence on the whole lumbar spine remains unclear.

PURPOSE

To investigate the biomechanical influence of anterior vertebral body osteophytes on the whole lumbar spine.

STUDY DESIGN/SETTING

This is a study using finite element analysis.

OUTCOME MEASURES

Intersegmental rotation, maximum Mises stress, and intradiscal pressure on the intervertebral discs of different lumbar levels were calculated.

METHODS

A finite element model of an intact lumbar spine was constructed and validated against in vitro studies. The modified models, which had different degrees of anterior vertebral body osteophyte formation (OF) in combination with disc space narrowing, were applied with physiological loadings.

RESULTS

The lumbar levels with various degrees of OF altered the kinematics of these levels, which also affected the whole lumbar spine. In flexion and lateral bending, the segment that was one level inferior to the vertebra with OF showed a trend towards increased range of motion. On the intervertebral discs that were one level inferior to the OF level, a trend towards increase in the maximum von Mises stress was found on the annulus.

CONCLUSIONS

Segments adjacent to levels with anterior vertebral body osteophytes showed increased intersegmental rotation and maximum stress. Further clinical observation should be performed to verify the results in vivo.  相似文献

Background

Both poor quality of life (QoL) and cognitive impairment are common in persons with severe obesity. Work in other patient populations show that cognitive impairment is associated with poorer QoL, though this possibility has not been examined in bariatric surgery candidates.

Objectives

We sought to determine the association between cognitive performance and QoL, both total and work related, in a sample of bariatric surgery candidates.

Setting

Three sites were used for data collection, including the Neuropsychiatric Research Institute in Fargo, North Dakota, Columbia University in New York, and Cornell University in New York.

Methods

Sixty participants from the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery project were assessed at preoperative baseline.

Results

Hierarchical regression analyses showed that poorer cognitive function was independently associated with lower total QoL and that both reported and objectively measured cognitive impairment were associated with poorer work-related QoL.

Conclusions

These preliminary findings suggest that cognitive impairment may contribute to poorer total and work-related QoL in bariatric surgery candidates. Future studies should examine whether interventions to improve cognitive function can improve QoL and other outcomes in this population.  相似文献

Background

Bariatric surgery usually results in substantial weight loss and a reduction in medical comorbidities. Many patients, as a consequence of the weight loss, subsequently evidence loose, redundant skin.

Objectives

This investigation seeks to examine the prevalence of body contouring surgery (BCS) by patients approximately 4 to 5 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Demographics, change in BMI, and psychosocial variables were also used to predict body dissatisfaction, desire for BCS, and patients who reported obtaining BCS.

Setting

The clinical sites involved in the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery project, which included 10 hospitals across the United States.

Methods

The sample comprised 1159 patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and were enrolled in the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery-2 study. Participants were surveyed using the Excessive Skin Survey and other psychosocial measures at their 4- or 5-year postoperative outcome. The participants were predominately women (80.5%), Caucasian (88.3%), and middle-aged (mean?=?46.1 yr, standard deviation?=?11.11 yr).

Results

Participants reported modest degrees of being bothered by excessive skin, primarily in their waist/abdomen, thighs, and chest/breasts body areas. Only 11.2% of the sample had undergone any BCS procedure, and a majority of those participants paid “out of pocket” for BCS. Desire for BCS and body dissatisfaction 4 to 5 years postsurgery was associated with higher depression scores and poorer quality of life scores.

Conclusions

Excessive skin is associated with poorer psychosocial functioning. Despite reporting modest levels of being bothered by excessive skin and body dissatisfaction, only a small fraction of participants underwent BCS. Cost of BCS was reported to be a primary barrier for not obtaining BCS. All rights reserved.  相似文献

Background context

Despite altered anticipatory (APAs) and compensatory postural adjustments (CPAs) being hypothesized to contribute to the onset and persistence of low back pain (LBP), results from studies comparing people with and without LBP are conflicting.

Purpose

This systematic review aimed to determine whether APAs or CPAs are altered in the presence of acute and chronic LBP.

Study design

A systematic review of studies was carried out.

Patient sample

No patient sample was required.

Outcome measures

Between group standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals for APAs ad CPAs

Methods

A comprehensive search was conducted for articles comparing people with LBP (acute or chronic) to healthy controls for the onset or amplitude of muscle activity, center of pressure (COP), or kinematic responses to expected or unexpected perturbations. Two independent reviewers extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of relevant studies. Differences between people with and without LBP were calculated as standardized mean differences, and included in a meta-analysis if outcomes were homogeneous. Otherwise, a narrative synthesis was conducted.

Results

Twenty-seven studies were included, of which the majority examined muscle onsets in response to expected and unexpected perturbations. Only two studies compared people with and without acute LBP, and results for these studies were conflicting. The results show delayed muscle onsets in response to expected and unexpected perturbations for people with chronic LBP when compared with healthy controls. No conclusive evidence for differences between people with and without chronic LBP for COP or kinematic responses.

Conclusions

There is currently no convincing evidence of differences between people with and without acute LBP for APAs or CPAs. Conversely, delayed muscle onsets in people with chronic LBP suggest APAs and CPAs are altered in this population. However, the functional relevance of these delayed muscle onsets (eg, COP and kinematics) is unknown.  相似文献

Background

Early small bowel obstruction (ESBO; within 30 d of surgery) after laparoscopic gastric bypass (LRYGB) is reported in .5% to 5.2% of primary cases, but it is associated with significant morbidity, and the treatment is not standardized.

Objectives

To review prevalence, causes, management, and outcomes of patients treated for ESBO after LRYGB.

Setting

Tertiary academic medical center.

Methods

Retrospective review to identify consecutive patients who underwent primary LRYGB and those who developed ESBO from January 2000 through June 2017. Data included demographic characteristics, co-morbidities, LRYGB technical details, and ESBO clinical presentation, location, causes, treatment, and outcomes.

Results

One thousand seven hundred seventeen patients (84.2% females) had LRYGB. Mean age and body mass index was 42.4 ± 11.1 years and 48.2 ± 7.3 kg/m2, respectively. Twenty-nine patients (1.7%) had ESBO. All patients presented with symptoms, most commonly nausea and vomiting (n?=?17), on average 4.1 ± 5.9 days postoperatively; most required reoperation (n?=?23, 79.3%) and 5 required >1 reoperation. Location of the obstruction and treatment used were the following: (1) jejuno-jejunostomy (n?=?17, 58.6%; narrowing or clot), treated with reoperation in 11; and (2) other than at the jejuno-jejunostomy (n?=?12, 41.4%; trocar site, incisional or internal hernia, adhesions, mesenteric ischemia), treated with reoperation in all. All ESBO patients had additional complications, 6 (20.1%) developed an anastomotic leak, and 2 (6.9%) died.

Conclusion

ESBO infrequently occurs after LRYGB; many causes are technique related and possibly preventable. However, it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A high index of clinical suspicion, rapid and appropriate imaging, and prompt operative intervention are recommended.  相似文献

Background

Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has grown into the most popular bariatric operation. Nevertheless, a scarcity of long-term outcomes are available.

Objectives

This study aims at evaluating the long-term percent weight loss (%WL), excess weight loss (%EWL), weight regain (WR), and co-morbidity resolution rates in a single-center cohort undergoing SG as a primary procedure, with a minimum 10-year follow-up.

Setting

University hospital, Italy.

Methods

One hundred eighty-two morbidly obese patients with body mass index (BMI) 46.6 ± 7.3 kg/m2 underwent SG. Obesity-related co-morbidities (type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux disease) were investigated. Predictors of dichotomous dependent-variable diabetes remission were computed using a binomial logistic regression.

Results

Patient retention rate was 77%. Mean %WL was 30.9, %EWL was 52.5%, and WR (≥25% maximum WL) occurred in 10.4%. Baseline BMI significantly (P?=?.001) and linearly predicted %EWL (10 yr %EWL?=?18.951?+?initial BMI × .74); the super-obese subgroup generated substantially greater WL compared with those with BMI <50 kg/m2 (%EWL 48.0 ± 18.5 versus 61.5 ± 23.2; P < .001). Type 2 diabetes remission occurred in 64.7%; 42.9% patients developed de novo gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms postoperatively (P < .0001).

Conclusions

SG generates sustained WL and co-morbidity resolution up to 10 years postoperatively. Although a notable portion of patients experience WR, mean %WL persists to exceed 30%, translating in adequate WL also in the long term. Additionally, WR does not seem to impact negatively on co-morbidity resolution. SG represents a safe and effective bariatric operation, which easily grants the possibility to proceed to revisional bariatric surgery in patients with WR or failure to WL.  相似文献

Background

For patients in whom laparoscopic adjustable gastric band has failed, conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy are both options for further surgical treatment. There are limited data comparing these 2 procedures. The National Bariatric Surgery Registry is a comprehensive United Kingdom–wide database of bariatric procedures, in which preoperative demographic characteristics and clinical outcomes are prospectively recorded.

Objectives

To compare perioperative complication rate and short-term outcomes of patients undergoing single-stage conversion of gastric band to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Setting

United Kingdom national bariatric surgery database.

Methods

From the National Bariatric Surgical Registry data set, we identified 141 patients undergoing single-stage conversion from gastric band to either gastric bypass (113) or sleeve gastrectomy (28) between 2009 and 2014, and analyzed their clinical outcomes.

Results

With respect to perioperative outcomes gastric bypass was associated with a higher incidence of readmission or reintervention postoperatively (16 versus 0; P?=?.04). There was no difference in percentage excess weight loss between sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass at final follow-up at 1 year (52.1% versus 57.1% respectively; P?=?.4).

Conclusions

Conversion from band to sleeve or bypass give comparable good early excess weight loss; however, conversion to sleeve is associated with a better perioperative safety profile.  相似文献

Background

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is considered as a first line treatment for morbid obesity around the globe. Leakage and subsequent gastric fistula is the most dreadful complication, which may lead to serious morbidity and even mortality.

Objectives

To assess the safety and efficacy of fibrin glue application in the setting of gastric fistula after LSG.

Setting

University hospital, Israel.

Methods

Twenty-four morbidly obese patients (mean age?=?42.2 yr, mean body mass index?=?42 kg/m2) developed gastric fistula after LSG. The fistula was acute in 10 patients, subacute in 9, and chronic in 5. Sixteen patients (67%) have had previous failed endoscopic interventions. Fibrin glue was applied percutaneously with fluoroscopic guidance, under endoscopic visualization. A pigtail drain was left in the distal tract to monitor and manage possible continuous leakage.

Results

There were no complications except abdominal pain in 2 patients associated with fever in 1. Both resolved within 1 to 2 days. Fistula closure was achieved in all patients but 1 (95.8%). Closure was accomplished after a single application in 9 patients (39%), 2 applications in 8, 3 applications in 3, 5 applications in 2, and 6 applications in 1. All patients were followed with a mean time of 42.3 months (range, 20–46).

Conclusions

Although in most patients there was a need for multiple applications, our experience indicates that percutaneous fluoroscopic application of Fibrin glue under endoscopic visualization proved to be a simple, tolerable, and highly effective method for the treatment of selected patients with gastric fistula after LSG.  相似文献

Background Context

Postoperative morbidity may offset the potential benefits of surgical treatment for spine metastatic disease; hence, risk factors for postoperative complications and reoperations should be taken into considerations during surgical decision-making. In addition, it remains unknown whether complications and reoperations shorten these patients' survival.

Purpose

We aimed to describe and identify factors associated with having a complication within 30 days of index surgery as well as factors associated with having a subsequent reoperation. Furthermore, we assessed the effect of 30-day complications and reoperations on the patients' postoperative survival, as well as described neurologic changes after surgery.

Study Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Patient Sample

We included 647 patients 18 years and older who had surgery for metastatic disease in the spine between January 2002 and January 2014 in one of two affiliated tertiary care centers.

Outcome Measures

Our primary outcomes were complications within 30 days after surgery and reoperations until final follow-up or death.

Methods

We used multivariate logistic regression to identify risk factors for 30-day complications and reoperations. We used the Cox regression analysis to assess the effect of postoperative complications and reoperations on survival.

Results

From 647 included patients, 205 (32%) had a complication within 30 days. The following variables were independently associated with 30-day complications: lower albumin levels (odds ratio [OR]: 0.69, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.49–0.96, p=.021), additional comorbidities (OR=1.42, 95% CI=1.00–2.01, p=.048), pathologic fracture (OR=1.41, 95% CI=0.97–2.05, p=.031), three or more spine levels operated upon (OR=1.64, 95% CI=1.02–2.64, p=.027), and combined surgical approach (OR=2.44, 95% CI=1.06–5.60, p=.036). One hundred and fifteen patients (18%) had at least one reoperation after the initial surgery; prior radiotherapy (OR=1.56, 95% CI=1.07–2.29, p=.021) to the spinal tumor was independently associated with reoperation. 30-day complications were associated with worse survival (hazard ratio [HR]=1.40, 95% CI=1.17–1.68, p<.001), and reoperation was not significantly associated with worse survival (HR=0.80, 95% CI=0.09–1.00, p=.054). Neurologic status worsened in 42 (6.7%), remained stable in 445 (71%), and improved in 140 (22%) patients after surgery.

Conclusions

Three or more spine levels operated upon and prior radiotherapy should prompt consideration of a preoperative plastic surgery consultation regarding soft tissue coverage. Furthermore, if time allows, aggressive nutritional supplementation should be considered for patient with low preoperative serum albumin levels. Surgeons should be aware of the increase in complications in patients presenting with pathologic fracture, undergoing a combined approach, and with any additional preoperative comorbidities. Importantly, 30-day complications were associated with worsened survival.  相似文献

Background

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has serious complications, such as leaks, reflux, stenosis, and kinks, which are also consequences of shortcomings in the LSG technique.

Objectives

We evaluated the feasibility and weight loss of a novel bariatric procedure, using the greater curvature as the gastric pouch for sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in dogs.

Setting

Animal house in Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University.

Methods

Five 20- to 25-kg stray mongrel male dogs were subjected to open SG using the greater curve as the gastric pouch (GCSG group). The weight was monitored at day of surgery and at postoperative weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8; weight progression was compared with a sham and a standard SG group. By the end of the follow-up period autopsy was done.

Results

The mean operative time in GCSG group was 39.6 ± 3.97 minutes. At the end of the study, dogs in the sham group had gained 8% of their preoperative weight, while the GCSG and standard SG groups lost 24.7% and 25% of their preoperative weight, respectively. At autopsy, the gastric sleeve in the GCSG group showed excellent healing with no stenotic areas, kinks, or mucosal ulcerations.

Conclusion

Greater curvature SG is technically feasible in a canine model. Larger studies with longer follow-up period will be needed to assess weight progression and resolution of the metabolic co-morbidities.  相似文献
