Predicting iron absorption from an effervescent iron supplement in obese patients before and after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a preliminary study.

Journal of trace elements in medicine and biology : organ of the Society for Minerals and Trace Elements (GMS)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Oral iron absorption is hampered in obese and bariatric patients, especially after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). As a result, iron deficiency, which is common in both patient groups, can be difficult to treat by oral supplements...

Laparoscopic single-anastomosis duodenal-jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADJB-SG): Surgical risk and long-term results.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Single-anastomosis duodeno-jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADJB-SG) was developed as a simplified technique of DJB-SG, but long-term data are lacking.

Surgical trainee impact on bariatric surgery safety.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are commonly performed bariatric procedures that are associated with a significant learning curve. The effect of surgeon experience on perioperative outcomes and safety is establ...

Minimally invasive, robot-assisted procedure for kidney transplantation among morbidly obese: Positive outcomes at 5 years post-transplant.

Clinical transplantation
The pre-transplant weight loss required of end-stage renal disease patients is often unachievable. Though robot-assisted procedures among extremely obese have shown minimal complication, long-term outcomes are understudied. Previously, we reported no...

Robotic Hybrid Approach for an Anterior Pancoast Tumor in a Severely Obese Patient.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
Several different surgical approaches to anterior Pancoast tumors have been proposed. The osteomuscular-sparing transmanubrial approach allows optimal exposure and control of apical chest wall structures, but it requires an additional thoracotomy to ...

Resolution of type 2 diabetes after sleeve gastrectomy: a 2-step hypothesis.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Weight loss (WL) and altered gut hormonal levels are involved in glucose homeostasis after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
