Temporal changes in plasma markers of oxidative stress following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in subjects with impaired glucose regulation.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective treatment for obesity and associated metabolic complications. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with increased oxidative stress. Previous studies have examined changes in plas...

Bile acids synthesis decreases after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment alternative in morbid obesity. The mechanisms contributing to these benefits remain poorly understood. Bile acids (BAs) are mediators of different regulatory functions in glucose and chole...

Abnormal calcium, 25(OH)vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone after biliopancreatic diversion; correction through elongation of the common tract and reduction of the gastric pouch.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) is a surgical technique burdened, in some instances, by clinical evidence of malabsorption and intractable diarrhoea.

Does bariatric surgery really prevent deterioration of renal function?

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Obesity is related to impaired renal function; bariatric surgery is associated with an improvement in renal function.

Effectiveness of intragastric balloon for obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis based on randomized control trials.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic, and many methods are currently used to reduce obesity. This systematic review shows the effectiveness of the intragastric balloon (IGB) method compared to the sham/diet (s/d) method.

Journal of obesity
Staged bariatric procedures in high risk patients are a common used strategy for morbid obese patients nowadays. After previous sleeve gastrectomy, surgical treatments in order to complete weight loss or comorbidities improvements or resolutions are ...

Does preoperative diabetes mellitus affect weight loss outcome after biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch?

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Preoperative type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM) has previously been reported as an independent predictor for suboptimal (≤40%) weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in patients with T2 DM compared with patients who do not have T2 DM. T...

Resident education in robotic-assisted vertical sleeve gastrectomy: outcomes and cost-analysis of 411 consecutive cases.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
