ABSTRACT

Background: The transumbilical route can be used to perform sleeve gastrectomies. Aim: To report the experience with transumbilical sleeve gastrectomy. Material and Methods: A prospective protocol of transumbilical sleeve gastrectomy was applied among patients with a body mass index of 36 kg/m² or less, and a distance between the xiphoid process and the umbilicus of less than 22 cm. Results: Six female patients, with a body mass index between 32.5 and 35.3 kg/m² have been operated. The operative time ranged from 90 to 170 min. An additional 5 mm trochar was required in the first two patients. The postoperative barium swallow showed a good distal passage and the absence of stenosis, residual fundus or nitrations in all patients. No patient had complications. Conclusions: Transumbilical sleeve gastrectomy is feasible among patients with a body mass index of less than 36 kg/m².


Introducción: La cirugía laparoscópica ha estado orientada los últimos años a buscar otras alternativas mínimamente invasivas de acceso abdominal. La transumbilical es una vía que ha comenzado a ser aplicada clínicamente, con o sin dispositivos de acceso único. Hemos comenzado a realizar la gastrectomía vertical laparoscópica (GVL) por vía transumbilical, en ciertos casos seleccionados. Objetivo: Evaluar la factibilidad de realizar la GVL por vía transumbilical, utilizando un dispositivo de acceso único y el resto del instrumental laparoscópico tradicional. Método: Protocolo prospectivo aplicado a pacientes que cumplan con criterios de inclusión como: ser candidato a GVL, tener IMC igual o menor a 36 kg/m², distancia entre apéndice xifoides y ombligo menor a 22 cm. El peso promedio de las pacientes operadas fue de 90,5 kg, (82,5-98), IMC promedio de 33,8 kg/m² (32,5-35,3). Se describe la técnica de inserción del dispositivo, de la gastrectomía y del manejo postoperatorio. Resultados: Se logró realizar GVL en las 6 pacientes en las que se intentó. El tiempo operatorio promedio fue de 127 min (90 a 170 min), en las dos primeras pacientes se requirió el uso de un trocar adicional de 5 mm. En todas las pacientes, la radiografía baritada de esófago, estómago y duodeno mostró buen paso a distal y ausencia de estenosis, fondo residual o filtraciones. No hubo morbilidad en este grupo. Conclusiones: La GVL es factible de realizar en pacientes portadores de obesidad menor a 36 kg/ m²de superficie corporal, usando un dispositivo de acceso único e instrumental laparoscópico tradicional.

ABSTRACT

We studied 793 patients subjected to cholecystectomy to determine a) the relative frequency of cholesterolosis and cholelithiasis b) the effect of their association on the natural history of biliary disease, c) the characteristics of gallstones associated to cholesterolosis and d) factors potentially associated to their pathogenesis. The gallbladders of all patients were examined and in 289 subjects a preoperative clinical history was taken. We observed that cholesterolosis is associated to earlier clinical manifestations of biliary disease and cholecystectomy, to a greater frequency of single calculus and to a higher weight/height index. It is concluded that there are relationships between the pathogenesis of cholesterolosis and cholelithiasis and that their association favors the development of clinical manifestations
