Manga gástrica laparoscópica. Revisión detallada / Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

Resumen La cirugía bariátrica es una rama de la medicina que se dedica al tratamiento de la obesidad y sus posibles comorbilidades a través de procedimientos quirúrgicos. Presentamos la historia y varios aspectos de la manga gástrica laparoscópica a través de 20 años. La reducción de peso se logra aquí por varios mecanismos: uno es la reducción del volumen estomacal y otro es la menor secreción de la hormona ghrelina; lo que promueve una saciedad más rápida y una reducción del apetito. Karamankos S.N. encontraron un mayor porcentaje en la apérdida del exceso de peso con manga gástrica que con bypass gástrico en un seguimiento a 1 año (69,7 ± 14,6% contra 60,5 ± 10,7%). En un metaanálisis publicado en 2011, Padwal R. y cols. concluyeron que existe una mayor disminución de índice de masa corporal en pacientes sometidos a manga gástrica que en bypass gástrico de −10,1 kg/m2 y -9 kg/m2 respectivamente.

Abstract Bariatric surgery is a medical specialty dedicated to the treatment of obesity and its comorbidities through surgical procedures. We present a detailed collection on the history and evolution of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy over the course of 20 years. The gastric sleeve induces weight loss by several mechanisms. It significantly reduces gastric chamber size and decreases the secretion of the hormone called ghrelin, thus promoting quicker satiety and decreasing appetite. Karamankos S.N. found a greater percentage of excess-weight loss with gastric sleeve than with bypass in a 1-year follow-up (69,7% ± 14,6% versus 60,5% ± 10,7%). A 2011 meta-analysis by Padwal R. et al. concluded that there is a greater decrease in body mass index in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy than with gastric bypass, -10,1 kg/m2 and -9 kg/m2, respectively.

Conservative management of esophageal perforation following obesity surgery

CONTEXT: Laparoscopic adjustable silicone gastric banding (LASGB) is one of the several surgical techniques for treating patients with morbid obesity. Erosion and perforation in the gastric chamber caused by LASGB are rare complications that have already been described. There have not yet been any reports of perforation of the middle esophagus during this procedure. CASE REPORT: The authors describe the case of a patient who presented the complication of very extensive perforation of the middle third of the esophagus following LASGB. This was successfully managed using conservative treatment.

CONTEXTO: Banda gástrica laparoscópica ajustável de silicone (LASGB) é uma das várias técnicas cirúrgicas para o tratamento de pacientes com obesidade mórbida. A erosão e a perfuração para o interior da câmara gástrica causados pela LASGB são complicações raras já descritas. Não se encontram relatos de perfuração do esôfago médio durante esse procedimento. RELATO DE CASO: Descrevemos o caso de uma paciente que apresentou como complicação, uma perfuração extensa do esôfago médio após LASGB, submetida a tratamento conservador com sucesso absoluto.
