ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Obesity is increasingly prevalent disease worldwide and bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for the most severe cases. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is still the most used technique all over the world and the laparoscopic approach has been preferred by surgeons with different approaches, propositions and techniques in performing the procedure. AIM: To report the surgical aspects of the systematization and results of the simplified laparoscopic gastric bypass (Brazilian technique). METHODS: Were included all patients undergoing this procedure from January 2001 to July 2014; were described and analyzed aspects of this technique, the systematization and complications associated with the procedure. RESULTS: A total of 12,000 patients (72% women) were included, with a mean age of 43 years (14-76) and a mean BMI of 44.5 (35-90 kg/m2). Mean total operative time was 72 minutes (36-270) and the mean hospital stay was 36 hours. There were 303 cases of gastrojejunostomy stenosis (2.5%), 370 patients had gastrointestinal bleeding (3%) with only one lap revision due to a enteroanastomosis bleeding and six revisions related to intestinal obstruction caused by impacted clots in the jejunojenunostomy. Blood transfusion was needed in 32 patients (0.3%); Petersen hernia was diagnosed in 18 (0.15%) and digestive fistula in 54 (0.45%), which led to reoperation in 43 of them (67%). The overall mortality was 0.1% (fistula with sepsis=8, pulmonary thromboembolism=3; intestinal obstruction associated with sepsis=1). CONCLUSION: The simplified laparoscopic gastric bypass is a feasible and safe option with low complication rate and easy reproducibility for education and training in bariatric surgery.

RACIONAL: A obesidade é doença de prevalência crescente no mundo todo e a cirurgia bariátrica é o tratamento mais eficaz para os graus mais severos. O bypass gástrico em Y-de-Roux ainda é a opção técnica mais utilizada no mundo e a via de acesso laparoscópica tornou-se rapidamente a opção preferencial dos cirurgiões, com diversas variações e proposições técnicas na execução do procedimento. OBJETIVO: Relatar os aspectos técnicos da sistematização cirúrgica e resultados do bypass gástrico laparoscópico simplificado (bypass brasileiro). MÉTODOS: Foram incluídos todos os pacientes submetidos a este procedimento entre janeiro de 2001 a julho de 2014. Foram descritos e analisados aspectos da sistematização técnica simplificada e as complicações associadas ao procedimento. RESULTADOS: No período, 12.000 pacientes (72% de mulheres) foram incluídos, com média de idade de 43 anos (14-76) e com IMC médio de 44,5 (35-90 kg/m2). O tempo operatório total médio foi de 72 minutos (36-270) e a permanência hospitalar média foi de 36 horas. Ocorreram 303 casos de estenose na gastroenteroanastomose (2,5%), 370 pacientes tiveram hemorragia digestiva (3%) com necessidade de reoperação de apenas um deles por sangramento da enteroanastomose e seis pacientes foram reoperados por obstrução na enteroanastomose causada por impactação de coágulos. Transfusão sanguínea foi necessária em 32 pacientes (0,3%); hérnia de Petersen foi diagnosticada em 18 (0,15%) e fístula digestiva em 54 (0,45%), o que levou à reoperação em 43 deles (67%). A mortalidade global foi de 0,1% (fístula com sepse=8; tromboembolismo pulmonar=3; obstrução intestinal com sepse associada=1). ...

BACKGROUND: The association between medical and dietetic-behavioral treatments of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has demonstrated to have variable results. The surgical treatment of T2DM is justifiable after the observation of a successful glycemic control in patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and biliopancreatic diversion. Experiments have shown an important role of the proximal intestine in glycemia decrease and diabetes control. METHODS: Twenty diabetic patients underwent laparoscopic duodenal-jejunal exclusion. The variables studied were body mass index (BMI), fasting glycemia, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and C-peptide, in the preoperative period and after 3 and 6 months. RESULTS: There was a BMI decrease up to the third month and a weight stabilization between the third and sixth months. There was a significant reduction in fasting glycemia (43.8%) and HbA1c (22.8%) up to the sixth month (p<0.001). C-peptide did not show any significant alteration until the third month, although there was a considerable increase (25%) between the third and the sixth months (p<0.001). Only two patients were on oral medication after the sixth month. CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary results have shown an important effect of the laparoscopic duodenal-jejunal exclusion in the treatment of T2DM. Studies with longer follow-up and a larger number of patients are necessary to better define the role of this new and promising procedure.
