  1. Case 1: • A 45-year-old woman c/o of acute retrosternal pain with dorsal radiation • Past Medical History (+) for HTN, DMII, dyslipidemia • Past Surgical History: • 2 x C/S • had undergone LAGB(Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding) for morbid obesity at another hospital 3 years previously; current BMI is approximately 35

  3. Objectives: • Obesity epidemiology • Overview of bariatric surgeries • Complications of bariatric surgery • ED scenarios

  4. Measuring Obesity • BMI (Body Mass Index) = (body mass)/(height)2 = kg/m2 • Canadian Standards • < 18.5 = Underweight • 18.5 to 24.9 = Normal weight • 25.0 to 29.9 =Overweight  •  ≥ 30.0 = Obese

  12. Bariatric Surgery • In 2001, approximately 30,000 weight loss procedures were performed in the U.S • increased to approximately 60,000 in 2003 • increase in bariatric surgery has also been fueled in part by the application of laparoscopic techniques

  13. Vertical Banded Gastroplasty

  14. Vertical Banded Gastroplasty • purely restrictive procedure • A small pouch is made along the lesser curvature of the stomach using surgical staplers

  15. Vertical Banded Gastroplasty • purely restrictive procedure • A small pouch is made along the lesser curvature of the stomach using surgical staplers

  16. Vertical Banded Gastroplasty • purely restrictive procedure • A small pouch is made along the lesser curvature of the stomach using surgical staplers • A nonadjustable band then constricts the outlet from the pouch

  17. Vertical Banded Gastroplasty • purely restrictive procedure • A small pouch is made along the lesser curvature of the stomach using surgical staplers • A nonadjustable band then constricts the outlet from the pouch

  18. Vertical Banded Gastroplasty • Procedure relies on reduced food intake to achieve weight loss • patients tend to lose approximately 50% of excess weight during the first 2 years postprocedure (Edwards et al., 2006) • Longterm follow-up of patients has revealed that it is not an extremely effective weight loss surgery

  19. Vertical Banded Gastroplasty • patients who undergo a vertical banded gastroplasty circumvent this restrictive procedure by eating soft, high-calorie foods

  20. Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAP-BAND)

  21. LAP-BAND • the restrictive procedure of choice • adjustable silastic band that is positioned around the upper portion of the stomach • The band is connected to a port that is implanted under the skin

  22. LAP-BAND • port is similar to those used for vascular access and allows the band to be tightened or loosened, depending on clinical need • advantages over the vertical banded gastroplasty include: • No surgical stapling of the stomach (decreased risk of perforation or fistula formation) • Ability to regulate degree of restriction postoperatively • relative ease for reversibility

  23. Case 1: • A 45-year-old woman who had undergone LAGB for morbid obesity at another hospital 3 years previously • complains of acute retrosternal pain with dorsal radiation • w/u completed to r/o MI and PE (ECG, Troponin, CT-PE – all normal)

  24. Case 1: • Several hours after admission and only after insistent questioning did the patient mention the concomitant onset of severe food intolerance that she considered to be secondary to her chest pain • Any other investigations you would like to order?

  25. Case 1: • Gastrograffin swallow revealed strangulation of the stomach by the adjustable gastric banding device with dilatation of the upper gastric pouch (prolapse)

  26. Gastric Prolapse • characterized by enlargement of the upper gastric pouch due to herniation of the fundus upward through the band • Its incidence has decreased from 22% to 5% in recent years after modification in surgical technique and improved band adjustment protocols (Spivak and Faveretti, 2002) • manifests by food intolerance, vomiting, regurgitation, heartburn, and epigastric pain

  27. Gastric Prolapse • If the diagnosis is suspected (or confirmed late radiographically) what should your next step be? The band MUST be completely deflated

  28. Deflating the LAP-Band: • The access port is usually situated in the LUQ either subcutaneously or under the anterior sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle • In patients who have already lost weight, it can usually be palpated and stabilized between 3 fingers of the left hand using STERILE TECHNIQUE • A 20 GA needle on a 10 cc syring held in the right hand penetrates the port membrane at its center

  29. Deflating the LAP-Band: • Proper positioning of the needle within the port chamber is attested by the tactile feeling of the needle tip hitting the metallic chamber floor and by spontaneous outflow of fluid • The most commonly used model is the LAP-BAND 9.75 cm which can accommodate up to 5 mL of fluid (whereas other models contain as much as 9 mL) • Can be done under fluoroscopy guidance

  30. Case 1: • After the diagnosis of gastric prolapse was made with the gastrograffin study, the LAP-band was successfully deflated (4 cc was extracted from the port) • Urgent Surgical consult initiated • Would you like any other investigations?

  31. Gastric Necrosis and Erosion: • GI consult for URGENT gastroscopy because gastric necrosis and erosion has been demonstrated with gastric prolapse • In one large study, gastric erosion occurred in 6.8% of patients in isolation (Suter et al., 2004) • Patients may present with evidence of intra-abdominal sepsis caused by perforation with or without abscess, gastrocutaneous fistulas, and with ‘‘late’’ infection at the port site • Treatment for this problem consists of surgical removal and repair of the gastric perforation

  32. Complications After Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding

  33. LAP-BAND: Complications • Cumulative operative risks for the laparoscopic adjustable gastric band appear to be less than that for gastric bypass

  34. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

  35. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass • most commonly performed operation for morbid obesity in the U.S. (performed both open and laparoscopically) • both a restrictive and subclinical malabsorptive procedure

  36. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass • a small proximal gastric pouch (15-30 ml) is made and is connected to the jejunum - a variable amount of proximal small bowel is bypassed

  37. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass • a small proximal gastric pouch (15-30 ml) is made and is connected to the jejunum - a variable amount of proximal small bowel is bypassed

  38. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass • a small proximal gastric pouch (15-30 ml) is made and is connected to the jejunum - a variable amount of proximal small bowel is bypassed

  39. Is Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Effective? • Comparing Roux-en-Y to laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, it produces greater excess weight loss, 74.6% versus 40.4% at 18 months (Biertho et al., 2003) ...But is it safe?

  40. Case 2: • 45 year old, obese (BMI = 42) woman presents to the ED c/o feeling “feverish” and unwell x 12 hours • Past Medical History is (+) DMII, knee OA (bilateral) • Rou-en-Y gastric bypass performed in Medicine Hat 2 weeks earlier

  41. Case 2: • Vitals: T=37.9, HR=115, BP=110/65, RR=20 • Physical examination: very unremarkable
