Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of gallstone formation after bariatric surgery: a multivariate analysis of risk factors comparing gastric bypass, gastric banding, and sleeve gastrectomy
Vicky Ka Ming Li,Nestor Pulido,Patricio Fajnwaks,Samuel Szomstein,Raul J. Rosenthal,Pedro Martinez-Duartez +5 more
TL;DR: Traditional risk factors for gallstone formation in the general population are not predictive of symptomatic gallstones formation after bariatric surgery and weight loss was the only postoperative factor that can help selecting patients for postoperative ultrasound surveillance and subsequent cholecystectomy once gallstones were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of routine intraoperative endoscopy in elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery: can it further avoid anastomotic failure?
Vicky Ka Ming Li,Steven D. Wexner,Nestor Pulido,Hao Wang,Hei Yin Jin,Eric G. Weiss,Juan J. Nogeuras,Dana R. Sands +7 more
TL;DR: Routine IOE for patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery with distal anastomosis can detect abnormalities at or around the anastOMosis, and this study aimed to study the usefulness of routine intraoperative endoscopy by comparing the surgical outcomes for RIOE patients with those for selective intraoperativeendoscopy (SIOE).
Journal ArticleDOI
Symptomatic gallstones after sleeve gastrectomy.
Vicky Ka Ming Li,Nestor Pulido,Pedro Martinez-Suartez,Patricio Fajnwaks,Hei Ying Jin,Samuel Szomstein,Raul J. Rosenthal +6 more
TL;DR: There was no significant difference in symptomatic or complicated gallstone disease between the patients treated with laparoscopic SG and those treated with Laparoscopic RYGBP, and routine prophylactic cholecystectomy should not be recommended for weight reduction during laparoscope SG.
