Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the additional effect of sudden visceral fat reduction by omentectomy on Metabolic Syndrome, acute phase reactants and inflammatory mediators in patients with morbid obesity undergoing Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Although weight loss controls Metabolic Syndrome and reduces the level of inflammatory markers in patients with Morbid Obesity, patients may enjoy the benefit achieving metabolic control before significant weight loss occurs.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass/Omentectomy

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass with omentectomy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass was performed according to the following standards: Gastric pouch was constructed using the lesser curvature of the stomach. A 45mm stapler was initially fired horizontally 2 to 3 cm below the gastroesophageal junction and then 2 o 3 additional fires towards the angle of His and against a 32 French intragastric tube completed the vertical transection. Lengths of the biliopancreatic and alimentary limbs were approximately 50, and 150 cm respectively. An antecolic and antegastric gastrojejunostomy, 1.0 to 1.5 cm in size was hand sewn and the jejuno-jejunostomy was completed in a latero-lateral fashion using one fire of 45 mm lineal stapler with hand sewn closure of the common enterotomy.

Omentectomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

After laparoscopic gastric bypass, the greater omentum was divided in the middle from the free edge to the colonic margin using ultrasonic energy. Attachments between the omentum and the transverse colon were dissected. The omentum was detached from the stomach transecting the vessels between the right gastroepiploic vessels and the greater curvature of the stomach. Once the omentum was freed from the stomach, the duodenum and the lower pole of the spleen, it was extracted from the abdominal cavity in a sterile plastic bag.
