Pharmacokinetic Effects of Bariatric Surgery (January).

/in , /by

CONCLUSIONS:Bariatric surgical procedures may result in altered pharmacokinetic parameters, but the literature is lacking in sufficient quantity and quality of studies to make solid conclusions and recommendations. Until more studies of sufficient power are completed, clinicians should closely monitor these patients in the immediate and distant postsurgical period for signs of both drug efficacy and toxicity and adjust their medications as required.

Sleeve gastrectomy and the risk of leak: a systematic analysis of 4,888 patients

/in , /by

Conclusions  Sleeve gastrectomy has become an important surgical option for the treatment of the ever growing morbidly obese population.
The risk of leak is low at 2.4%. Attention to detail specifically at the esophagogastric junction cannot be stressed enough.
Careful patient selection (BMI < 50 kg/m2) and adopting the use of a 40-Fr or larger bougie may decrease the risk of leak. Vigilant follow-up during the first 30 days
is critical to avoid catastrophe, because most leaks will happen after patient discharge.
