Transluminal or Percutaneous Endoscopic Drainage and Debridement of Abscesses After Bariatric Surgery: a Case Series

Obesity Surgery
Arnaud LemmersOlivier Le Moine

Abstract

Since redo surgery is associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality after bariatric surgery in case of leakage, we sought to evaluate whether endoscopic drainage and debridement of collections following bariatric surgery is an efficient step-up approach to the management of these complications. From 2007 to 2011, we retrospectively studied our cohort of nine cases treated by endoscopic drainage and debridement of abdominal abscesses secondary to postbariatric surgery leaks performed via the transluminal or percutaneous route. Three patients were treated by percutaneous endoscopic debridement of abscesses knowing that their leak was already closed by other endoscopic means and that their collection did not improve despite external drain in place. Six patients were treated by transluminal endoscopic drainage to perform necrosectomy as a first-line option or after failure of improvement after endoscopic treatment. The number of sessions required ranged from 1 to 3. Most severe patients had rapid improvement of their hemodynamic and respiratory conditions. In eight of the nine patients, we were able to close the fistula by stent, fistula plugs, or a macroclip. Resolution of collections was seen in seven out of nine patient...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
