2 Agenda Bariatric Basics Endoscopic Repair of Surgical Complications New Endoscopic Paradigm

3 Obesity Obesity is a metabolic disease Venus Figurine 3300 BC Severe toll of comorbid illness Obesity more prevalent hunger Ruben s Bacchus ( ) Daniel Lambert Portrait C.1800 Underserved group that requires a multidisciplinary treatment approach

4 Obesity Class BMIKg/m Underweight 18 Normal Overweight Obesity I Obesity II Obesity III >40 Qualify for surgery BMI 35 with co-morbid illness BMI 40 NIH Consensus Conference,1985 NIH Clinical Guidelines pub# , Sept 1998

5 Pathophysiology Obesity is complex and multifactorial We don t understand mechanisms of action for obesity treatments Surgery likely hit multiple mechanisms

6 Diets esa and Medications edca Have Limited Efficacy 3-5% of dieters can maintain weight loss for 5 years Medication can achieve better weight loss than diet and exercise alone (3-5 kg), but with high rates of attrition (30-40%) Mann T. et al. American Psychologist 2007;62(3): Padwal RS, et al. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2003, Issue 4. Art. No.: CD004094

7 Bariatric Surgical Approaches Lower Morbidity / Lower Risk Less Effective Higher Morbidity / Higher Risk More Effective

8 Morbidity 23-77% 5-10% early PE, resp failure, bleeding, infection, ulceration, bowel obstruction, bt ti leaks 15-40% late ulcers, strictures, stasis, nutritional, hernias, and fistula Mortality % Morbidity 5-20% Pouch dilation 4% Ulceration 4% Migration 1.6% Band erosion 1.7% Port migration / abscess Mortality 0.22%

9 Gastric Bypass Revision Open Revision Early morbidity 15 to 50% Emergent re-operation in 5% Mortality 2% Similar late complication rates Laparoscopic Revision Technically challenging / arduous learning process Conversion rates as high as 48% reported More complications i requiring i early surgery vs. open revision i Requires in-patient hospital stay Brolin RE.
