Abstract

Background

The observation that obesity can be successfully treated by gastrointestinal surgery is a tribute to the innovative efforts by determined surgeons and the ever improving safety of general anesthesia. Yet as the body of knowledge and discovery on the root causes of human obesity accumulate, surgical approaches to treat morbid obesity are likely to change dramatically. While there is little doubt that dramatic weight loss can be achieved by surgically creating volume and absorption limitation to the reservoir and digestive functions of the gastrointestinal tract, human progress to more processed foods, less physical activity, and the pervasive public opinion that obesity is self-imposed are major obstacles to more widespread application of this approach.

Discussion

Here we provide a mechanico-physiologic analysis of current operations, their rationale and limitations, as well as a glimpse of how future interventions might develop as a result of current knowledge in the field. The future of bariatric surgery is discussed in the context of these emerging technologies and in the context of the politics of obesity.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

Radiusfraktur BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
