Abstract

Background

Bariatric surgery has increased in popularity, with Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) being one of the most frequently performed. This leads to many cases in which the stomach is removed from routine gastroscopy access, sometimes being a major source of concern. Performing enteroscopy in these patients is technically difficult. We present our experience with 24 cases in which the aim was to access the detached stomach.

Methods

Retrospective analysis on RYGB enteroscopy procedures aimed to access the detached stomach. Data recorded: demographic parameters, indication, gas insufflation, time to bypass stomach, total procedure and recovery times, and endoscopic and pathological findings.

Results

This study included 24 patients who underwent RYGB in the previous 3–36 months. Indications were chronic abdominal pain, refractory anemia, or unexplainable weight loss. Detached stomach was accessed in 79% of patients. Access time ranged from 25 to 55 min. Recovery time for all procedures was 86.66 min on average and shorter with CO2 insufflation (42.5 min). All detached stomachs showed macroscopic gastritis; four of them were Helicobacter pylori positive. Significant findings included three patients with jejunojejunostomy stenosis and one patient with a marginal gastrojejunal ulcer, which was later diagnosed with Signet ring cell carcinoma of the proximal anastomosis.

Conclusions

We present the feasibility and importance of enteroscopy of the detached stomach and believe that this procedure should be performed more frequently. A high index of suspicion is needed for postoperative symptoms in order to exclude significant pathologies and reassure symptomatic patients that there is no abnormality in the bypassed stomach.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis 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“

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ 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?
