Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding has a role in the treatment of idiopathic intracranial hypertension. This pilot study was undertaken in a single, tertiary referral centre. Data on all patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension that have undergone laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding in our unit were collected from our prospectively maintained bariatric database. Additional information was obtained via telephone questionnaires and review of medical records. Four female patient with a mean age of 32 years (range 29–39 years) and mean pre-operative body mass index of 46.1 kg/m2 (range 38.2–54.0 kg/m2) underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding between June 2006 and July 2009. At a mean follow-up of 19.8 months all four patients reported either total resolution of headache or significant improvement in headache, with a mean improvement in pain score of 76.3/100 (range 55–95) on a analogue pain score. Mean excess weight loss at follow-up was 64.1% (range 50.1–88.2%). There were no complications or mortality in this cohort. This study suggests that laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding represents an effective and safe treatment for idiopathic intracranial hypertension associated with morbid obesity. We have shown good results both in terms of symptom resolution and weight loss, whilst avoiding alimentary tract diversion procedures in these young female patients. A randomized, controlled trial can be justified on the basis of this initial pilot study.

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?
