Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has increased in parallel with the obesity. This situation represents a new reality for patients with an indication for liver transplant (LT) and bariatric surgery (BS). We undertook a systematic review of BS and LT using the terms ‘liver transplant’, ‘obesity’ and ‘bariatric surgery’. The variables analyzed were number of patients, technique and timing of BS, surgical complications, follow-up and mortality. A total of 190 papers were identified and, 28 articles were discussed (6 papers with BS before a LT, 6 with both procedures simultaneously and 16 studies with BS after a LT). In the last 7 years, 22 of the 28 papers (78.6%) were published on this subject. A total of 144 patients had both procedures: 27 (18.8%) before, 42 (29.1%) simultaneously and 75 (52.1%) after. Sleeve gastrectomy was the most performed BS (121 cases—84%) followed by a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (20 cases—13.9%). The number of publications has increased substantially in recent years. The majority papers of BS after LT could be explained because of commodity of the flow of these patients. The best moment to perform BS in these patients has yet to be established.

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?
