IRCAD Webinar : Laparoscopic and Endoluminal Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery - Gastric bypass : RYGB or SLGB?

In this key lecture, Dr. Cardoso Ramos focuses on ways to prevent complications intraoperatively.
Dr. Cardoso Ramos, specialized in bariatric and metabolic surgery, exposes the most frequent causes of intraoperative and postoperative complications during bariatric surgery and highlights the importance of knowing not only the surgical technique but also the characteristics of the materials and the mechanism of action of the instruments used. He also describes the importance of adequate preoperative preparation, the maintenance of an adequate work space, along with strategies to deal with unexpected events.

In this authoritative lecture, Dr. Buchwald focuses on metabolic and bariatric surgery for type 2 diabetes.
Through a valuable account of the historical evolution of the concept of metabolic surgery, Dr. Henry Buchwald, Professor of surgery and biomedical engineering as well as Owen and Sarah Davidson Wangensteen Chair in Experimental Surgery Emeritus at the University of Minnesota shows us the important role that different surgical procedures, both bariatric and non-bariatric, have played in the treatment of diverse metabolic pathologies, especially in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, emphasizing the rich and intense research activity which has generated this progress and the future of surgery in the treatment of chronic metabolic diseases.

In this original live educational 2-hour video, Dr. Kelvin Higa describes his personal technique of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass after removal of an adjustable gastric band, highlighting the importance of proper placement of working ports, careful dissection of the esophagogastric junction, objective measurement of the total length of the small bowel, and hand-sewing of the gastrojejunal anastomosis.

In this live educational video, Dr. Vieira d’Almeida demonstrates a stepwise robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in a 51-year old female patient with a BMI of 51. After splitting of the greater omentum and stapled creation of the gastric pouch, a sutured (antecolic/antegastric) gastrojejunostomy and a jejunojejunostomy are performed. Both mesentery hernia ports are closed.

In this live educational video, Dr. Michel Vix demonstrates a stepwise laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure in a 39-year-old female patient with a BMI of 38. After stapled creation of the gastric pouch and splitting of the greater omentum, a stapled (antecolic/antegastric) gastrojejunostomy and a jejunojejunostomy are performed. Both mesentery hernia ports are closed.
