    (Universidad de Navarra, 2023-10-03) Luján-Colás, J. (Juan); Valenti, V. (Víctor); Vilallonga-Puy, R. (Ramón)
    La cirugía bariátrica se ha convertido en la opción de tratamiento cada vez más importante y popular para los pacientes con obesidad mórbida, ya que ha demostrado ser efectiva para lograr la pérdida de peso a largo plazo y mejora de las comorbilidades asociadas (hipertensión arterial -HTA-, diabetes, dislipemia, síndrome de apnea obstructiva del sueño, etc.). Sin embargo, la cirugía bariátrica es sólo el primer paso en el proceso de pérdida de peso y mejora de la calidad de vida. El seguimiento después de la cirugía es crucial para asegurar que los pacientes alcancen sus objetivos de pérdida de peso y para prevenir complicaciones a largo plazo. En este trabajo se explorará la relación entre la pérdida de peso y la mejora de la calidad de vida en pacientes después de la cirugía bariátrica, así como la importancia del adecuado seguimiento postoperatorio para la obtención de los mejores resultados después de la cirugía.

    Impact of Routine and Long-Term Follow-Up on Weight Loss after Bariatric Surgery
    (Springer, 2020) Landecho, M.F. (Manuel F.); Valenti, V. (Víctor); Rotellar, F. (Fernando); Martínez, P. (P.); Luján-Colás, J. (Juan); Álvarez-Cienfuegos, J. (Javier); Frühbeck, G. (Gema); Lapuente, F. (Fernando); Tuero, C. (Carlota); Moncada, R. (Rafael); Silva, C. (Camilo)
    Background: Weight loss after bariatric surgery varies among patients. Patients who do not complete long-term follow-up are considered to loose less weight than those with regular follow-up visits. Objective: To evaluate the influence of patients' follow-up compliance on long-term excess weight loss (%EWL) and total weight loss (%TWL) after bariatric surgery, comparing results between gastric bypass (GB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Methods: Patients with up to 5 years of follow-up data after bariatric surgery were included in this retrospective analysis. Patients were divided in 2 groups: those in group 1 who had attended every scheduled postoperative appointment and those in group 2 who had been lost to follow-up before 1 year and were later contacted by telephone. %EWL and %TWL were compared to determine the possible relationship between type of surgery and regularity of the follow-up. Results: A total of 385 patients were included. A significant difference in EWL was observed at 5 years in the SG group (78% for group 1 versus 39% for group 2; p = 0.02) and GB group (75% for group 1 versus 62% for group 2; p = 0.01). No significant differences between surgeries were found when comparing long-term EWL in group 1 patients 77% for SG versus 75% for GB. For group 2 patients, GB achieved greater EWL than SG; p = 0.005. %TWL patients in group 2 showed significant differences in all periods of study (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Bariatric surgery patients who attended all scheduled follow-up appointments experienced significantly greater long-term EWL and TWL than those who did not. GB has apparent increased benefits for weight loss in long-term follow-up when compared with SG for patients who did not attend long-term follow-up. Therefore, continued long-term follow-up of bariatric patients should be encouraged to increase postoperative weight loss results.

    Minimally invasive liver surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with portal hypertension
    (Oxford University Press, 2023) Rotellar, F. (Fernando); Almeida, A. (Ana); Luján-Colás, J. (Juan); Zozaya-Larequi, G. (Gabriel); Sangro, B. (Bruno); Blanco, N. (Nuria); Sabatella, L. (Lucas); Marti-Cruchaga, P. (Pablo); Aliseda, D. (Daniel)
    For patients with early stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver resection is a mainstay of curative treatment. Patients with a solitary tumour, Child–Pugh A cirrhosis and serum bilirubin of 1 mg/dl are considered ideal candidates for liver resection1,2 . For patients with portal hypertension, current guidelines recommend careful consideration of liver resection based on the hierarchical interaction of portal hypertension, liver function and resection extent1,3 . Open liver resection has been used in the majority of published studies on liver resection and portal hypertension. Although there is limited published experience of minimally invasive liver resection (MILR), using MILR in these patients appears to be associated with favourable outcomes4 . Particularly in patients with Child–Pugh A cirrhosis, but also in patients with more advanced cirrhosis5 , MILR offers significant advantages in the surgical treatment of HCC including reduced intraoperative bleeding, fewer complications and minimized surgical aggression, which improves recovery6,7 . If these benefits are also found in patients with portal hypertension, MILR may represent a step forward in the surgical treatment of patients with HCC and portal hypertension. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the intraoperative, postoperative and survival outcomes of MILR in patients with HCC and portal hypertension.

    Short-term outcomes of minimally invasive retromuscular ventral hernia repair using an enhanced view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) approach: systematic review and meta-analysis
    (2022) Rotellar, F. (Fernando); Almeida, A. (Ana); Luján-Colás, J. (Juan); Zozaya-Larequi, G. (Gabriel); Sanchez-Justicia, C. (C.); Blanco, N. (Nuria); Marti-Cruchaga, P. (Pablo); Aliseda, D. (Daniel)
    Background The enhanced view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) approach is becoming increasingly more widely accepted as a promising technique in the treatment of ventral hernia. However, evidence is still lacking regarding the perioperative, postoperative and long-term outcomes of this technique. The aim of this meta-analysis is to summarize the current available evidence regarding the perioperative and short-term outcomes of ventral hernia repair using eTEP. Study design A systematic search was performed of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science electronic databases to identify studies on the laparoscopic or robotic-enhanced view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) approach for the treatment of ventral hernia. A pooled meta-analysis was performed. The primary end point was focused on short-term outcomes regarding perioperative characteristics and postoperative parameters. Results A total of 13 studies were identified involving 918 patients. Minimally invasive eTEP resulted in a rate of surgical site infection of 0% [95% CI 0.0-1.0%], a rate of seroma of 5% [95% CI 2.0-8.0%] and a rate of major complications (Clavien-Dindo III-IV) of 1% [95% CI 0.0-3.0%]. The rate of intraoperative complications was 2% [95% CI 0.0-4.0%] with a conversion rate of 1.0% [95% CI 0.0-3.0%]. Mean hospital length of stay was 1.77 days [95% CI 1.21-2.24]. After a median follow-up of 6.6 months (1-24), the rate of recurrence was 1% [95% CI 0.0-1.0%]. Conclusion Minimally invasive eTEP is a safe and effective approach for ventral hernia repair, with low reported intraoperative complications and good outcomes.
