Study on 175 patients underwent Roux-en-Y hepatico-jejunostomy on the Y ansa with subcutaneous intestinal extremities because of intrahepatic and extrahepatic stones. There was no postoperative death. Short-term outcomes were good in 64.57%, moderate in 27.2%, and poor in 8.00%. Long-term outcomes were good in 71.95%, moderate in 20.12%, and poor in 7.92%. Treatment for main stone by drain lavage was good in 25.22%, moderate in 28.00% and bad in 45.94%. Treatment for residual stone under image intensifier through intestinal head was good in 31.13%, moderate in 68.17% and bad in 0%. These findings showed that this technique is good in treating postoperative residual and recurrent stones

Gastritis cystica polyposa (GCP) is a rare lesion characterized by hyperplastic and cystic dilatation of the gastric mucous glands infiltrating into the underlying submucosa. A cumulative experience suggests that GCP represents a manifestation of a spectrum of reactive inflammatory responses to mucosal injury. The case reported herein is a GCP developed as multiple polypoid lesions with a circular arrangement in the gastric mucosae along the gastrojejunostomy site.

The radiologic findings of prolapsed gastric mucosa through gastrojejunostomy stoma after gastrectomy is very characteristic, but recurrent gastric cancer, retrograde jejunogastric intussusception, and Hofmeister defect should be differentiated from it because of their simillar postoperative upper gastrointestinal series findings.The author reports 3 cases of prolapsed gastric mucosa through gastrojejunostomy stoma after Hofmeister's gastrectomy with brief review of the literature.

Modern weight loss surgery has been transformed from the extensive mode to the precision mode. The new concept of precise laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass(PLRYGB)embodies the advanced ideas of humanistic medicine, evidence-based medicine, minimally invasive treatment and so on. The ideal goal is to minimize trauma, maximize organ protection, minimize medical cost, and obtain the best effect of weight loss. This new concept will have broad prospects and probably become the mainstream idea in the field of weight loss surgery.

A large number of clinical studies indicate that bariatric surgery leads to improvement or resolution of type 2 diabetes. The outcomes vary depending on procedure adopted. Biliopancreatic diversion(BPD) is associated with the highest cure rate(98%), followed by Roux-en-Y gastric bypass(RGBP)(80%). However, the mechanism is still unclear and controversial. The changes of many hormones after surgery are different between BPD and RGBP, especially some gastrointestinal hormones such as GLP-1 and GIP,however it cannot be fully explained by the widely known hindgut hypothesis and the foregut hypothesis. This review is intended to compare the anatomical structures and postoperative gastrointestinal hormones GLP-1 and GIP changes between the two procedures according to the latest researches in the world, and discussed different mechanisms which may take effect in improving diabetes.

Pancreatic cancer has been identified as one of the most common malignant causes of upper gastrointestinal obstruction. Most common sites of obstruction include the pyloric region and second and third portions of the duodenum. If surgical gastrojejunostomy is not a viable option, metallic stent placement may be performed either by transoral or transgastric approach. Transgastric technique is considered to be more invasive and is often employed only in failed attempts to insert a stent using transoral technique. This report presents a 70-year-old patient with pancreatic cancer involving the proximal jejunum. Although this is a rarely described location for stenting, the patient was successfully treated using transgastric technique.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Performing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients who have undergone Rouxen-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is challenging. Standard ERCP and enteroscopy-assisted ERCP are associated with limited success rates. Laparoscopy- or laparotomy-assisted ERCP yields improved efficacy rates, but with higher complication rates and costs. We present the first multicenter experience regarding the efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) or EUS. METHODS: All patients who underwent EDGE at two academic centers were included. Clinical success was defined as successful ERCP and/or EUS through the use of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS). Adverse events related to EDGE were separated from ERCP- or EUS-related complications and were defined as bleeding, stent migration, perforation, and infection. RESULTS: Sixteen patients were included in the study. Technical success was 100%. Clinical success was 90% (n=10); five patients were awaiting maturation of the fistula tract prior to ERCP or EUS, and one patient had an aborted ERCP due to perforation. One perforation occurred, which was managed endoscopically. Three patients experienced stent dislodgement; all stents were successfully repositioned or bridged with a second stent. Ten patients (62.5%) had their LAMS removed. The average weight change from LAMS insertion to removal was negative 2.85 kg. CONCLUSIONS: EDGE is an effective, minimally invasive, single-team solution to the difficulties associated with ERCP in patients with RYGB.
