RESUMEN

Anastomotic leak (AL) after with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has a morbidity rate to 53% and it can be potentially lethal (mortality rate from 0.5 to 10%). In these cases, surgery is usually a challenge, so in recent years minimally invasive endoscopic treatment is gaining ground. Endoluminal vacuum therapy (EVAC) is a promising treatment that is being used in esophagogastric and rectal surgery for the management of AL. We present the case of a patient on his 5th postoperative day of bariatric surgery (RYGB) with an acute abdomen. He was diagnosed of dehiscence of gastrojejunal anastomosis and he needed urgent surgery twice. Subsequently, in control CT, a new anastomotic leak is evidenced. However, given the clinical stability of the patient, it was decided to start EVAC type ESO-Sponge® placed by endoscopy. A total of 4 changes are made every 3-4 days with a total duration of treatment of 15 days. EVAC was removed when the defect presented a 1 mm sized.

RESUMEN

Vanek's Tumor, also known as Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp (IFP), is a rare submucosal mesenchymal lesion with spindle cells and eosinophilic infiltration. Its etiology is unknown but linked to chronic cellular damage. IFP can develop in various gastrointestinal segments, most commonly in the gastric antrum (70%), small intestine (18-20%), colon, and rectum (4-7%). IFP are usually symptomless and are often found incidentally during colonoscopies or gastroscopies. Most cases can be treated with simple endoscopic resection. In rare cases where larger lesions over 1 cm are identified through endoscopic ultrasound without deeper layer involvement, submucosal endoscopic dissection can be done with good outcomes and minimal risk. Some polyps may cause dyspeptic, hemorrhagic, or obstructive symptoms based on size and location. We report a case of a 56-year-old patient with a 24-hour history of obstructive symptoms, including bowel cessation and vomiting. The patient also had abdominal pain and gradual weight loss over the past two months. Notably, the patient had a prior diagnosis of Crohn's disease 12 years ago, without treatment or continuous medical monitoring.

RESUMEN

Objetivos: Evaluar la remisión de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM-2) tras cirugía bariátrica; analizar potenciales factores condicionantes y comparar criterios de remisión nacionales y americanos. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes diabéticos sometidos a bypass gástrico en Y de Roux entre 2009-2015. Variables recogidas: edad, sexo, años de evolución de DM-2, antidiabéticos, insulina (tipo y dosis), peso e IMC, porcentaje de sobrepeso perdido, HbA1c, glucemia y evolución de la DM-2 tras cirugía según criterios nacionales y americanos. Análisis descriptivo y correlación entre ambos consensos. Resultados: Se incluyeron 106 pacientes. Al año de la intervención (criterios nacionales): remisión completa 65,9%, remisión parcial 5,5%, mejoría 18,9% y sin cambios 9,7% (a los 5 años: 68,4; 5,3; 10,5 y 15,8%, respectivamente). Según criterios ADA: remisión completa 61,5%, remisión parcial 5,3% y sin remisión 28,6% (a los 5 años, remisión completa 68,4%). Buena correlación entre ambas clasificaciones (Rho=0,974; p<0,001). HbA1c media inicial: 7,3±1,8%; al año: 5,7±1%; a 5 años: 6,3±1,2%. Resultaron marcadores de peor probabilidad de remisión: edad superior a 50 años (54,4 vs. 88,2%; p=0,001), DM-2 de más de 10 años (26,3 vs. 81,8%; p<0,001), tratamiento con insulina (31,3 vs. 87,9%; p<0,001) y HbA1c≥8% (40 vs. 77%; p=0,001). Conclusiones: En nuestro centro, la cirugía bariátrica se asocia a una elevada tasa de remisión de DM-2 en pacientes con obesidad mórbida intervenidos, existiendo una buena correlación entre los criterios nacionales y los americanos. La edad superior a 50 años, una larga evolución de la DM-2, un peor control metabólico inicial y el tratamiento previo con insulina son marcadores de peor respuesta

Objectives: To assess remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after bariatric surgery, to analyze potential conditioning factors, and to compare Spanish and American remission criteria. Material and methods: A retrospective study of diabetic patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass from 2009 to 2015. Data collected included age, sex, time since T2DM diagnosis, antidiabetic drugs, insulin (type and dose), weight and BMI, percent excess weight lost, HbA1c, blood glucose levels, and course of T2DM after surgery according to Spanish and American criteria, including a descriptive analysis and correlation between both. Results: The study sample consisted of 106 patients. Outcomes one year after surgery was as follows (Spanish criteria): complete remission 65.9%, partial remission 5.5%, improvement 18.9%, no change 9.7% (at 5 years: 68.4, 5.3, 10.5, and 15.8%, respectively). Outcomes according to ADA criteria were as follows: complete remission 61.5%, partial remission 5.3%, and no remission 28.6% (after 5 years, complete remission 68.4%). There was a good correlation between both classifications (Rho=0.974; P<.001). Mean HbA1c levels: 7.3±1.8% at baseline; 5.7±1% at one year; 6.3±1.2% at 5 years. Chance of remission was lower in patients aged over 50 years (54.4 vs. 88.2%; P=.001), with T2DM diagnosed more than 10 years before (26.3 vs. 81.8%; P<.001), on insulin treatment (31.3 vs. 87.9%; P<.001), and with HbA1c levels≥8% (40 vs. 77%; P=.001). Conclusions: At our hospital, bariatric surgery is associated to a high remission rate of T2DM in patients with morbid obesity, with a good correlation between Spanish and American criteria. Age over 50 years old, long T2DM duration, poorer baseline metabolic control, and previous insulin treatment are markers of poorer response
