Changes in Serum Lipid Levels After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Morbidly Obese Dyslipidemic and Normalipidemic Patients
(2018)
Background: This study investigated the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) performed for morbid obesity on serum lipid levels of dyslipidemic and normolipidemic patients.
Methods: 141 patients who underwent ...
Skin-to-Stone Distance Has No Impact on Outcomes of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
(2014)
Objective: Skin-to-stone distance (SSD) is a stronger factor than body mass index in predicting the success of shock wave lithotripsy. We aimed to evaluate the impact of SSD on outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy ...
Change of respiratory functions, the STOP-Bang questionnaire, and Epworth sleepiness scale after bariatric surgery
(2020)
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a highly morbid and fatal syndrome that reduces respiratory function. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep disorder in morbid obesity. Herein, we aimed to determine ...
Assessment of Carotid Artery Distensibility and Elasticity After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Prospective Study
(2020)
Purpose Although it is well known that obesity increases the risk of atherosclerosis in carotid arteries, it is not clear whether this risk changes after obesity surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ...
Obese patients require higher, but not high pneumatic tourniquet inflation pressures using a novel technique during total knee arthroplasty
(2018)
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of obesity on pneumatic tourniquet inflation pressures determined with a novel formula during total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Patients and methods: Data of 208 patients ...
