Title: | Argon plasma coagulation and gastric bypass--a novel solution to stomal dilation. | Austin Authors: | Aly, Ahmad | Affiliation: | Austin Hospital, Melbourne, Australia | Issue Date: | 13-Nov-2008 | Publication information: | Obesity Surgery 2008; 19(6): 788-90 | Abstract: | A patulous gastro-enterostomy after gastric bypass is a common cause of poor restriction and poor weight loss. Revisional surgery is an option but may be hazardous. This case report highlights the use of argon plasma coagulation by flexible endoscopy to reduce stomal size, improve restriction, and avoid revisional surgery. | Gov't Doc #: | 19005735 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/10706 | DOI: | 10.1007/s11695-008-9763-9 | Journal: | Obesity surgery | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19005735 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adult Electrocoagulation.methods Endoscopy.methods Female Gastric Bypass.methods Gastroenterostomy.adverse effects Gastroesophageal Reflux.etiology.surgery Humans Postoperative Complications.etiology.surgery Reoperation.methods Surgical Stomas |
