2. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postoperative_cognitive...

   It is thought that it may be caused by the body's inflammatory response to surgery, stress hormone release during surgery, ischemia, or hypoxaemia. [5] [6] Post-operative cognitive dysfunction can complicate a person's recovery from surgery, delay discharge from hospital, delay returning to work following surgery, and reduce a person's quality ...

3. Postperfusion syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postperfusion_syndrome

   Symptoms of postperfusion syndrome are subtle and include defects associated with attention, concentration, short-term memory, fine motor function, and speed of mental and motor responses. [1] Studies have shown a high incidence of neurocognitive deficit soon after surgery, but the deficits are often transient with no permanent neurological ...

4. Sleeve gastrectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeve_gastrectomy

   Sleeve gastrectomy was originally performed as a modification to another bariatric procedure, the duodenal switch, and then later as the first part of a two-stage gastric bypass operation on extremely obese patients for whom the risk of performing gastric bypass surgery was deemed too large. The initial weight loss in these patients was so ...

5. Bariatric surgery - Wikipedia

   The most common complication, especially after sleeve gastrectomy, is GERD, which may occur in up to 25% of cases. [48] Dumping syndrome (rapid emptying of undigested stomach contents) is another common complication of bariatric surgery, especially after Roux-en-Y, which is further classified into early and late dumping syndrome. [48]

   The greater curvature of the stomach (not involved with the previous closure of the stomach) is then connected to the first part of the jejunum in end-to-side anastomosis. The Billroth II always follows resection of the lower part of the stomach . The surgical procedure is called a partial gastrectomy and gastrojejunostomy.

   Adverse effects include a transient increase in serum glucose level, and poor wound healing (controversial). Medications include dexamethasone. Butyrophenones are typically administered as a single injection at the end of surgery. Adverse effects include prolongation of the QT interval on EKG. Medications include droperidol and haloperidol.

8. Gastrectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrectomy

   The alkaline environment causes the retained gastric tissue to produce acid, which may result in ulcers in a rare complication known as retained antrum syndrome. All patients lose weight after gastrectomy, although the extent of weight loss is dependent on the extent of surgery (total gastrectomy vs partial gastrectomy) and the pre-operative BMI.

9. Perioperative mortality - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perioperative_mortality

   Minor post-operative pulmonary complications include events such as atelectasis, bronchospasm, laryngospasm, and unanticipated need for supplemental oxygen therapy after the initial postoperative period.) [14] Of all patient-related risk factors, good evidence supports patients with advanced age, ASA class II or greater, functional dependence ...
