  2. Gastric bypass surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_bypass_surgery

    The gastric bypass group had an average peak alcohol breath level of 0.08%, whereas the control group had an average peak alcohol breath level of 0.05%. It took an average of 108 minutes for the gastric bypass patients group to return to an alcohol breath of zero, while it took the control group an average of 72 minutes. [journal 15]

  3. Dumping syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_syndrome

    Gastrectomy, gastric bypass surgery, diabetes, esophageal surgery, absent or inefficient pyloric sphincter, pyloric stenosis Dumping syndrome occurs when food, especially sugar, moves too quickly from the stomach to the duodenum —the first part of the small intestine—in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract .

  4. Bariatric surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bariatric_surgery

    A single protocol is not superior to the other. In one 2019 systematic review, estimated weight loss (EWL) for each surgical protocol is as follows: 56.7% for gastric bypass, 45.9% for gastric banding, 74.1% for biliopancreatic bypass +/- duodenal switch and 58.3% for sleeve gastrectomy. [28]

  5. Digestive system surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_system_surgery

    Gastric bypass: A weight-loss procedure that includes separating the stomach into an upper pouch that is smaller and a lower pouch that is bigger. Then, a section of the stomach and small intestine are skipped in favor of rearranging the small intestine to link to both pouches.

  6. ICD-10 Procedure Coding System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICD-10_Procedure_Coding_System

    The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a US system of medical classification used for procedural coding.The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency responsible for maintaining the inpatient procedure code set in the U.S., contracted with 3M Health Information Systems in 1995 to design and then develop a procedure classification system to replace Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM.

  7. Vertical banded gastroplasty surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_banded_gastropla...

    Combined restrictive and malabsorptive techniques are called gastric bypass techniques, of which Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RGB) is the most common. In this technique, staples are used to form a pouch that is connected to the small intestine , bypassing the lower stomach, the duodenum , and the first portion of the jejunum .

  8. Sleeve gastrectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeve_gastrectomy

    [8] [9] In many cases, sleeve gastrectomy is as effective as gastric bypass surgery, including improvements in glucose homeostasis before substantial weight loss has occurred. This weight-loss independent benefit is related to the decrease in gastric volume, changes in gut peptides, and expression of genes involved in glucose absorption. [10] [11]

  9. Roux-en-Y anastomosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roux-en-Y_anastomosis

    Schematic of gastric bypass using a Roux-en-Y anastomosis. The transverse colon is not shown so that the Roux-en-Y can be clearly seen. The variant seen in this image is retrocolic, retrogastric, because the distal small bowel that joins the proximal segment of stomach is behind the transverse colon and stomach.
