  • Reversal of Jejunoileal Bypass in patients with morbid obesity.
    The British journal of surgery, 1994
    Co-Authors: P. E. Anderson, T. R. E. Pilkington, J.‐c. Gazet
    Abstract:

    Jejunoileal Bypass for morbid obesity was performed on 182 patients between 1971 and 1982. At 19 years' follow-up 60 (33 per cent) have had to undergo reversal. The compelling reasons for reversal were life-threatening malnutrition, immune complex disease, renal oxalate stones, osteomalacia and severe electrolyte disturbance. All patients gained weight after reversal of the Jejunoileal Bypass; most gained all the weight they had lost. Thirty-one patients returned to grade III obesity and 14 to grade II. Twelve patients had an associated vertical gastroplasty: ten regained their previous weight and only two stayed within normal weight. Patients were generally free from Bypass-associated symptoms and complications apart from arthralgia and arthritis. This report concludes a series of articles published by the authors on Jejunoileal Bypass over the past 20 years describing the rise and fall of this surgical procedure.

  • Chronic renal failure secondary to oxalate nephropathy: a preventable complication after Jejunoileal Bypass.
    Mayo Clinic proceedings, 2001
    Co-Authors: Imran Hassan, Luis A. Juncos, Dawn S. Milliner, Juan M. Sarmiento, Michael G. Sarr
    Abstract:

    Enteric hyperoxaluria is a commonly seen adverse event after the Jejunoileal Bypass procedure. The increased concentration of urinary oxalate predisposes Bypass patients to various renal complications such as nephrolithiasis and oxalate nephropathy. If not diagnosed and appropriately treated, these complications can lead to irreversible renal damage. We describe 3 patients in whom severe renal complications developed with irreversible compromise of renal function after a Jejunoileal Bypass. Patients who undergo a Jejunoileal Bypass require lifelong follow-up with close monitoring of their renal function. Marked decline in renal function mandates prompt investigation and aggressive intervention, including reversal of the Jejunoileal Bypass if necessary. Chronic renal failure secondary to oxalate nephropathy is preventable and treatable but may require conversion of a Jejunoileal Bypass to a more current form of Bypass.
