3. Gallbladder Disease
• Gall stones Cholecystitis
• Cholecystectomy
• Cure
• No need for
Multidisciplinary Team
• No need for psychologist,
dietitian, physical therapist,
support group, multiple follow
ups etc….
4. Introduction
• The results of numerous bariatric procedures is
marked by failure.
• Patients' weight regain or
Failure to lose weight is often attributed to
Patients' failures,
• “A good operation sabotaged by a poor patient”
• Many Believe that these failures can be
ameliorated by non-surgical support by the use
of Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT).
5. Introduction
• The hypothesis of this study was that the
critical success factor for weight loss
following bariatric surgery is the operative
procedure and
• NOT patient motivation, education or use
of a multidisciplinary team (MDT).
6. Corollaries
• Corollaries to the Primary hypothesis:
• The WORSE the Bariatric Procedure;
• The MORE Need for a Multi-Disciplinary
Team
• Combination of an POOR procedure with
• Excellent multidisciplinary team will still
• Lead to POOR patient outcomes
7. Methods:
• Four surgeons offering the Mini-Gastric
Bypass WITHOUT an MDT were queried
as part of the
• First International Consensus
Conference on the Mini-Bypass / One
Anastomosis Bypass, Paris 2012
October 18-19.
• Patient results were assessed in these
7150 patients treated without MDT.
8. Results
• The results in patients with no MDT
were excellent.
• Lost More than 50% of EW (%) in 83%.
• Weight Loss "Failure" (%) 1.7%
• Excess Weight Loss (%) was 79%.
• Mean length of follow up was 5.4 years.
9. Results
• The rate of long term revision was
2.6%.
• Bowel obstruction rate was 0.3%.
• Postop GE Reflux rate (%) 5.8%,
• Marginal Ulcer rate was 2.4%.
10. Conclusions:
• The critical factor in excellent outcomes
following bariatric surgery is likely
• NOT the presence or absence of patient
motivation or a Multidisciplinary Team.
• The critical success factor in the outcome
of the surgical treatment of obesity and
metabolic diseases is
• An excellent, effective, low risk operative
procedure.
11. MDT and Cholecystectomy
• No MDT is Needed post
Cholecystectomy
• Why?
• Because the Operation Cures the
Disease
12. For Discussion
• Imagine:
• Excellent Bariatric Procedure with
• Complete/Near Complete Resolution of
• Obesity and Associated Co-Morbities
