Both of them had with BMI ≥ 60 kg/m2, android built , sleep apnea syndrome and were previously treated from venous stasis disease; these are high risk factors for developing DVT (32-33) . In the series of open classical D.S , Hess and Hess (13) reported 3 (0.75%) cases of DVT and 2 (0.5%) cases of non fatal pulmonary embolism. Marceau et al. (35) reported DVT and PE in 9 (3.6%) patients. According to Podnos at al. (36), deep vein thrombosis after laparoscopic RYGB with thromboprophylaxis ranged from 0% to 1.3%, pulmonary embolism ranged from 0% to 1.1%. We recorded 1 (2.7%) case of mortality due to pulmonary embolism. Hess and Hess (13) reported also one (0.25%) case of fatal pulmonary embolism. Postoperative follow up revealed 2 (5.4%) cases that developed gallstones in the first year after surgery that required cholecystectomy. In a study on open classical D.S by Abd El-Razik et al.

It was detected that the entire lipid profile consisting of total cholesterol, LDL, TG, and HDL had a statistically significant improvement one year after surgery. The mean total cholesterol decreased significantly from 277.15±59.57mg/dl to 143.41±18.15 mg/dl (P < 0.001), the mean LDL decreased significantly from 168.27±50.07mg/dl to 98.23±37.13mg/dl (P < 0.001), the mean TG decreased significantly from 177.83±15.23 mg/dl to 102.31±13.54 mg/dl (P < 0.001), and the mean HDL increased significantly from 34.35±6.70 mg/dl to 44.89±4.59 mg/dl (P < 0.001) during this time period. Our results were higher than those reported by Prachand et al. (41) after RYGB and Sudan and Jacobs (39) after DS who stated that the rate of resolution of dyslipidemia occurred in 26.3% and 72% of patients respectively. Our results regarding the resolution of hypertriglyceridemia were the same as those of Scopinaro et al. (30)

    Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) [i.e., pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT)] is a common complication during and after a hospital admission. Further, VTE is a leading cause of major complications and death after major orthopedic surgery. To avoid the development of VTE after orthopedic surgery, it is essential to reduce the onset of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and to diagnose DVT early. It leads to early diagnosis to find a risk factor of DVT from medical history of the patient. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) reliably relieves pain and improves function in patients with end-stage arthropathy of the knee such as osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).…

    The article also explains that the use of a negative pressure system in addition to a Jackson Pratt drainage system the patient was able to have a significantly lower healing time. She also did not suffer from additional complications that typically arise in these types of wounds. Open abdominal wounds, where the organs are exposed, present as such a difficult situation due to the high risk of infection and the considerably slow healing times. These are major concerns in healthcare clinics today. In this situation, the use of negative pressure system used in conjunction with the Jackson Pratt drainage system alleviated the concern of the bacteria possibly traveling outside the fistula, as well as the potential for sepsis.…

    This may arise from prolonged bed rest, long periods of immobility, pregnancy, hormone usage, surgery and cancer (Cushman, 2007). Pulmonary embolism is a severe complication that can follow from patients who suffer from deep vein thrombosis. This form of venous thrombosis is when a fragment of the blood clot detaches and moves into the blood stream. Eventually, this fragment circulates back to the lungs, which can lead to difficulties with breathing, an increased heart rate and feeling sharp pain sensations in their chest. The annual incidence rate in the United States for venous thrombosis is approximately 1 in every 1000 adults (White, 2003).…
