Laparoscopic laparoscopic plication, control of two cases after surgery: ghrelin hormone

Abstract

In the present investigation, the levels of post-surgical ghrelin, weight loss and hemodynamic variables were determined in patients diagnosed with morbid obesity, operated for four and two years after gastric plication. Only ghrelin, a hormone produced in the stomach, has been associated with persistent onset of onset and is considered one of the major orexigenic signals in the animal models studied and in humans. Given the importance of eating disorders, especially obesity, knowledge of the mechanisms of action of these endocrine signals has become more important because it could contribute to the development of new molecules that increase and improve our therapeutic arsenal to treat Obesity. Several techniques have been developed with different results and complications. A new technique with promising results, gastric plication (invagination of the major, uncut, reversible stomach curvature) would not have the complications of mechanical suture use and would imply a reduction in costs.
