Abstract

One of the recent advances in bariatric surgery is the use of magnetic devices. This research paper describes magnetic liver retraction in morbidly obese patients during bariatric surgery. A descriptive, prospective and observational study was carried out, analyzing 100 patients in whom magnetic retraction was used. Mean and SD body mass index was 46.1 ± 5.09 kg/m2. The magnetic system was successfully used for liver retraction in 95% of cases; in only 5% of cases was its use not possible due to hepatomegaly and severe hepatic steatosis. According to the results, magnetic liver retraction can be safe and used in bariatric surgery, regardless of body mass index and with a low percentage of complications.

Resumen

Uno de los avances recientes en cirugía bariátrica es el uso de dispositivos magnéticos. Esta investigación reporta la retracción magnética del hígado en pacientes con obesidad mórbida durante la cirugía bariátrica. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, prospectivo y observacional, seleccionando 100 pacientes donde se utilizó la retracción hepática magnética. Entre los 100 pacientes seleccionados, la media/DE del índice de masa corporal fue de 46,1 ± 5,09 kg/m2. El sistema magnético se utilizó con éxito para la retracción hepática en el 95% de los casos, sólo en el 5% de los casos no fue posible utilizarlo debido a hepatomegalia y esteatosis hepática severa. Según los resultados, la retracción hepática magnética puede ser segura y utilizada en cirugía bariátrica independientemente del índice de masa corporal con un bajo porcentaje de complicaciones.
