- Title
The Santoro III Massive Enterectomy: How Can We Justify the Risks in Obese Adolescents?
- Authors
Inge, Thomas; Helmrath, Michael; Vierra, Mark
- Abstract
The authors assesses a paper by Velhote describing the result of the Santoro III operation for weight loss in selected obese teenagers, who underwent a sleeve gastrectomy, enterectomy, an ileal Roux limb with gastroileostomy and a jejunoilectomy. They questions the hypothesis of Velhote that any weight loss operations must be maintained for longer time in children. They believe that the operations performed on teenagers are similar to gastric bypass surgery.
