Mini gastric bypass with 4k technology as treatment of morbid obesity in patient with ventriculoperitoneal shunt

Abstract

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement is used to treat idiopathic intracranial pressure. Obesity is a risk factor related to shunt migration, dislodgement, and subsequent failure due to increased intraabdominal pressure. Minigastric bypass consists in both restrictive and malabsorbative mechanisms, and indications to this procedure as an efficient primary and redo procedure are increasing lately. Technology can always improve the surgical act, and 4K vision is spreading in many operating rooms. Laparoscopic approach is subject to continuous change. Ultrahigh definition is the next development in video technology, it delivers fourfold more detail than full high definition resulting in improved fine detail, increased texture, and an almost photographic emulsion of smoothness of the image. New 4K ultrahigh-definition technology might remove the current need for the use of polarised glasses. We present the laparoscopic one anastomosis gastric bypass, done with the new 4K technology, as primary bariatric procedure for morbid obese patient with VP shunt
