Experience with the Erlangen magnetic ring colostomy-closure system.

The Erlangen magnetic ring for colostomy closure was used in 240 patients. Forty-five rings were explanted because of infection, pressure necrosis, parastomal hernia, invagination, prolapse and stenosis. Although continence was obtained in 68% of patients, only 43% of surviving patients are still using the system. Reasons given for not using the cap were pain and weight. Increased use of deep anterior resections and the introduction of irrigation and improved stoma bags have limited the indications for the use of the magnetic ring.

The gastric bypass procedure in the treatment of morbid obesity.

Gastric bypass is an effective surgical procedure in the treatment of extreme obesity. A small gastric reservoir and a narrow anastomosis are combined to limit food intake. In patients with a mean weight of 94% above the Broca value, the normal weight is reached within 18 months after the operation. Failure to lose weight can be caused by technical errors during operation or by a continuous food intake after operation. Surgical complications are rare. The operative mortality is less than 1% and anastomotic ulcers occur in only 2% of cases. Unlike jejunoileal bypass, it causes no metabolic dysfunction.
