Magnetic System in Bariatric and General Surgery
Sponsor: Unidad Internacional de Cirugia Bariatrica y Metabolica
Summary
Magnetic devices have been successfully used in bariatric surgery. To the date the only reported use of the magnet was for liver retraction. This study is to demonstrate the safety and viability of using the magnetic system as a second surgical assistant in bariatric surgery and not only for liver retraction.

Interventions
Magnetic Gastric Bypass
Perform a gastric bypass with the magnetic grasper to do the liver retraction, upper retraction of the stomach, upper retraction of the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis, upper retraction of the mesocolon to close petersen defect or the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis to close the intermesenteric defect also to do the retraction of the omega limb and perform the section of the limb and finish the gastric bypass
Magnetic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Perform a sleeve gastrectomy with the magnetic grasper performing the liver retraction and the upper retraction of the stomach
Revisional Bariatric Surgery
Perform liver retraction and also steps of the surgery like upper retraction of the stomach, upper retraction of the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis, upper retraction of the mesocolon to close petersen defect or the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis to close the intermesenteric defect also to do the retraction of the omega limb, upper retraction of the stomach
Nissen/Sleeve Gastrectomy with Magnetic Assistance
Perform a nissen-sleeve gastrectomy with the magnetic grasper performing the liver retraction and the upper retraction of the stomach, retraction of the stomach to close the hiatal defect and perform a nissen funduplication before do the sleeve gastrectomy
Mangetic General Surgery
Use the magnetic grasper to do the gallbladder retraction in cholecystectomies and upper retraction of the stomach to close the defect on hiatal hernia cases.
