Bariatric Surgery in Patients with Existing Ostomy: A Preliminary Feasibility Study.
Article in Bariatric surgical practice and patient care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for weight loss and obesity-related comorbidity resolution. However, bariatric surgery is not readily offered in specific populations due to the lack of data assessing its feasibility. This study intends to evaluate bariatric surgery in patients with an existing ostomy. Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series to assess the safety of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in patients with an end ileostomy or colostomy. Patient demographics, including obesity-related comorbidities, overall health status (American Society of Anesthesiologists score), and short-term complications (up to 30 days postoperatively), were analyzed. Results: Six patients were included. The mean age was 58 years, and the mean preoperative body mass index was 41.6. Three patients had a colostomy, and three had an ileostomy. The mean time of ostomy before surgery was 11 years. Two ostomies were due to trauma, two due to inflammatory bowel disease, one due to cancer, and one due to scleroderma. Mean postoperative follow-up was 23 months. No patient had increased ostomy output or infusion center visit. One patient had an ED visit, one had a short-term complication, and one had SG conversion to RYGB. Conclusions: Bariatric surgery is technically feasible in selected patients with ileostomy/colostomy with a reasonable short-term safety profile.
