Research lines Endocrine, bariatric and metabolic surgery Research focus The endocrine, bariatric and metabolic surgery research group seeks to improve knowledge of the diseases included in this general surgery subspecialty. Therefore, knowledge of aspects of relationships with endocrine diseases like thyroid disease, adrenal and obesity are part of the interest of its members. Sub-lines: 1. Surgery for morbid obesity: 1. Longitudinal expression analyses of genes related to lipid metabolism within the liver, visceral and subcutaneous adipose, gastric mucosa and intestine tissues from morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery; Evaluation of the associated comorbidities; 2. Analysis of sexual dysfunction in patients with morbid obesity; 3. Pressure changes evaluation in gastric sleeve and its possible implications; 4. Expression of tumour growth factors in morbidly obese patients (tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-a, granulocyte-macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor, Interferon-?, interleukin (IL)-1b, IL-2, IL-4, IL -5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, vascular endothelial growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, TNF-receptors I and II (TNF-RI, TNF-RII), death receptor 5, Leptin and adiponectin), and study of their evolution with changes related to weight loss. 2. Metabolic Surgery: Fat features’ changes in morbidly obese patients. 3. Thyroid gland surgery: 1. Utility of the neuronal neuromonitorization during in thyroid surgery; 2. Cervical ultrasound done by the surgeon: does it bring something?; 3. Utility of the cervicoscopy in the pathology of thyroid and parathyroid; 4. Thyroid cancer; 5. Evaluation and clinical validity of the selective sentinel node biopsy in the diagnosis of extension of papillary thyroid cancer; 6. rTSH mRNA usefulness in the diagnosis of follicular thyroid carcinoma. 4. Parathyroid glands surgery: Analysis of the usefulness of determining PTH concentrations intra-operatively in hyperparathyroidism treatment. 5. Adrenal gland surgery: Adrenal metastases treatment (techniques and indications). 6. Robotic Surgery: 1. Applicability and safety of robotic surgery in obese pathology (study carried out in collaboration with the Colorectal Surgery Unit and the Gynecology, Urology and Pediatric Surgery Divisions, and coordinated by the HUVH CAHTA). 7. Transumbilical surgery: Transumbulical surgery in acute appendicitis (multicenter study conducted in collaboration with the Department of Surgery Faculty of Medicine of Istanbul, Turkey, and the General Surgery Division of the University Hospital of Cairo, Egypt). 8. Transumbilical cholecystectomy: Multicenter study conducted in conjunction with the Department of Surgery Faculty of Medicine of Istanbul (Turkey).
