El profesor David Nocca, es reconocido mundialmente como un experto en cirugía laparoscópica y bariátrica y fue uno de los primeros en integrar las técnicas de GLP en el manejo pre y posoperatorio del paciente obeso. Ha realizado más de 2500 cirugías bariátricas y, en 2013, desarrolló la técnica de vanguardia de la manga de Nissen; que ha disminuido significativamente la morbilidad de la gastrectomía en manga (menos reflujo gastroesofágico, menos fístula).
Desde su clínica en Montpellier, Francia; El profesor Nocca también es prolífico en el campo de la formación y la educación bariátricas, y es el fundador Presidente de la Liga Francesa Contra la Obesidad. Desde 2019 es Embajador de IFSO (Federación Internacional de Cirugía de la obesidad).

INGLÉS:

«We have been working with Tanita at our
Montpellier clinic for around 2 years. The device we
have at our clinic is the MC-980 Plus; which is Tanita’s
most precise and accurate BIA device.
Clinical accuracy and precision is particularly important with our
patients as they have elements of body composition well outside of
healthy norms, and it can be difficult to track these accurately with
lower grade devices.
We use bioimpedance analysis to help accurately diagnose and plan
the best course of action for our patients, to monitor the efficacy
of treatment, and patient adherence to post-surgical support.
The analysis provides both BMI and fat mass, which are important
indicators of the success of surgical intervention.
The major benefit of incorporating bioimpedance analysis into
my practice has been the improvement in metabolic tracking.
Bioimpedance analysis considers the patient’s post-surgical lean and
muscle mass when calculating BMR; providing a much more accurate
estimation of the efficiency of the patient’s metabolism; supporting
post-surgical nutritional guidance and long-term weight maintenance.
An unwanted side effect of bariatric surgery can be the loss of lean
and muscle mass (Maïmoun, L et al, 2017), this can have a detrimental
effect upon both the metabolic and musculoskeletal health, and
longer-term mobility of the patient. At our Montpellier clinic, we are
committed to supporting the long-term holistic health and quality
of life of our patients. We have implemented a range of postsurgical interventions to support the maintenance of lean and muscle mass, and we track the efficacy of these using the muscle mass
measurement provided by the Tanita analysis.
Another useful measurement, which is unique to the Tanita MC-980, is
the Sarcopenia Index which supports the assessment of the patient’s
longer-term risk of developing Sarcopenia and allows us to implement
preventative strategies.
Patients’ motivation to continue to work towards
improving their health is greatly improved when we can
easily share their progress with them, and the Tanita
analysis provides useful information and insights which
help support the work of my team.»
