Purpose: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most popular primary bariatric metabolic procedure worldwide but severe complications are still reported, and there is no ideal technique to avoid them. This study analyses the impact of oversewing (OS) and gastropexy (GP) on complication rate, early dyspeptic and late de novo GERD symptoms after LSG.
Material And Method: A case-control study was conducted on patients with obesity who underwent LSG.
Article Synopsis
- - A 49-year-old patient with polycystic kidney disease was evaluated using a CT scan, which revealed a Bosniak III cyst in the left kidney.
- - A subsequent contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) assessment classified the cyst as a Bosniak IV, prompting surgical removal of the kidney.
- - The surgery confirmed the presence of papillary renal cell carcinoma, highlighting the importance of CEUS in assessing kidney conditions in patients with polycystic kidney disease.
We present a case of a 51-year-old woman referred to our department for unspecific abdominal pain. Two hypoechoic focal lesions in the retroperitoneal space and one hypoechoic mass superficially located in the mesogastrium were found at ultrasound (US) examination. All three masses were characterized as malignant by using contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), due to the rapid hyperenhancement pattern followed by rapid wash-out.
