Background: Data on rate, risk factors, and consequences of early reoperation after liver transplantation are still limited.

Background: Historically, patients presenting acutely with paraesophageal hernia and requiring urgent operation demonstrated inferior outcomes compared to patients undergoing elective repair.
Methods: A prospective IRB-approved database was used to retrospectively review 570 consecutive patients undergoing paraesophageal hernia repair between 2000 and 2016.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, Ovid, and Cochrane databases for articles reporting case series and systematic reviews in the English language on patients who underwent laparoscopic bariatric surgery and had a subsequent portal or mesenteric vein thrombosis.
