Does the future of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy lie in the outpatient surgery center? A retrospective study of the safety of 3162 outpatient sleeve gastrectomies.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a safe and effective procedure that can be performed as an outpatient procedure.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine whether same-day discharge LSG is safe when performed in an outpatient surgery center.

Setting: Outpatient surgery centers.

The incidence of complications associated with loop duodeno-ileostomy after single-anastomosis duodenal switch procedures among 1328 patients: a multicenter experience.

Background: The single-anastomosis duodenal switch procedure is a type of duodenal switch that involves a loop anastomosis rather than traditional Roux-en-Y reconstruction. To date, there have been no multicenter studies looking at the complications associated with post-pyloric loop reconstruction.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to report the incidence of complications associated with loop duodeno-ileostomy (DI) following single-anastomosis duodenal switch (SADS) procedures.

Stomach Intestinal Pylorus-Sparing Surgery for Morbid Obesity.

Background And Objective: The Roux-en-Y duodenal switch (RYDS) is one of the most efficient forms of bariatric surgery. However, diarrhea, malnutrition, ulcers, and internal hernias have hampered its widespread adoption. The stomach intestinal pylorus-sparing (SIPS) procedure was developed to alleviate these sequelae while retaining the same weight loss as the RYDS.

Familial thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections: three families with early-onset ascending and descending aortic dissections in women.

Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms leading to type A dissections can be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner with variable age of onset and decreased penetrance, primarily in women. Three families are described with autosomal dominant inheritance of either ascending aortic aneurysms leading to type A dissections or type B dissections, and a young age of onset of aortic dissections in both men and women. Pedigree analysis suggests that a de novo mutation is responsible for the disease in one family.
