Unreported rare but serious complication: Major vascular injuries during bariatric surgery.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence, risk factors, clinical presentation, and management of major vascular injuries during bariatric surgery, with a specific focus on the role of different access methods in abdominal cavity entry.

Methods: A nationwide survey was conducted among bariatric surgeons to assess the prevalence of major vascular injuries. A questionnaire was distributed to 365 surgeons through WhatsApp groups of two national bariatric surgery societies, with 76 surgeons completing the survey.

Comparison of laparoscopic evaluation of hepatosteatosis with ultrasound findings.

Objective: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition characterized by abnormal liver function because of lipid accumulation. NAFLD can range from simple fatty liver, which is usually harmless, to a more severe condition called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which involves inflammation, liver cell damage, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Liver biopsy is considered the gold standard for diagnosing and staging hepatosteatosis, but it is an invasive and expensive procedure.

Panniculectomy with bariatric surgery in super morbid obesity patients.

Objective: Panniculitis is an inflammation of the subcutaneous fat common in patients defined as super-super obese (>60 kg/m2). Poor hygiene and skin infections are common in the super morbidly obese group due to impaired metabolism of subcutaneous fat tissue, especially at abdominal folding. In our study, we will discuss the short-term results of panniculitis that develops as a result of these, simultaneously with bariatric surgery.

Comparison of Bipolar vascular sealing and conventional back-table dissection in terms of post-renal transplant drainage and back-table preparation times.

Objective: The usage of vessel sealing devices has been gaining popularity in all surgical specialties. Post-renal transplant drain placement is a common practice among transplant surgeons. However, prolonged drainage accompanied by surgical wound complications and perirenal fluid collections is a frequent complication experienced by the recipients.

A new approach in bariatric operations: bridged mini gastric by-pass. Is rabbit model suitable for an experimental study?

Objectives: Obesity is a global health epidemic with considerable co-morbidities. The increasing demand for bariatric surgery has led to the emergence of new techniques. We modified previously described Mini Gastric By-pass(MGB) technique via leaving a bridge at the most cranial 2 cm of the fundus of the human stomach to the follow-up and treatment of the remnant stomach and duodenum.
