Midterm outcomes of one anastomosis gastric bypass for patients with BMI < 35 kg/m from a large single center.

Background: One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is gaining more attention in patients with severe obesity and recently is used for patients with body mass index (BMI) < 35 kg/m. In this 5-year single center experience we aim to report our outcomes of using OAGB for patients with BMI < 35 kg/m.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data recorded in to our national obesity registry database.

Areas of Non-Consensus Around One Anastomosis/Mini Gastric Bypass (OAGB/MGB): A Narrative Review.

Purpose: One anastomosis/mini gastric bypass (OAGB/MGB) is now an established bariatric and metabolic surgical procedure with good outcomes. Despite two recent consensus statements around OAGB/MGB, there are some issues which are not accepted as consensus and need more long-term data and research.

Material And Methods: After identifying the topic of non-consensus from the two recent OAGB/MGB consensuses, PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane were searched for articles published by November 2020.

A Global Survey by the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) on Perceptions of Bariatric Medical Tourism (BMT) by Health Professionals: Guidelines from IFSO for BMT.

Background: Bariatric medical tourism (BMT) is a rapidly expanding industry, with over 650 million people with obesity worldwide and total number rising by over 300% between 2003 and 2014. The overall health tourism industry is worth over $400 billion/year.

Methods: International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) conducted a global survey to analyze the details of BMT and the perceptions of bariatric health care professionals (HCP) regarding BMT.

One Anastomosis/Mini Gastric Bypass (OAGB-MGB) as revisional bariatric surgery after failed primary adjustable gastric band (LAGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG): A systematic review of 1075 patients.

Background: One Anastomosis/Mini Gastric Bypass (OAGB-MGB) is rapidly gaining popularity and is now the third common bariatric procedure performed in the world. The aim of this review is to look at the role of this operation as a revisional bariatric surgery (RBS).

Methods: Literature review was performed following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) and the AMSTAR (Assessing the methodological quality of systematic reviews) guidelines.

Necrosis of the Nissen-Sleeve Gastrectomy (N-SG) Wrap.

Background: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the highest performed bariatric procedure in the world. Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is widely debated topics after SG. Nissen-Sleeve gastrectomy (N-SG) technique was reported in 2016 as an alternative solution to this problem.

A Systematic Review of One Anastomosis/Mini Gastric Bypass as a Metabolic Operation for Patients with Body Mass Index ≤ 35 kg/m.

Background: One anastomosis/mini gastric bypass (OAGB-MGB) is now an established bariatric procedure for patients suffering from obesity. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the role of this operation in patients with body mass index (BMI) ≤ 35 kg/m.

Methods: A literature review was performed as per preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Gastro-Colic Fistula After Sleeve Gastrectomy Leak: Our Experience with this Rare Complication.

Background: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is one of the commonest bariatric procedure performed worldwide (Asian Journal of Endoscopic Surgery 7:314-6, 2014). Leaks reported in 1 to 7% of cases are difficult to manage after SG. Leaks can be graded into acute (within 7 days), early (within 1-6 weeks), late (after 6 weeks) and chronic (after 12 weeks) (Asian Journal of Endoscopic Surgery 7:314-6, 2014).

One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass in Morbidly Obese Patients with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m: a Systematic Review Comparing It with Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Background: To explore the role of one anastomosis (Mini) gastric bypass (OAGB) for the super-obese patients.

Method: Literature review was performed in March 2019 as per PRISMA guidelines.

Results: A total of 318 patients were identified.

Primary Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Systematic Review.

We aim to investigate any advantages of primary banded sleeve gastrectomy (BSG) over laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). A literature search was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. There were 236 patients with the mean age of 45.

One Anastomosis (Mini) Gastric Bypass Is Now an Established Bariatric Procedure: a Systematic Review of 12,807 Patients.

The One Anastomosis (Mini) Gastric Bypass is rapidly gaining acceptance. This review reports cumulative results of 12,807 procedures in obese patients with a mean age of 41.18 years and BMI of 46.

Conversion of Sleeve Gastrectomy to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is Effective for Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease but not for Further Weight Loss.

Introduction: Inadequate weight loss (IWL)/weight regain (WR) and gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), unresponsive to medical management, are two most common indications for conversion of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). This study reports detailed outcomes of conversion of SG to RYGB for these two indications separately.

Methods: We interrogated our prospectively maintained database to identify patients who underwent a conversion of their SG to RYGB in our unit.

Prediction of major adverse cardiac events in vascular surgery: are cardiac risk scores of any practical value?

Background: Disease-specific preoperative scoring systems are often used to predict postoperative cardiac complications. We retrospectively evaluated the accuracy of 2 cardiac risk scores in the prediction of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after vascular surgery.

Methods: Consecutive procedures were ''scored'' according to the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) and the Eagle criteria.

Autologous basilic vein for in situ replacement of infected prosthetic vascular grafts: initial experience.

Successful treatment of prosthetic vascular infection usually requires graft removal with or without replacement. A variety of materials have been used for in situ replacement, with femoral vein being the preferred autologous conduit in the literature for the aortoiliac segment. We present three cases of prosthetic infection treated successfully by in situ replacement with autologous basilic vein harvested from the upper arm.

Epidural hematoma formation following trivial head trauma in a child with osteogenesis imperfecta. Case report.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) represents a rare heterogeneous group of inherited disorders characterized by low bone mass, increased bone fragility, and other connective tissue manifestations. This condition can contribute to dramatic complications after a seemingly insignificant injury. A large epidural hematoma that developed in a child with OI after a trivial fall highlights the importance of close monitoring in these patients.
