Perioperative Safety and 1-Year Outcomes of Single-Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass (SADI) vs. Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS): A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Introduction: This randomized clinical trial evaluated the clinical outcomes of two surgical interventions for obesity treatment: single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI) and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS). The SADI procedure was developed as a response to the challenges posed by the BPD/DS procedure, aiming to enhance surgical efficiency, minimize postoperative risks, and maintain therapeutic efficacy. The present study primarily focused on early complications and short-term results.

Transanal open haemorrhoidopexy: a well-tolerated, minimally invasive surgical method for haemorrhoids grade II to IV.

Background: To determine 1-year postoperative recurrence rates, postoperative pain and complication rates of transanal open haemorrhoidopexy applied also in grade IV haemorrhoids.

Methods: Single-centre retrospective observational study without control group. The primary outcome was recurrence rate after 1 year postoperatively.

Case report: rare case of mechanical bowel obstruction due to strangulation by gastric stimulator electrodes.

Background: Implantation of a gastric stimulator is a feasible surgical therapy for patients with therapy refractory gastroparesis. In addition it seems to be a promising alternative for treating morbid obesity. We present for the first time the surgical emergency of small bowel obstruction due to strangulation by gastric stimulator electrodes.
