Background: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is an infrequent, yet potentially lethal, complication of bariatric surgery. The aim of this prospective, non-randomized, cohort study is to compare between laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic one-anastomosis gastric bypass (LOAGB) in terms of their early postoperative effects on portal venous flow and patency.
Methods: Forty-nine morbidly obese patients were allocated to one of 2 groups (A or B).
This retrospective cohort study aims to review our 18-year experience with early hepatic artery thrombosis (e-HAT) following living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT), as well as to assess the feasibility, efficacy and potential risks of endovascular management of e-HAT in the first 48 hours (hrs) post-LDLT. Medical records of 730 patients who underwent LDLT were retrospectively reviewed. In all cases who had developed e-HAT, treatment modalities employed and their outcomes were evaluated.

Materials And Methods: Over our 9-year study period, 120 patients underwent living-donor liver transplant.
Background: Although weight loss following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) can be substantial, weight recidivism is still a major concern. The aim of our work is to study early weight recidivism following LSG and to evaluate the role of gastric computed tomography volumetry (GCTV) in the assessment of patients experiencing early weight regain.
Methods: One-hundred and one morbidly obese patients undergoing LSG were prospectively studied.
