Background: There are data on the safety of cancer surgery and the efficacy of preventive strategies on the prevention of postoperative symptomatic COVID-19 in these patients. But there is little such data for any elective surgery. The main objectives of this study were to examine the safety of bariatric surgery (BS) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to determine the efficacy of perioperative COVID-19 protective strategies on postoperative symptomatic COVID-19 rates.

Article Synopsis
- PMVT is an uncommon but increasingly recognized complication following sleeve gastrectomy, with incidence rates between 0.37% and 1%, primarily affecting middle-aged women with a high mean body mass index.
- Nearly 40% of patients had pre-existing conditions like hypertension and diabetes, while a notable percentage tested positive for hereditary thrombophilia.
- Although PMVT poses significant risks, including a 14.6% rate of acute major complications and a 3.37% mortality rate, further research is needed to improve prevention and management strategies for this condition.
Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of death after roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB); therefore, current recommendations for prophylaxis may be inadequate.
Methods: We reviewed our first 1,341 patients (controls) who underwent RYGB and weighted factors that may have contributed to PE to arrive at a pulmonary embolism risk score (PERS). We postulated that more aggressive prophylaxis in higher risk patients might have reduced the incidence of PE.
