Gastric remnant volvulus following gastric sleeve conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a case report.

Gastric remnant volvulus following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is rare, with only two previously reported cases. Herein, we present the first case of gastric remnant volvulus following gastric sleeve conversion to RYGB in a 32-year-old female. Management for gastric remnant volvulus has not been clearly described in the literature due to the rarity of cases; however, previously documented cases of gastric remnant volvulus following RYGB were managed with gastropexy or resection of the gastric remnant.

Hypovitaminosis D in lower extremity Joint Arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Unlabelled: The purpose of the current systematic review was to identify the prevalence of hypovitaminosis-D in LE-TJA patients; and outline the association between pre-operative hypovitaminosis and post-operative outcomes. A search of PubMed-Medline and the Cochrane-Library databases was performed for literature published before November 27th, 2019 The eighteen studies analyzed had a pooled prevalence for vitamin D insufficiency (20 - <30 ng/mL) and deficiency (<20 ng/mL) of 53.4% and 39.

Emergent Cesarean Section in a Bandl's Ring Patient: An Obstetrics and Gynecology Simulation Scenario.

Bandl's ring is a rare pathology, although its incidence is thought to be rising. Training curricula for treating this condition is almost nonexistent. Patients who present with this disease require specific management and treatment.

Etiology of Above-knee Amputations in the United States: Is Periprosthetic Joint Infection an Emerging Cause?

Background: Above-knee amputation (AKA) is a morbid procedure and is performed for a number of conditions. Although AKA is usually performed for dysvascular disease, trauma, and malignancy, AKA is also considered in patients who have failed multiple salvage attempts at treating periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of TKA. Although aggressive measures are being taken to treat PJI, the huge volume of TKAs might result in a large number of AKAs being performed for PJI in the United States.

A Comparison of Pain Management Protocols Following Total Knee Arthroplasty: Femoral Nerve Block versus Periarticular Injection of Liposomal Bupivacaine with an Adductor Canal Block.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) results in significant postoperative pain and a demanding postoperative path for recovery. This study was conducted to determine whether a femoral nerve block (FNB) or a periarticular injection of liposomal bupivacaine with an adductor canal block (LB+ACB) is superior for pain management.

Materials And Methods: A total of 557 consecutive primary TKA cases performed at a single hospital between 2010-2014 were retrospectively reviewed.
