Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS), First in Kuwait: A Case Report.

Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS) is a one of new platform used to help and achieve better outcome in using transanal approach for the treatment of rectal neoplasm. High definition camera and high tech equipment are used to perform this kind of surgery. The main benefit of using this approach is to provide the best outcome or the patient compared to the traditional transanal approach.

Postoperative Bleeding and Leakage After Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Single-Center Experience.

Background: Sleeve gastrectomy is being performed increasingly, mainly due to its low morbidity and mortality, but complications do occur. The aim of this study was to evaluate bleeding and leakage rates of primary and revisional sleeve gastrectomy in a personal series of 664 consecutive patients.

Methods: Medical charts of all patients undergoing a primary or revisional sleeve gastrectomy between August 2008 and December 2014 were reviewed retrospectively.

Revisional Laparoscopic Gastric Pouch Resizing for Inadequate Weight Loss After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Background: Weight regain due to gastric pouch dilatation after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is seen more frequently after long-term follow-up. We studied the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic pouch resizing (LPR) for dilated gastric pouch after RYGB associated with inadequate weight loss.

Methods: From 1st June 2011 to 1st September 2013, patients who underwent LPR after failed RYGB were retrospectively compared and analyzed.

Therapeutic effect of low-molecular weight heparin and incidence of lower limb deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Background: The aim of our study was to determine the therapeutic effect of low-molecular weight heparin after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Methods: We prospectively analyzed data of 39 patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass from 1093 consecutive patients who underwent bariatric procedures from May 1999 to May 2012. All patients were given 40 mg enoxaparin subcutaneously once daily preoperatively and continued for 5 days.

Sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass as revisional bariatric procedures: retrospective evaluation of outcomes.

Background: A considerable number of patients require revisional surgery after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). Studies that compared the outcomes of revisional sleeve gastrectomy (r-SG) and revisional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (r-RYGB) after failed LAGB are scarce in the literature. Our objective was to determine whether significant differences exist in outcomes between r-SG and r-RYGB after failed LAGB.

Tubulolobular carcinoma of the breast with grooved and cerebriform nuclei: failure to identify this specific subtype in a case during routine fine needle aspiration cytology and histopathological diagnosis.

Tubulolobular carcinoma (TLC) is a rare tumor of the breast in which histologic features of both tubular and lobular carcinoma are combined. We report a case of TLC, in which the specific subtype was missed at routine cytologic and histopathological examination. A 69-year-old woman presented with a right breast lump.

Revision of failed bariatric procedures to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).

Bariatric surgery for morbid obesity has been established as an effective treatment method and has been shown to be associated with resolution of co-morbidities. Despite its success, some patients may require revision because of weight regain or mechanical complications. From September 2005 to December 2009, 42 patients underwent revisional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).

Primary omental torsion: two case reports.

Objective: To describe two cases of primary omental torsion as an uncommon cause of abdominal pain.

Clinical Presentation And Intervention: Two female patients presented to our surgical service with right-sided abdominal pain. In view of their clinical presentation and workup, both patients required operative intervention.
