Changes in Symptoms and General Well-being After Reversal of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Questionnaire Survey.

Purpose: After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), few patients develop severe complications, which ultimately may require reversal of RYGB. We aimed to examine the effect of reversal of RYGB on symptoms and well-being.

Materials And Methods: Via contact to medical and surgical departments treating patients with RYGB, we identified 18 patients, who had undergone reversal, 2009-2019.

Long-term outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in Denmark from 2010 to 2016: a nationwide cohort study.

Background: Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment of morbid obesity and obesity-related conditions. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become increasingly popular in Denmark and worldwide.

Objective: To evaluate long-term outcomes including postoperative complications after LSG.

Effect and safety of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty for treating obesity - a systematic review.

Introduction: Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) represents a novel endoscopic bariatric procedure. It is performed with an endoscope equipped with a suturing device; sutures are placed so that they create a tube-shaped stomach, thereby facilitating weight loss. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review evaluating the effectiveness and safety of ESG for treatment of obesity.

[Life-threatening malnutrition after a laparoscopic gastric bypass operation reverting the gastrointestinal tract into normal anatomy].

We present a case report of a woman who had repeating episodes of severe life-threatening malnutrition four years after a laparoscopic gastric bypass operation for severe overweight. Despite several normal examinations her condition remained unstable. She was offered a laparoscopic operation reverting the stomach and small intestine into normal anatomy and it was performed without complications so the condition resolved.

[Recruiting medical students for the surgical education].

For a longer period the interest for surgical education in Denmark has been low measured in the number of junior doctors choosing a surgical career. The Danish Surgical Society has reviewed the published data describing the factors involved when selecting a surgical career.

[Treatment of pilonidal sinus].

Surgical treatment of pilonidal sinus often leads to significant pain, extended period of wound healing and convalescence, and carries a substantial risk of recurrence. Based on extant surgical evidence, the present review suggests a differential step-up surgical strategy to optimise surgical outcome in the treatment of pilonidal sinus.
