Petersen's space hernia as an immediate complication in a patient undergoing gastric bypass: a case report.

Petersen's space hernias are common internal hernias following laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery, occurring when intestinal loops protrude through the space between the mesentery of the alimentary limb and the transverse mesocolon. A 43-year-old female with a history of hypertension underwent a revisional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass due to weight regain and severe gastroesophageal reflux disease. Postoperatively, she developed abdominal pain, and an urgent diagnostic laparoscopy was performed, revealing a nearly complete herniation of the alimentary limb through Petersen's mesenteric defect.

Uncommon Complication of a Biliary Leak After Adjustable Gastric Band Removal: A Case Report.

In the context of adjustable gastric band (AGB) placements and the prevalent issue of weight regain with associated complications, revision surgery for gastric bands becomes imperative. Such revisions may encompass band removal or conversion to bariatric procedures, often accompanied by an escalated risk profile, potentially contributing to a 20% morbidity rate. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has gained prominence due to its technical simplicity, effectiveness in weight loss, and lower complication rates.

Management of gastropleural leak by video-assisted thoracoscopy after sleeve gastrectomy.

Obesity is a major public health issue with various comorbidities. Sleeve gastrectomy has become a popular treatment for obesity, but it carries the risk of complications, particularly staple line leakage. This case study focused on a 32-year-old woman with grade II obesity and hiatal hernia who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Revisional Single-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass for a Patient With Severe Protein-Calorie Malnutrition: A Case Report.

Obesity is a chronic disorder with numerous manifestations as well as pandemic occurrence on a global scale. One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is a safe and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of obesity and metabolic diseases. Revision surgery may be necessary due to postoperative issues, such as protein-calorie deficiency, weight increase, or inadequate weight loss.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in situs inversus totalis: a case report.

Unlabelled: Obesity and being overweight are defined as abnormal and excessive fat accumulation, respectively. Obesity is defined as a BMI of 30 or higher. Sleeve gastrectomy, the most commonly performed bariatric surgery worldwide, is an effective treatment for obesity and its comorbidities.

One-anastomosis gastric bypass reversal due to severe malnutrition and acute hepatic failure: a case report.

The one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is one of the most popular performed bariatric surgeries and has good long-term success for treating obesity and metabolic diseases. However, some patients can develop severe complications such as malnutrition and hepatic steatosis, which can be corrected with a reversal procedure, as seen in this case. A 20-year-old woman underwent OAGB surgery, which was converted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass 4 months after the initial procedure due to malnutrition, both surgeries were performed at a hospital in southern Mexico.

Unexpected finding of leiomyoma during laparoscopic gastric sleeve: a case report.

Obesity is a chronic disease with pandemic levels of prevalence worldwide. The most often performed bariatric procedure is sleeve gastrectomy. Although the patient's history may not indicate preoperative imaging studies, coincidental findings of unexpected pathology are not uncommon, such as leiomyoma.

Substance Use and Psychological Distress in Mexican Adults during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objectives: This observational cross-sectional study examined changes in substance use during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the Mexican population and evaluated whether depression or anxiety was associated with these new consumption patterns.

Methods: An online survey was distributed to the general population. Participants were questioned about their demographics, situation during the COVID-19 pandemic, and substance consumption patterns.

Portomesenteric venous thrombosis post gastric sleeve.

The gastric sleeve is the most performed bariatric surgery, and several studies have shown a good safety profile. Among its main postoperative complications are bleeding, leak, stenosis, reflux and to a lesser extent, portomesenteric venous thrombosis (1%). More than 80% of this entity occur after discharge.

Differences in Postoperative Pain, Nausea, and Vomiting After Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Mexican Women.

Background: Postoperative symptoms and pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) are common in women. However, there is no evidence of differences in incidence and severity among different age groups. We evaluated whether adverse postoperative symptoms were more common in younger than in older women after LC.

Anxiety and COVID-19: Coronavirus Anxiety Scale scores in medical and non-medical personnel in urban hospitals in Guadalajara. A cross-sectional survey study.

The world is facing the worst health crisis in modern history. In addition to general concerns about the effects of COVID-19 on health, hospital personnel are developing numerous mental health conditions. This cross-sectional survey study evaluated the prevalence and severity of anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic using the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) in 2136 hospital employees.

The Benefit of Perineural Injection Treatment with Dextrose for Treatment of Chondromalacia Patella in Participants Receiving Home Physical Therapy: A Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial.

Chondromalacia patella is the degeneration of articular cartilage on the posterior facet of the patella and may indicate the onset of osteoarthritis. Conservative management is the main treatment option, and surgical intervention is considered the last option in a small percentage of patients. Perineural Injection Treatment (PIT) is a recently developed treatment option that is directed adjacent to the peripheral nerves that are the source of pathology causing neurogenic inflammation and pain.

Gender Differences in Postoperative Pain, Nausea and Vomiting After Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Background: Although reports suggest that pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) may be more frequent in women, the evidence is inconsistent. The objective of this study was to investigate whether women are more sensitive to pain and PONV after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).

Methods: A total of 370 women and 275 men were included in a retrospective cohort study.
