Robotic-assisted rectosigmoid resection rectopexy with natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE): technical notes, short-term results, and functional outcome.

Purpose: Rectosigmoid resection rectopexy has been established as an effective therapy for obstructive defecation syndrome. The addition of the NOSE-technique provides an even less invasive approach avoiding minilaparotomy, but can be technically challenging. Application of a robotic platform has been proposed to facilitate the specimen extraction and fashioning of the intracorporeal anastomosis and has been proven to be effective in left-sided colectomies.

Reflux disease following primary sleeve gastrectomy: risk factors and possible causes.

One of the most severe side effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the development or aggravation of reflux disease. This study investigates the effect of SG on the development of reflux disease and the variables that may impact this development. In addition, trends in revision surgery, weight, and comorbidity are examined among patients with reflux disease and SG and those without reflux disease and SG.

Long- and short-term outcomes of bariatric surgery in 7755 patients with obesity and comorbidities.

Background: Although there is extensive literature on the effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), debate continues regarding their long-term effects on comorbidities and weight development. Therefore, both interventions continue to be the subject of scientific studies.

Methods: Weight changes, obesity-related diseases, and perioperative events are compared after both procedures.

Current status of metabolic surgery in patients with type I diabetes mellitus and obesity: a nationwide multicenter study.

Purpose: While obesity is prevalent among patients with type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM), the effects of metabolic surgery on patients with T1DM have not been adequately investigated. The study aims to investigate the perioperative outcomes and the improvement of comorbidity 1 year following metabolic surgery amongst this patient population.

Methods: In this study, we evaluated the effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on patients with T1DM and insulin resistance.

One-stage versus two-stage Roux-Y gastric bypass as redo surgery of failed adjustable gastric banding.

Introduction: The study focussed on whether a one-stage Roux-Y gastric bypass (OS-RYGB) or a two-stage RYGB (TS-RYGB) has a significant advantage in terms of perioperative risk in patients after failed adjustable gastric banding (AGB).

Methods: Data collection included patients who underwent OS-RYGB or TS-RYGB after AGB between 2005 and 2019 and whose outcomes were compared with those after primary RYGB (P-RYGB). Outcome criteria were perioperative complications, comorbidities, 30-day mortality and operating time.
