10-Year outcomes of marginal ulcer formation and impact of gastrojejunostomy technique in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Background: Marginal ulcers (MUs) are potential complications following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Our institution performs 3 different laparoscopic gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA) techniques. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of MUs between 25-mm circular stapler (CS), linear stapler (LS), and hand-sewn (HS) GJA techniques using data collected over a 10-year period.

Transretroperitoneal Pedicled Omental Flap for Coverage of Traumatic Sacral Defect: A Case Report.

The greater omentum is a reliable choice for salvage soft-tissue reconstruction. Benefits include consistent anatomy, long pedicle length, and a high concentration of lymphatic tissue that is resistant to infection. We report the case of a 46-year-old man with a complex traumatic sacral wound resulting in severe limitation of reconstructive options.

Association of socioeconomic status with 30- and 90-day readmission following open and laparoscopic hernia repair: a nationwide readmissions database analysis.

Background: Socioeconomic disparities have been associated with outcomes in many medical conditions. The association of socioeconomic status (SES) with readmissions after ventral and inguinal hernia repair has not been well studied on a national level. This study aims to evaluate the association of SES with readmission as a significant outcome in patients undergoing ventral and inguinal hernia repair.

Determinants of 90-day readmission following ventral hernia repair with and without myocutaneous flap reconstruction: a National Readmissions Database analysis.

Background: Readmission status is an important clinical component of healthcare outcomes. 90-day readmission following complex open ventral hernia repair has not been well studied with national level data. This study aims to compare readmission rates for patients undergoing standard vs.
