Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the outcomes of patients who had One-anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) revisions due to marginal ulcer (MU) perforations over a span of two years.
- Out of 22 patients analyzed, the majority were men, with a significant portion being smokers, and the most common surgical intervention was the omental patch.
- At a median follow-up of 48 months, the recurrence rate of MU was 14%, indicating that while MU perforation is a chronic issue, the revision procedures were generally effective.
Article Synopsis
- Bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS) is an effective option for treating severe obesity, particularly in patients with a BMI of 50 kg/m or higher.
- A study analyzed 263 patients who underwent BMS, comparing outcomes between primary surgeries and revisional surgeries; the results showed that revisional patients had higher leak rates and longer hospital stays.
- The mortality rate was low at 1.1% for both groups, but more research is needed to determine the best surgical techniques for patients with extremely high BMI.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 1985 SG patients, 61 (3.1%) experienced leaks; the majority had complications requiring reoperation, but 78% showed satisfactory long-term weight loss and health improvement.
- * Despite some ongoing issues, particularly with gastroesophageal reflux, the overall results suggest that SLL patients can achieve significant weight loss and resolution of other health problems post-surgery.

In many centers, microhematuria is used as a screening tool for the presence of significant abdominal injury and as an indication for further imaging. Our objective was to evaluate the role of microhematuria by dipstick as an indicator of significant abdominal injury in children.
