Introduction: Marginal ulcer (MU) is a serious complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedures. This study reports the incidence, risk factors, and treatment outcomes of symptomatic and incidentally, at routine endoscopy diagnosed, MU.
Methods: All patients undergoing RYGB procedures between 2013 and 2018 at a single center were included.
Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the long-term effects of the open Latarjet procedure on patients over 40 years with recurrent shoulder dislocations, finding that age over 40 may increase the risk of dislocation arthropathy.
- Out of 39 patients (average age 48), none experienced recurrence of dislocation, but some had issues like subluxation or persistent apprehension, and overall shoulder function improved significantly.
- There were notable cases of severe dislocation arthropathy, particularly among older patients or those with poor graft positioning, indicating that while the procedure is effective for stability, age and preoperative conditions play a role in long-term outcomes.
