This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) compared with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in patients with obesity. Three databases (Medline, Cochrane Central, and Scopus) were searched for relevant articles published until August 12, 2024. A total of nine randomized controlled trials, including 643 patients, were selected.

- Pilonidal disease (PD) is a skin condition caused by hair-related issues in the intergluteal area, typically treated with surgery, but laser treatment (PiLaT) is emerging as a new option, especially for adolescents.
- A study was conducted at a pediatric surgical hospital involving 17 adolescents who underwent a-PiLaT between 2019 and 2023, revealing an average operative time of about 21 minutes and a follow-up period of roughly 25 months.
- Results showed a 24% complication rate and an 18% recurrence rate, with scars assessed as moderately favorable, indicating this technique is promising and should be explored further in larger studies.
Background: A multimodal conservative approach (MCA) is internationally recommended prior to bariatric surgery for the majority of patients. This research aimed to identify risk factors for therapy failure within the MCA.
Methods: This study was conducted in a German bariatric obesity centre.
Objective: Total aortic arch replacement (TAR) necessitates hypothermic circulatory arrest (CA). The frozen elephant trunk technique (FET) additionally requires commercial hybrid grafts. Herein we describe a novel modified FET technique without CA using standard grafts thanks to left axillary artery (LAxA) cannulation in patients with acute type A aortic dissection.

Parenteral nutrition (PN) via central or peripheral routes is indicated when requirements cannot be met orally or enterally. While patients undergoing major gastrointestinal (GI) surgery are at high nutritional and catabolic risk, guidance on PN is limited in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols.
