Article Synopsis
- * A comprehensive review was conducted across major medical databases to analyze the incidence, risk factors, and management of various stoma complications, including necrosis, prolapse, and hernia, over the years 2011-2021.
- * Managing stoma-related complications typically starts with conservative care but may require surgical intervention; however, a lack of solid literature on best practices highlights the need for an international consensus to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

Introduction: Internal hernia (IH) represents the most common cause of small-bowel obstruction after laparoscopic RYGBP. The anatomic changes resulting from RYGBP, the use of laparoscopy, and the postoperative weight loss all account for the high incidence of IH after this procedure. As the symptoms may be very vague, the interpretation of the clinical picture may result difficult.

A possible concern is how to manage a chronic bile reflux when medical therapy results ineffective. Revision of the gastro-jejunal anastomosis, obtaining a Roux-en-Y reconstruction, has already been proposed, but technical details have not been elucidated yet.

Methods: A total of 394 consecutive outpatients seeking bariatric surgery were compared with 683 outpatients seeking a medical treatment. All patients were referred to the same institution.
Background: Male obesity can be associated with symptomatic alterations in sex hormones resulting in hypogonadism and impaired fertility. Surgical-induced weight loss can improve the sex hormone profile in men. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the levels of sex hormones in obese males before and after 6 months from bariatric surgery.

Aim: To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of lymph node-negative advanced gastric carcinoma patients submitted to gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy with a retrieved number of nodes greater than 15, after an actual follow-up of almost 5 years, and to evaluate outcome indicators.
