Purpose: Rapid weight loss that often occurs after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been linked to an increased risk of gallstone formation. This study aimed to investigate whether ursodeoxycholic acid could be an effective alternative treatment for gallstone dissolution, potentially offering a nonsurgical option for patients requiring gallstone removal.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 88 patients who underwent LSG and subsequently developed gallstones between 2017 and 2023.
Introduction There is insufficient data regarding trocar access site hernias (TSH) in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). This retrospective study aimed to identify the incidence and risk factors for hernia development in patients who did not undergo fascia repair at trocar entry sites. Materials and methods We retrospectively reviewed the records of 284 patients with morbid obesity who underwent LSG between January 2016 and December 2021.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes using a 30-second precompression and post-firing waiting time without extra support for the stapling line.
Design And Settings: Randomized controlled prospective study at a university hospital.
Purpose: Research on the timing and efficacy of tranexamic acid (TXA) use for perioperative bleeding in bariatric surgery is lacking. To evaluate the effects of TXA use on clinical outcomes in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) by comparing TXA use at the beginning of induction with TXA use at the end of surgery and placebo use.
Materials And Methods: Between February 2022 and August 2022, 177 patients were randomized into three groups: TXA administered at the beginning of induction (TXAI), TXA administered at the end of surgery (TXAP), and placebo groups.
