Safety and efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy post simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplant.

Few reports in the literature explore the efficacy of bariatric surgery in patients post simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplant (SKPT). This case report entails a patient who had SKPT because of end-stage renal disease and type I diabetes. The transplant failed, and the patient gained weight.

A case report of an early gastrocolic fistula following Roux-en Y gastric bypass, a unique and uncommon complication.

Introduction And Importance: Gastrocolic fistula (GCF) following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is uncommon. Usually it presents late with nonspecific symptoms and originates from the gastrojejunostomy (GJ). Management of such complication can be surgical, but endoscopic management can be implemented in selected patients.

Global 30-Day Morbidity and Mortality of Primary Bariatric Surgery Combined with Another Procedure: The BLEND Study.

Background: No robust data are available on the safety of primary bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS) alone compared to primary BMS combined with other procedures.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to collect a 30-day mortality and morbidity of primary BMS combined with cholecystectomy, ventral hernia repair, or hiatal hernia repair.

Setting: This is as an international, multicenter, prospective, and observational audit of patients undergoing primary BMS combined with one or more additional procedures.

Symptomatic arteriovenous malformation of the thyroid/parathyroid gland: A case report.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular lesions most commonly found in the brain and infrequently found in the head and neck. AVMs are characterized by a tangle of blood vessels called a nidus, which shunts blood from an artery directly to a draining vein. Various treatments are available, including surgical resection and endovascular embolization.

Midterm Outcome of Early Pregnancy Versus Late Pregnancy After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Background: Controversy regarding the timing of pregnancy and its implications is present in the literature.

Objective: To evaluate the midterm outcome of weight loss in women who have undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) followed by pregnancy at two different times.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 53 women who matched the inclusion criteria and included them in the analysis.

Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma with and without nodal metastasis: A comparative analysis.

Objectives: To assess the demographics and clinical factors of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) patients in Saudi Arabia and compared and analyzed the differences between the patients with and without lymph node metastasis (LNM). Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is a common thyroid cancer and is not usually detectable clinically but found incidentally after pathologic evaluation of thyroid tissue following surgery for benign thyroid disorders. However, these tumors have a significant risk of LNM.

Utility of the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology in Parotid Gland Masses: The Experience of Two Tertiary Centers.

Background The application of fine needle aspiration (FNA) in parotid masses via the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC) enhances the diagnosis of these lesions alongside radiological investigations.  Objectives Our objective was to assess the risk of malignancy, sensitivity, specificity, and false positive and negative results for each category of the MSRSGC. Additionally, we assessed the level of agreement between the FNA results using MSRSGC and post-resection histopathological diagnosis.

Primary Adrenal Angiosarcoma and its Management: A Case Report.

Primary adrenal angiosarcoma is a very rare malignancy. This is a case report of a 54-year-old female, who presented with right-sided abdominal pain. Magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen and pelvis showed a right adrenal mass with a maximum dimension of 5.

A splenic pseudocyst following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: a case report.

This is the first report of a patient presenting with a splenic pseudocyst following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). A 26-year-old male with no chronic medical illnesses who underwent LSG presented with vague abdominal pain. An abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a 15 cm well-circumscribed cyst originating from the spleen.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with adrenalectomy, feasibility, safety and outcome.

Concomitant surgery is an attractive option because of convenience. To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting concomitant laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic right adrenalectomy. A retrospective review of three patients with obesity and a unilateral adrenal mass was conducted.

Lymph node yield as a prognostic factor in clinically node negative oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.

Objectives: To determine the prognostic significance of nodal yield in patients with clinically node-negative (cN0) oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC).

Methods: This retrospective observational study included 40 patients with cN0 OCSCC who underwent treatment with at least 6 months of follow-up data from November 2012 to April 2020. We recorded the variables, including patient demographics, cancer site, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging, type of treatment, lymph node yield (LNY), histopathologic diagnosis, and recurrence.

Candy cane syndrome at jejunojejunostomy causing small bowel obstruction following revisional laparoscopic gastric bypass: A case report and review of literature.

Introduction And Importance: The literature described Candy cane syndrome (CCS) as causing various symptoms and affecting patients' quality of life. Most of the literature described this syndrome occurrence at gastrojejunostomy (GJ) anastomosis. The literature lacks data on this syndrome occurring at the jejunojejunostomy (JJ).

Risk Factors of Incidental Parathyroidecomy in Thyroid Surgery.

Background: Incidental parathyroidectomy with subsequent hypoparathyroidism and postoperative hypocalcemia is thought to be one of the common complications of thyroidectomy. Current literature reports wide discrepancy in incidence and risk factors.

Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of incidental parathyroidectomy in thyroid surgery.
