Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of laparoscopic versus open completion cholecystectomy in patients who previously had an incomplete open cholecystectomy, particularly focusing on outcomes related to residual gallstones.
- - A retrospective analysis of 80 patients found that those undergoing laparoscopic surgery experienced shorter operation times, quicker recovery, and a lower rate of wound infections compared to those who had the open procedure.
- - The research concludes that prior open surgery does not prevent the successful use of laparoscopic techniques and that laparoscopy offers superior perioperative results.
Background: Although hyperfunctioning thyroid disorders were thought to be protective against malignancy, some recent studies reported a high incidence of incidentally discovered cancer in patients with hyperfunctioning benign thyroid disorders. We performed this study to estimate the incidence and predictors of malignant thyroid disease in patients with toxic nodular goiter (TNG). .

PFUI is common in developing countries, invariably as a result of road traffic trauma. Repair is complex, and redo cases are even more challenging.

Sevuparin is a novel non-anticoagulant low molecular weight heparinoid, with anti-adhesive properties. In this study, we tested whether sevuparin could shorten vaso-occlusive crisis duration in hospitalised patients with sickle cell disease.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that different subtypes of pulmonary hypertension (PH) are linked to obesity. The current work mainly aims to assess the impact of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on PH in a cohort of obese cases.

This study aimed to determine the effect of one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) on pathological liver changes in severely obese cases with NAFLD.
Methods: The present prospective research comprised 67 subjects with morbid obesity scheduled for OAGB during the period from February 2015 to August 2018.
Purpose: Bariatric surgery can improve non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Yet data on the effect on fibrosis are insufficient and controversial. This work endeavored to evaluate the safety of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in cases that have compensated non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-related cirrhosis and its impact on fibrosis stage.

Therefore, we performed the present work to contrast the alterations in leptin, chemerin, and ghrelin levels one year after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) versus laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Methods: The present research is a prospective, comparative one that followed 100 cases for whom RYGB or LSG was done.
Background: Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has evolved into a widely accepted therapeutic option. Many different risk factors may affect early mortality after LDLT.
Objectives: Analyze risk factors that can affect early (<6 months) mortality of patients after LDLT in a single center.
Background: Chronic inflammation in adipose tissue may play a substantial role in the pathogenesis of obesity-related metabolic disorders. The present study aims to evaluate the changes in adipocytokines, bile acids, fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF-19) and pro-inflammatory cytokines 6 months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Methods: This prospective study included 75 obese patients with body mass index >35 kg/m who underwent LSG.
