Minimizing Omental Bleeding Risk Following Sleeve Gastrectomy: Assessing the Double-line Sealing Technique.

Objective: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become the most commonly performed bariatric procedure due to its technical simplicity and effectiveness. While stapler line reinforcement has significantly reduced hemorrhagic complications, postoperative bleeding remains a concern, particularly from omentum or unidentified sources. The LigaSure device, known for sealing vessels successfully up to 7 mm in diameter, may face challenges in obese patients due to excessive omental fat.

Correlation of the Endoscopic Esophagogastric Junction Integrity with Symptomatic GERD in Patients Undergoing Work-Up for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common adverse effect after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). Identifying patients with preexisting GERD is critical for preoperative planning. The American Foregut Society (AFS) recently proposed a new endoscopic classification system for objective assessment of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) integrity, building upon the Hill classification.

An alternative combined revision of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: Cover all aspects (of failure)!

The revisional surgical techniques for managing weight regain after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass have lacked a clear gold standard. Various methods such as pouch minimising, gastroenterostomy narrowing and distalization have been described, but none have consistently achieved optimal success. This study introduces a combined revision technique that enables the reassessment of both alimentary limb and biliopancreatic limb lengths based on the individual patient's total bowel length.

Enhancing bariatric surgery safety for patients refusing blood transfusions: a specialized protocol with comprehensive technical measures.

Bariatric surgery has become a leading treatment for obesity, with techniques such as Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) and Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) demonstrating notable success in sustained weight loss and improved quality of life. Technological advancements and improved techniques have enhanced the safety of these procedures. The surgical procedures of Jehovah's Witnesses, who refuse blood transfusions as part of their beliefs, pose unique challenges and have rarely been addressed in the context of bariatric surgery.

Sleeve gastrectomy in situsinversustotalis case.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery is a procedure that has become more common in the past 10 years. Situsinversustotalis is an extremely rare condition. SG can be performed safely in SIT patients.

A Case Report of Malaria Infection Following Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

A 41-year-old woman from the Democratic Republic of the Congo underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) as a surgical treatment for obesity. Despite an unremarkable preoperative evaluation, the patient developed a fever and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels postoperatively. Physical examination findings, laboratory tests, and imaging studies ruled out surgical complications, leading to the consideration of infectious causes.

Correct Stapling Technique in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Are We Increasing the Bleeding? A Prospective Cohort Study.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become the most common bariatric surgery procedure. Bleeding is the most common complication of this surgery and mostly occurs from the staple line. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether waiting between compression and firing during the stapling phase reduces the postoperative bleeding.
