Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of Mahony Psychological Assessment for Bariatric Surgery.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Mahony Psychological Assessment for Bariatric Surgery which can be easily administered and used as a guide by health professionals who will be included in the treatment of patients who are potential candidates for bariatric surgery.

Methods: A total of 310 patients who were admitted to health institutions for bariatric surgery in 3 different provinces of Turkey answered these questions in the Turkish translation of Mahony Psychological Assessment for Bariatric Surgery. Eating disorder examination questionnaire was also administered to the patients in addition to Mahony Psychological Assessment for Bariatric Surgery.

Multiple giant jejunal diverticulosis: A rare clinical presentation of a rarely encountered disease.

Jejunoileal diverticula have a four-fold greater risk of developing general complications and an 18-fold greater risk of perforation compared to duodenal diverticula. While resection is not preferred in asymptomatic cases, surgical intervention may be required in life-threatening conditions. In this case report, a 69-year-old male patient with multiple giant jejunal diverticulum presenting with long-standing and transient symptoms was presented.

Weight Loss, Type 2 Diabetes, and Nutrition in 355 Patients with Obesity Undergoing Sleeve Gastrectomy with Transit Bipartition: Two-Year Outcomes.

Introduction: This study examined whether 355 obese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) of varying duration and severity experienced equivalent weight loss and T2D remission following a newer sleeve gastrectomy (SG) procedure - SG with transit bipartition (SG-TB).

Methods: Primary outcomes were changes in body mass index (BMI), total weight loss (TWL), excess BMI loss (EBMIL), A1C, and diabetes medication use through 24 months.

Results: Between December 2015 and December 2019, 399 patients who underwent SG-TB reached the 2-year time point.

Testosterone Changes in Men With Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes 6 Months After Sleeve Gastrectomy With Transit Bipartition.

Background: Metabolic/bariatric surgery has been shown to increase testosterone in males with obesity. This study investigated the effect of the novel metabolic/bariatric surgery procedure, sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (SG-TB), on serum total testosterone and metabolic variable changes in men with obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Methods: In a prospective single-center cohort study, laboratory samples were analyzed preoperatively and at 6 months following SG-TB in patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2.

Sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition in a series of 883 patients with mild obesity: early effectiveness and safety outcomes.

Background: At least 25 metabolic/bariatric procedures have been proposed globally, 5 formally endorsed. A newer procedure, sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (SG + TB), appears to markedly reduce weight and improve metabolic syndrome while being relatively simple technically and protective of long-term nutritional stability. We aimed to investigate SG + TB effectiveness and safety.
