Perforated marginal ulceration in the setting of single anastomosis duodeno-ileal switch (SADI-S) with conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and literature review.

The single anastomosis duodenal-ileal switch (SADI-S) has become a safe alternative to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in the treatment for morbid obesity. A known complication after bariatric surgery is the development of marginal ulceration. The current literature demonstrates an overwhelmingly low incidence of ulceration in patients who underwent SADI-S.

Utilizing T-Line Mesh for Periumbilical Hernia Repair: Evaluation of Short-term Outcomes.

Background: Abdominal periumbilical hernias are prevalent within the adult population. When symptomatic, quality of life may be affected. This case series of 10 patients evaluates the short-term outcomes of using the T-Line mesh in periumbilical hernia repair.

Enhancing biliary structure identification using percutaneous cholecystostomy drain delivery of indocyanine green: a glowing two case review.

The use of indocyanine green for fluorescent cholangiography in patients with cholecystitis initially treated with percutaneous cholecystostomy drainage catheters was described in this two case series. Two patients underwent robotic assisted cholecystectomy with fluorescent cholangiography and indocyanine green through percutaneous cholecystostomy drainage catheters. The patients were diagnosed with acute cholecystitis.

Prediction of Lu-DOTATATE Therapy Outcomes in Neuroendocrine Tumor Patients Using Semi-Automatic Tumor Delineation on Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT.

Background: Treatment of metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NET) with Lu-DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) results in favorable response only in a subset of patients. We investigated the prognostic value of quantitative pre-treatment semi-automatic Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT analysis in NET patients treated with PRRT.

Methods: The medical records of 94 NET patients who received at least one cycle of PRRT at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed.

A novel presentation of alcohol-induced gastric necrosis: a case report.

Acute gastric necrosis is a rare condition with unknown pathogenesis. Existing literature describes acute esophageal necrosis as a result of excessive alcohol use; however, it is more difficult to find literature on alcohol-induced gastric necrosis. This condition may present with epigastric tenderness, vomiting or diarrhea with findings of pneumoperitoneum, gastric pneumatosis and portal venous gas on computed tomography.
