Lateral geniculate artery pseudoaneurysm after arthroscopic medial meniscectomy.

Vascular complications after arthroscopy are rare and generally present as transient paresthesia most likely due to nervous injury or vasospasm. Rare cases of genicular artery injuries can occur and generally involve the medial genicular artery due to proximity to the right arthroscopic knee hook. This case, however, represents a rare lateral inferior genicular artery injury resulting in a symptomatic pseudoaneurysm.

Marijuana use does not affect the outcomes of bariatric surgery.

Background: The decriminalization of marijuana and legalization of derived products requires investigation of their effect on healthcare-related outcomes. Unfortunately, little data are available on the impact of marijuana use on surgical outcomes. We aimed to determine the effect of marijuana use on 30-day complications and 1-year weight loss following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
