Laparoscopic Roux-En-Y gastric bypass versus one anastomosis (loop) gastric bypass for obesity: A prospective comparative study of weight loss and complications.

Introduction: Most Bariatric units perform Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) and One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) for weight loss and metabolic purposes with satisfactory results and low complication profile.

Objectives: This study compares LRYGB and OAGB outcomes in a high volume single bariatric unit.

Methods: Data was collected prospectively and analysed retrospectively for all LRYGB and OAGB performed between Jan 2014 to Dec 2016.

A retrospective comparison of early results of conversion of failed gastric banding to sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.

Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is associated with high long-term failure rates requiring conversion to alternative procedures. Operative conversion to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric (LRYGB) bypass is associated with higher complication rates than primary procedures.

Objectives: To compare results for converting failed LAGB to LSG versus LRYGB.

Granular cell tumor as an unusual cause of obstruction at the hepatic hilum: report of a case.

A diagnosis of malignancy is reasonably assumed when a lesion is found at the hilum or bile ducts in a patient with jaundice who has never undergone biliary surgery. Although benign tumors occasionally develop in this location, preoperative recognition is difficult and most are treated as malignant lesions. We illustrate this clinical scenario in this case report of a granular cell tumor (GCT) that developed at the biliary bifurcation, necessitating right hemi-hepatectomy with extrahepatic biliary tree excision.
