Low-Pressure Pneumoperitoneum During Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Safety and Feasibility Analysis.

Purpose: Laparoscopy is advised under the lowest possible intra-peritoneal pressure. The aim of this study is to analyze the safety/feasibility of low pneumoperitoneum pressure (LPP) during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).

Materials And Methods: All primary LSGs who completed a 3-month follow-up were included.

Sleeve gastrectomy in patients with previous antireflux surgery. Preliminary results of the "no-touch to posterior wrap" technique.

Background: Reported morbidity of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in patients with previous antireflux surgery warrants caution, and data on sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are unexpectedly scarce.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and efficiency of SG in patients who previously underwent an antireflux procedure. A new technique to preserve intact fundoplication is described.

Iatrogenic cardiac tamponade as a mortal complication of peri-hiatal surgery. Analysis of 30 published cases.

Iatrogenic cardiac tamponade (ICT) is a dreadful complication of peri-hiatal surgery and vast majority occur during a hernia repair. Strikingly, against all warnings, the incidents and related deaths seem to be increasing. The aim of this review is to provide insight on how to prevent and challenge ICT.

A Comparative Study Evaluating the Incidence of Colorectal Neoplasia(s) in Candidates for Bariatric Surgery by Screening Colonoscopy, 40-49 Versus 50-65 Years Old: a Preliminary Study.

Introduction: Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with colorectal neoplasia (CRN) and carcinoma (CRC). Whether such subjects must undergo screening colonoscopy (SC) earlier, is unknown. Incidences of CRNs in 40-49- versus 50-65-year-old bariatric patients were compared by SC.

Anti-Müllerian hormone as a diagnostic tool for ovarian remnant syndrome in bitches.

Ovariohysterectomy is a surgical procedure performed for sterilization. If part or all of an ovary remains after the surgical procedure, ovarian remnant syndrome (ORS) occurs. After revascularization of the remaining ovarian tissue, the sexual cycle of bitches and queens continues.
