Quality of Life After Bariatric Surgery-a Systematic Review with Bayesian Network Meta-analysis.

Objective: Comprehensive analysis and comparison of HRQoL following different bariatric interventions through systematic review with network meta-analysis.

Background: Different types of bariatric surgeries have been developed throughout the years. Apart from weight loss and comorbidities remission, improvement of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important outcome of metabolic surgery.

Medical student experience with robot-assisted surgery after limited laparoscopy exposure.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the objective and subjective experience of medical students completing robotic surgery tasks after limited laparoscopy exposure. Twenty-three medical students without previous laparoscopy and robotic surgery experience self-enrolled into 0 min (n = 11), 20 min (n = 6), and 40 min (n = 6) laparoscopy training groups. Subjects completed rope passing and ball placement tasks on a laparoscopy trainer before repeating similar tasks on the Senhance Surgical System, a robot-assisted digital laparoscopy device.

Feasibility of modified Edmonton Obesity Staging System in bariatric center.

Background: The number of bariatric procedures is growing worldwide annually. While there is no doubt that a high body mass index is fundamental in qualification for surgical intervention, the Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) developed in 2009 may be an additional tool for identifying patients for whom surgery should be performed and those for whom the surgery should be postponed.

Objective: Assessment of the feasibility of modified EOSS as a qualification tool for surgery for obesity and related diseases and its association with morbidity.
