Laparoscopic Toupet-Sleeve gastrectomy in morbid obese patients with preoperative gastro-esophageal reflux: a 4-year follow-up cohort study.

Aim: To assess the 4-year outcomes after Toupet-Sleeve (TS) gastrectomy in morbid obese patients with concomitant preoperative gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Material And Methods: The study group consisted of 19 consecutive patients operated on between August 2017 and February 2019. There were 5 men and 14 women with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 43 ± 5 kg/m and a mean age of 42 ± 15 years.

A case-control comparative study between Toupet-Sleeve and conventional sleeve gastrectomy in patients with preoperative gastroesophageal reflux.

Introduction: The aim of that study was to compare outcomes after Toupet-Sleeve (T-Sleeve) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) as primary bariatric procedures in obese patients presenting with preoperative gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Material And Methods: The outcomes of 19 consecutive patients operated between 2017 and 2019 by T-Sleeve were compared to the outcomes of 38 patients operated in 2014 by SG. The two groups were matched by age, sex, ASA classification, BMI, food habits and severity of esophagitis.

Five-year Outcomes of Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Prospective Multicenter Study.

Background: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most frequently performed bariatric procedure in the world. Our purpose was to evaluate the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), resolution of obesity-related comorbidities after SG, and identify predictive factors of weight loss failure.

Methods: A prospective cohort study of adults who underwent SG during 2014 in 7 Belgian-French centers.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity in a Belgian-French prospective multicenter study: outcomes and predictors weight loss failure.

Introduction: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) became the most frequently performed bariatric procedure worldwide, gaining rapidly popularity thanks to its technical simplicity and the relatively good results. The aim of this Belgian-French study was to evaluate postoperative complications, weight loss, and resolution of obesity-related comorbidities after LSG, and identify predictive factors of weight loss failure.

Patients And Methods: A prospective multicenter study was conducted on all LSG performed during 2014 in 7 centers.

Different laparoscopic treatment modalities for splenic artery aneurysms: about 3 cases with review of the literature.

Introduction: The first laparoscopic treatment of splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) was performed in 1993. Since then, many papers have been published mentioning different laparoscopic treatment modalities, including splenectomy, aneurysmectomy, ligation or even occlusion.

Patients And Methods: An updated literature review of the English medical literature using the following MeSH, 'Lapaorscopic splenic artery aneurysm', 'laparoscopic aneurysectomy', 'Laparoscopic Splenic artery Aneurysm Ligation' and 'Laparoscopic Splenic artery aneurysm excision' was done.

Gastro-tracheal fistula--unusual and life threatening complication after esophagectomy for cancer: a case report.

Background: A gastro-tracheal fistula following esophagectomy for cancer is a rare but potentially lethal complication. We report the successful surgical closure after failed endoscopic treatment, of a gastro-tracheal fistula following esophago-gastrectomy for cancer after induction chemo-radiotherapy.

Case Presentation: A 58 year-old male patient presented with a distal third uT3N1 carcinoma of the esophagus.
