Advances in gastric cancer screening have enabled earlier detection, shifting the focus of treatment toward preserving patients' quality of life (QoL). Function-preserving gastrectomy (FPG), including pylorus-preserving gastrectomy, proximal gastrectomy, and sentinel node navigation surgery, represents a paradigm shift in the surgical management of early gastric cancer. These techniques aim to balance oncological safety with the preservation of gastric function, mitigating postgastrectomy syndromes such as dumping syndrome, bile reflux, and nutritional deficiencies.

Context: Post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is a complication of bariatric surgery including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). It remains unclear why only some individuals develop PBH.
Objective: To identify clinical characteristics distinguishing post-RYGB individuals with PBH, versus without symptomatic hypoglycemia (RYGB non-hypo).

Background: Dumping syndrome is a complex of gastrointestinal symptoms originally studied in peptic ulcer surgery patients. At present, it is most prevalent in patients who underwent bariatric, upper gastrointestinal cancer or anti-reflux surgery. The symptom pattern comprises early and late dumping symptoms.

We aimed to prospectively compare chronological changes in postoperative body weight and QOL between laparoscopic and open total gastrectomy for stage I gastric cancer (GC).
Methods: We conducted a multi-institutional prospective study (CCOG1504) of patients who undergo laparoscopic or open total gastrectomy.

Purpose: Dumping syndrome (DS) is a common complication of metabolic surgery, occurring in as many as 40% of bariatric patients. The reference diagnostic test is oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) which is often poorly tolerated and may induce false positive results. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is better tolerated and can monitor patients for about 2 weeks in everyday life.
