Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is increasingly being performed in morbidly obese individuals for weight loss. Some patients develop pouch dilatation as a postoperative complication that limits the utility of the procedure. Surgical variables are poor predictors of this complication. 5 patients from a series of 157 who underwent LAGB at a single center developed the condition.
Methods: Psychiatric and surgical case-notes were analyzed retrospectively for the presence of operationally defined psychiatric disorders and compared to 10 controls from the same population.
Results: Cases were significantly more likely to have past or current binge eating, emotionally triggered eating with reduced awareness of the link, a history of affective disorder, reduced sexual functioning and successful preoperative weight loss. No difference between groups was observed for compliance with orlistat, childhood sexual abuse, relationships with parents, history of bulimia nervosa, rate of band inflation or preoperative BMI.
Conclusions: Psychological factors may be better predictors of pouch dilatation than biomedical variables. Disordered eating can be an attempt to modulate negative emotions. Pouch dilatation may be a consequence of this eating behavior.

Stricture formation is a common complication after restorative proctocolectomy and Kock pouch surgery. Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) is a balloon catheter device that uses impedance planimetry to provide luminal pressure and dimension measurements. This case describes the first use of EndoFLIP to quantify the distensibility and diameter of a Kock pouch stricture before and after endoscopic balloon dilation and needle knife stricturotomy.

Posterior fossa congenital pial arteriovenous fistulas are rare vascular anomalies associated with high morbidity. These anomalies often present challenges to neurointerventionists due to their complex morphological features. We successfully treated two technically challenging, infratentorial large pial arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) associated with complete flow steal in the basilar artery.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the through-and-through wire (TTW) technique for antegrade ureteral Double-J stent placement after failure of either antegrade or retrograde ureteral stent placement.
Method: This retrospective study analyzed the medical records of consecutive patients who underwent Double-J stent placement with the TTW technique at Asan Medical Center and Gil Medical Center between January 2016 and February 2023. Patient histories, reasons for employing the TTW technique, TTW pathways, and complications were reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how doctors treat babies with a serious condition called long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) using special methods.
- They checked the medical records of 10 patients and found that different surgical techniques were used, like the Foker and Gazi methods, to help the babies eat normally.
- It was important for these surgeries to be done by skilled surgeons in special hospitals to get the best results for the babies.
