Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has been gaining popularity due to its simplicity and outstanding results. This procedure is no exception to attempts aimed at minimizing abdominal port access. In this article, the senior author (AAS) presents his technique for an entirely transumbilical single-incision approach where no extraumbilical incisions are necessary.
Materials And Methods: Seven patients underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies using this single-incision, totally transumbilical technique. The same surgeon (AAS) performed all surgical interventions. The same perioperative protocol and operative techniques were implemented for all the patients.
Results: A total of 7 single-incision transumbilical laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies were successfully performed using this technique. Two patients required lysis of adhesions, and 1 patient underwent an umbilical hernia repair during the procedure. Mean operating time was 143 minutes. One of the patients required the insertion of an additional trocar. There were no mortalities or postoperative complications noted during the mean follow-up period of 1.5 months.
Conclusions: Single-incision laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy performed entirely through the umbilicus is safe, technically feasible, and reproducible.

Safety and cost of selective histopathological analysis for detecting cancer in surgical specimens: a systematic review.

Article Synopsis
- The systematic review investigates the effectiveness and cost benefits of a selective histopathology approach for cancer detection, rather than the usual routine analysis of surgical specimens.
- It analyzed data from 11 studies involving over 26,000 patients who underwent various surgical procedures, identifying a low rate of cancer diagnoses but noting substantial cost savings.
- The conclusion emphasizes that while this selective method doesn’t significantly increase missed cancer diagnoses, there are concerns regarding legal protections for surgeons who opt out of routine histopathological analysis.

Background: Genetic background of severe obesity is inadequately understood. The effect of genetic factors on weight loss after metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) has shown inconclusive results.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of rare obesity-associated gene variants in a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial (RCT) comparing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) for the treatment of severe obesity and examine their association with long-term weight loss at 10 years.

Background The incidence of obesity and related comorbidities, such as diabetes, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and osteoarthritis, is increasing. Many patients with obesity do not respond to conservative treatments. For these patients, bariatric surgery, also known as metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS), has emerged as an effective option.

In this editorial, we reviewed the article by Li . We aimed to explore various perspectives to further mitigate the risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), which could significantly reduce its incidence and related postoperative complications. PONV is highly prevalent among patients undergoing bariatric surgery, yet there are relatively few related studies.
