Background: Bariatric surgery is the most effective long-term treatment for morbid obesity, reducing obesity-associated co-morbidities. We decide to investigate the role of the polymorphism (G1359A) of the cannabinoid (CB)1 receptor gene on clinical outcomes 1 year after biliopancreatic diversion in morbidly obese patients.

Design: A sample of 66 morbidly obese patients (BMI >40 kg/m2) were operated. Weight, fat mass, blood pressure, basal glucose, triacylglycerols, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were measured at basal visit and at each visit. The frequency of metabolic comorbidities was recorded at each visit.

Results: Thirty-nine patients (59.1%) had genotype G1359G (wild type group) and 27 (40.9%) patients had genotype G1359A (mutant type group). In wild and mutant type groups, body mass index, weight, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triacylglycerols concentrations decreased, without statistical between genotype groups. Initial weight percent loss at 1 year of follow up was similar in both genotypes (33.1% vs 33.6%; ns).

Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that polymorphism G1359A in the CB1 receptor did not have a significant effect on biochemical and anthropometric improvements after biliopancreatic diversion surgery.

Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective intervention for patients with severe obesity and metabolic comorbidities, particularly when non-surgical weight loss methods prove insufficient. MBS has shown significant potential for improving quality of life and metabolic health outcomes in individuals with obesity, yet it carries inherent risks. Although these procedures offer a multifaceted approach to obesity treatment and its clinical advantages are well-documented, the limited understanding of its long-term outcomes and the role of multidisciplinary care pose challenges.

Introduction Bariatric surgery is increasingly employed to address the global burden of morbid obesity, with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) representing the predominant procedure. However, some patients, particularly those with extreme obesity (BMI >50 kg/m²), may experience unsatisfactory weight-related outcomes following RYGB. While biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) offers superior weight reduction for this population, its complexity and associated risks limit its widespread use.

Background: With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical education, tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 and DALL·E 3 have potential applications in enhancing learning materials. This study aims to evaluate ChatGPT-4o's proficiency in recognizing bariatric surgical procedures from illustrations and assess DALL·E 3's effectiveness in generating accurate surgical illustrations.

Methods: Illustrations of six bariatric surgical procedures (One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy, Sleeve Gastrectomy, Biliopancreatic Diversion, and Adjustable Gastric Banding) were sourced from the IFSO Atlas of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.

Background: Patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥50 have more obesity-associated medical problems and often require more aggressive surgical management. Few single-institution comparative studies have been published examining this specific population.

Objectives: The study aims to compare the weight loss and diabetes remission effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS).

Purpose: The effectiveness of biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) for weight loss is well established, yet there remains ongoing debate over optimal limb lengths to maximize weight loss without compromising safety. We aimed to evaluate the impact of BPD/DS limb lengths on weight loss outcomes and comorbidity resolution.

Material And Methods: A multicenter review of patients who underwent primary BPD/DS between 2008 and 2022.
