Article Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a proven method for weight reduction. Less is known about pregnancies in patients after LAGB.
Methods: Information was gathered, through database and survey, on women who underwent LAGB at NYU Medical Center between 2001 and 2008 then became pregnant.
Results: Pregnancy occurred in 133 women, resulting in 112 babies, including six sets of twins. The average pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) was 32.7. Average weight gain was 11.5 kg, but was higher for those with pre-pregnancy BMI <30.0 compared to BMI >30.0 (16.4 vs 8.6 kg). Of singleton pregnancies, 89% were carried to full term, with cesarean section in 45%. Those with pre-pregnancy BMI <30.0 had a lower rate of cesarean section (35.71%), but it was not statistically significant (p = 0.55). Average birth weight was 3,268.6 g. Eight percent of babies from singleton pregnancies were low birth weight (<2,500 g), and seven percent were high birth weight (>4,000 g). Average Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min were 8.89 and 9.17. Four percent of patients developed gestational diabetes, and 5% developed pre-eclampsia. Band adjustments were performed in 71% of patients. Weight gain was higher in those who had their bands loosened in the first trimester (p = 0.063). Three patients had intrapartum band slips; one required surgery during pregnancy.
Conclusions: LAGB is tolerable in pregnancy with rare intrapartum band slips. Weight gain is less in those with higher pre-pregnancy BMI and those who had their bands filled or not adjusted. Babies born to these mothers are as healthy as the general population.

Management of Post-RALP SUI and ED - What are and What Should we be Doing?
Curr Urol Rep
November 2024

Article Synopsis
- This review assesses the impact of robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) on male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and erectile dysfunction (ED), highlighting the significant quality-of-life challenges these conditions present.
- It emphasizes the importance of patient history in determining treatment strategies, suggesting that penile rehabilitation may help improve erectile function post-surgery, though specific programs for optimal recovery are not yet agreed upon.
- The review concludes that effective treatments for post-RALP SUI include both adjustable slings and artificial urinary sphincters, while future research should focus on enhancing treatment methods and patient compliance for better outcomes.

Background: Endoscopic bariatric surgery (EBS) is a new treatment for obesity. We compared the efficacy, safety, and probability of metabolic complications of different EBSs with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Methods: This systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) included searches of PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from January 1, 2017, to December 27, 2022, to find comparative trials of EBS procedures and EBS with LSG.
