While several equivalent alternatives are available in the bariatric algorithm, more recently the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has been gaining traction as an effective means of weight loss in patients with morbid obesity. We present the case of a 39-year-old woman with situs inversus totalis, who was taken to the operating room for laparoscopic SG. The patient had previously undergone a failed open gastric banding procedure 20 months earlier. Awareness of the inherited condition before performing the operation allows for advanced planning and preparation. Subsequent modifications to the standard trocar placement help make the procedure more technically feasible. To our knowledge, this is the first published report of a laparoscopic SG after open gastric banding in a patient with situs inversus totalis. After encountering the initial disorientation, we believe experienced laparoscopic surgeons can perform this procedure successfully and safely.

To successfully metastasize, cancer cells must evade detachment induced cell death, known as anoikis. Unraveling the mechanisms that gastric cancer (GC) circumvent anoikis and achieve peritoneal metastasis especially during unanchored growth, could significantly improve patient outcomes. Our study reveals that GC cells exhibit increased lipid peroxidation, MDA production, and cell death during suspension culture, which can be mitigated by the intervention with liproxstatin-1 and ferrostatin-1.

As arthroscopic and open shoulder surgery is increasingly performed on an outpatient basis, optimal and prolonged pain control is becoming more important while minimizing associated adverse effects. Traditional analgesic strategies relying on opioid and nonopioid medications provide inadequate pain control and are associated with undesirable adverse effects, such as opioid-related adverse effects (postoperative nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, sedation), gastric lining irritation, and renal and hepatic adverse effects. Advances in ultrasonography-guided regional anesthesia have made placement of interscalene brachial plexus nerve blocks more reliable and precise and aided development of novel phrenic nerve-sparing peripheral nerve block techniques that decrease the risk of diaphragmatic paresis and dyspnea.

Background: Previous studies have reported the effectiveness of the "enhanced recovery after surgery" program in patients who underwent gastric cancer surgery, mostly based on the 2014 gastrectomy guidelines. Therefore, based on subsequent advancements in perioperative management, this randomized, controlled, open-label, single-center study aimed to assess the impact of a recent evidence-based multimodal enhanced recovery after surgery program on the quality of early recovery after gastric cancer surgery.
Materials And Methods: This study included adult patients scheduled to undergo elective laparoscopic or robotic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
A 64-year-old woman had undergone subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy for locally advanced pancreatic head cancer. She had an uneventful postoperative course with no recurrence. However, approximately 18 months after surgery, she presented with recurrent abdominal pain.
