AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the impact of selective concomitant cholecystectomy (SCC) on laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in morbidly obese patients with gallbladder issues.
- A total of 48 patients were analyzed, with one group undergoing LSG and SCC and another undergoing LSG only; both groups had similar demographic data and BMI.
- While SCC added about 49 minutes to the surgery time, it did not lead to increased complications or hospital stay length, indicating it can be safely performed alongside LSG.
Article Abstract
Background/aims: To study the effect of selective concomitant cholecystectomy (SCC) on laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective case-control study of 16 morbidly obese patients treated with concomitant LSG as the primary bariatric surgery and SCC for proven gallbladder (GB) pathology (Group A) between November 2010 and February 2013 was performed. Randomly selected 32 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was the control group (Group B).
Results: A total of 48 patients with a mean age of 35.5±10.7 years were included. Demographic data of groups were similar except that there were more female patients in the Group A (p=0.036). Mean body mass index (kg/m2) was 51.1±5.6 and 50.9±5.4 in Groups A and B, respectively (p=0.894). The mean operative time for patients with and without cholecystectomy was 157.2±40 and 95.72±6.2 min, respectively (p=0.001). Cholecystectomy resulted in an additional mean operative time of 49.1±27.9 min without any specific complication. There was no statistical difference with regard to overall morbidity (p=0.316) and the length of hospital stay (p=0.528) between groups.
Conclusion: Although an increase in operative time may be an important issue, SCC can be performed on all patients with proven GB pathology during LSG without an increase in morbidity or length of hospital stay.

Comparing Ultrasound- and Laparoscopic-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Blocks in Sleeve Gastrectomy Patients.

Introduction Obesity is a major disease process in the United States with increasing prevalence and is associated with various comorbid conditions. Bariatric surgery, particularly laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), is an effective weight loss intervention but presents challenges in postoperative pain management. This study compares the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (UTAP) blocks, laparoscopic-guided transversus abdominis plane (LTAP) blocks, and no regional anesthesia on overall opioid use and postoperative outcomes in LSG patients.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has become the most popular weight loss surgery currently, but it inevitably leaves multiple small scars in the abdomen. Although the appearance of single-incision laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy achieve better cosmetic results, it may lead to postoperative complications such as umbilical hernia and umbilical infection. The author has developed a new surgical approach that can compensate for these deficiencies, which we called needlescopic laparoscope sleeve gastrectomy (NLSG).

Metabolic surgery, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), may improve hypertension (HTN) complicated by severe obesity; however, insufficient deliberation exists regarding the therapeutic effect of post-metabolic surgery on HTN. This study aimed to analyze the factors correlated with HTN remission and recurrence post-LSG in patients who have severe obesity, and to create a classification system to predict HTN remission and recurrence. Of the 102 patients who underwent LSG at Iwate Medical University Hospital between 2008 and 2020, 62 were enrolled in this study.

Introduction: Preventing staple line bleeding (SLB) is still a main issue in bariatric surgery procedures, especially after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Staple line reinforcements (SLR), mattress sutures, or titanium clip application did not show any statistical superiority compared to other methods. In this randomized controlled trial, we tested hemostatic powder (HP) in order to assess a possible role in the prevention of active bleeding, hematoma formation, the need for transfusions, and the increased risk for hospitalization.

Background/objective: Weight regain has serious health consequences after bariatric surgery, and disordered eating behaviors (EBs) may be involved in it. We compared disordered EB symptoms in post-bariatric patients according to low vs. high ratio of weight regain (RWR) and investigated associations between disordered EB symptoms with weight regain and time since surgery.
