Background: The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with perioperative morbidity among patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy while receiving antithrombotic therapy (ATT).
Patients And Method: This retrospective cohort study included 46 patients (14 females and 32 males) who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy, including 12 (26.1 %) who received perioperative ATT, between January 2012 and November 2015 in our institution. Among patients receiving only aspirin as antiplatelet therapy, none were on anticoagulation therapy. All patients took aspirin as antiplatelet therapy for cardiac indications. The clinical findings and surgical outcomes of patients who did (ATT group) and did not (control group) receive ATT were compared.
Results: The intraoperative mortality was 0 % for both groups. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative morbidity by univariate analysis between the control and ATT groups (8.8 vs. 8.3 %, p = 0.39).
Conclusion: The risk of postoperative morbidity of laparoscopic gastrectomy can be equivalent between the ATT and non-ATT (control) groups.

Background: Among bariatric surgeries, laparoscopic sleeve gastrostomy (LSG) has gained good global acceptance, but this surgery, like any other invasive procedure, has side effects. Various techniques have been tested to reduce these complications, which are used under the title of stapler line reinforcement (SLR). The purpose of this research is to compare the bleeding, leakage, mortality, food intolerance, re-hospitalization, and post-operative invasive therapeutic interventions in LSG surgery in two groups with and without omentopexy method.

The last 20 + years have noted significantly improved safety that has been accompanied by decreasing length of stay and select populations electing for outpatient surgery, leading to continued decreases in cost. Regardless, readmissions and complications still occur, requiring inpatient postoperative care (IP-POC).

For patients considering bariatric surgery, it is essential to have clear answers to common questions to ensure the success of the procedure. Patients should understand that surgery is not a quick fix but a tool that must be complemented by lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments and regular physical activity. The procedure carries potential risks that should be weighed against the potential benefits.

Aim: To investigate the effect of weight loss and metabolic improvement after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in older adults aged 65 years or over compared with younger adults in a retrospective analysis.
Methods: The J-SMART study database of 322 Japanese individuals with body mass index (BMI) ≥32 kg/m who underwent LSG between 2011 and 2014 at 10 centers accredited by the Japanese Society for Treatment of Obesity were analyzed. The subjects were classified into two groups: ≥65 age group (range, 65-76 years; n = 25) and <65 age group (range, 22-64 years; n = 297).

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate underlying mechanisms of long-term effective weight loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and effects on the medial orbitofrontal cortex (mOFC) and cognition.
Methods: A total of 18 individuals with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m) underwent LSG. Clinical data, cognitive scores, and brain magnetic resonance imaging scans were evaluated before LSG and 12 months after LSG.
