Background: Previously we have reported variation in pre-operative clinical characteristics between women and men undergoing laparoscopic roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). However, variation by sex in post-operative outcomes following LRYGB has not been investigated.
Methods: Pre-operative data was compared to follow-up data at 12 months after surgery on 83,059 patients from the Surgical Review Corporation's BOLD database. Data included age, weight, BMI, and 31 obesity-related medical conditions.
Results: Men had increased weight, actual weight lost, and BMI. Women had higher rates of gastrointestinal and mental health disorders. Men failed to resolve cardiopulmonary/vascular and metabolic derangements, abdominal hernia, and were more functionally impaired than women.
Conclusions: Overall, women may benefit more from LRYG than men, as their pre-operative conditions showed greater improvement at 12 months post-op. This advance knowledge may aid LRYGB planning and improve outcomes.

Petersen's hernia with chylous ascites following laparoscopic total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y anastomosis: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Petersen's hernia occurring through the epiploic foramen of the greater omentum, is an uncommon type of internal hernia. When it presents with complications such as chylous ascites, which is the lymphatic fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity, it is particularly rare. Following laparoscopic total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y anastomosis, the incidence of this condition is exceedingly low.

It is crucial to understand the glucose control within our bodies. Bariatric/metabolic surgeries, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), provide an avenue for exploring the potential key factors involved in maintaining glucose homeostasis since these surgeries have shown promising results in improving glycemic control among patients with severe type 2 diabetes (T2D). For the first time, a markedly altered population of serum proteins in patients after LSG was discovered and analyzed through proteomics.

: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is a well-established treatment for severe obesity, yet its effects in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are not well understood. MBS in this population presents unique challenges, including the potential for exacerbating inflammatory disease activity and causing complications such as malnutrition and medication malabsorption. This study aims to assess the long-term outcomes of MBS in IBD patients, focusing on both metabolic outcomes and its impact on the course of IBD.

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.
