Purpose: Laparoscopic gastric clipping is a relatively novel bariatric surgical procedure, which can yield significant weight loss via a restriction of gastric expansion. Medical literature regarding the postoperative complications of this procedure is currently scarce. To this end, we submit here a video presentation of a corrective laparoscopic gastric sleeve procedure performed after an initial gastric clipping that failed to provide adequate weight loss and led to intractable belching.
Materials And Methods: A 40-year-old, morbidly obese woman (initial body mass index is 35.3 kg/m) presented with intractable belching and minimal weight loss 6 months after initial laparoscopic gastric clipping at another institution. A laparoscopic revisional procedure with gastric clip removal and conversion to sleeve gastrectomy was conducted to relieve her condition.
Results: The procedure took 270 min without any intraoperative complications. Blood loss was recorded at 100 mL. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course with a postoperative hospital stay of 2 days. The patient's symptoms were relieved successfully after this revisional surgery.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic removal of gastric clip with concomitant revision to sleeve gastrectomy is technically feasible in our patient.

Background: Textbook outcome (TO) has been utilized to assess the quality of surgical care. This study aimed to define TO rates for minimally invasive gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) resections in a bi-institutional cohort.
Methods: Patients with gastric GIST (≤ 5 cm) who underwent laparoscopic or robotic resection (January 2014 to January 2024) were retrospectively identified from two GIST centers.

Introduction And Importance: Dieulafoy's lesion is a rare but serious cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, typically affecting older adults. It involves an aberrant arteriole eroding the gastric mucosa, resulting in severe, recurrent bleeding that poses diagnostic and management challenges. We present a case report of massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage with hemodynamic instability associated with a Dieulafoy's lesion.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive surgery that aims to decrease the gastric volume of the patient. This study hypothesized that a higher resected gastric volume to the number of fired staplers ratio is associated with improved postoperative 12th-month outcomes. To analyze the effects of resected gastric volume to the number of fired staplers ratio on postoperative results in patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy.

Background: Current methods to measure intragastric pH in horses have limitations. A wireless capsule has been designed for continuous esophageal pH monitoring in humans.
Objectives: To (1) determine the feasibility and describe the methodology of measuring intragastric pH wirelessly in horses; and (2) determine attachment duration of the capsules.
Implications of compressive loading of the stomach wall: Interplay between mechanical deformation and microstructure.
Acta Biomater

Institute of Biomechanics, Graz University of Technology, Austria; Department of Structural Engineering, NTNU, Norway. Electronic address:
During gastric surgery, the stomach wall is compressed with clamps and sutures or staple lines. These short- and long-term deformations can severely compromise the integrity of the tissue and make it difficult for the stomach wall to respond and remodel to the new loading conditions. Consequently, serious intra- and postoperative complications such as the formation of leaks during bariatric surgeries, can be associated with these immense tissue deformations.
