Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are common weight loss procedures. Our meta-analysis compared these procedures for the treatment of morbid obesity and related diseases.
Methods: We systematically searched the PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library through January 2018. The percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), improvement or remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension were analyzed and compared.
Results: Thirty-three studies with 4109 patients were included. Greater decreases in excess weight were found in patients who received LSG at 6 months (weighted mean difference (WMD) -9.29, 95% confidence interval (CI): -15.19 to -3.40, P = .002), 12 months (WMD -16.67 95% CI: -24.30 to -9.05, P < .0001), 24 months (WMD -19.63, 95% CI: -29.00 to -10.26, P < .0001), and 36 months (WMD -19.28, 95% CI: -27.09 to -11.47, P < .0001) than in patients who received LAGB. However, there were no significant differences in the 3-month outcomes between the 2 groups (WMD -1.61, 95% CI: -9.96 to 6.73, P = .70). T2DM patients after LSG experience more significant improvement or remission of diabetes (odds ratio (OR): 0.22, 95% CI: 0.06-0.87, P = .03). The 2 groups did not significantly differ regarding improvement or remission of hypertension (OR 0.80, 95% CI: 0.46-1.38, P = .42).
Conclusion: LSG is a more effective procedure than LAGB for morbidly obese patients, contributing to a higher %EWL and greater improvement in T2DM.

Utility of High-positioning Pelvic Pads in Laparoscopic Sigmoid Colon and Rectal Surgeries.

Division of Gastroenterological, Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic, Transplantation and Pediatric Surgery, Department of Surgery, Shinshu University School of Medicine, Matsumoto, Japan.
Background/aim: The increased use of robotic rectal surgery has raised concerns regarding the increase in postoperative complications, , compartment syndrome, associated with factors such as the Trendelenburg position, use of the adjustable lithotomy stirrup, and prolonged surgical duration. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the utility of high-positioning pelvic pads during laparoscopic rectal and sigmoid colon surgeries, which is employed in our institution to maintain a stable body position with reduced head-down tilt.
Patients And Methods: We included patients who underwent laparoscopic sigmoidectomy and rectal resection at Shinshu University Hospital between January 2016 and December 2021.

Background: The Spatz3® Intragastric Adjustable Balloon (SAB) offers a novel approach to weight loss in super obese patients [body mass index (BMI) ≥50 kg/m2]. This study evaluates the safety, effectiveness, and predictors of success of SAB in this population.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at King Abdullah Medical City, Makkah, Saudi Arabia, involving 94 patients with SAB implantation.

Pediatric Surgery Department, University Hospital of Angers, 4, rue Larrey Cedex 9, 49933 Angers, France.
Background: Minimally invasive surgery seems particularly suited to adolescents in view of the cosmetic improvements it provides. This study reports on our first experience of single-incision laparoscopic surgery for adjustable gastric banding (SILS-AGB) using a single-trocar approach and evaluates its safety and efficacy as compared with conventional four-trocar laparoscopy.
Methods: The data of adolescent patients who underwent SILS-AGB or conventional laparoscopy for adjustable gastric banding (CL-AGB) between 2014 and 2019 in our center were reviewed.

Background: Globally, many surgeons perform varying revisional procedures to convert either a primary sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) for the management of recurrent weight gain. There is no consensus on efficacious revision surgery in terms of long-term weight loss and comorbidity management. Nationally, the most common revision procedure is to a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).

Placement of a laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) is a procedure used in bariatric surgery. Despite its decrease in popularity due to its high reoperation rate and suboptimal clinical response, managing the complications of LAGBs remains an important component of general and bariatric surgeons' work. Only two case studies describe return to theatre to excise scarring, which has continued to cause symptoms after LAGB removal.
