Background: Bariatric surgeries, such as laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), not only result in significant weight loss but also improve the inflammatory state in obese patients. This study aimed to investigate the effects of LSG on weight loss and inflammation status in bariatric patients 1-year post-procedure.
Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted from September 2022 to May 2024.

BACKGROUND Gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTDs) are a group of benign and malignant tumors that arise from placental tissue. Ectopic pregnancies most commonly occur within the fallopian tubes. The estimated incidence of ectopic gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTDs) is approximated at 1.

Background: The impact of completely reducing or transecting a hernia sac on seroma formation in laparoscopic surgery for lateral inguinal hernias remains debated. To date, no studies have compared the incidence of seroma in hernia sacs left untouched versus other surgical approaches. Abandoning the hernia sac involves avoiding manipulation of the inguinal canal, unlike the manipulation required for transection or reduction of the hernia sac.

Is it possible for a low-volume surgeon to enhance their surgical skills without performing actual surgeries by utilizing virtual reality headsets and emerging technologies? It has been observed that the time spent by surgical assistants in the operating room decreased after the post-shift leave regulation. In the literature, the use of virtual reality simulations as a support tool in surgical training is recommended. Although the efficacy of virtual reality surgical simulations in surgeries such as arthroscopy and laparoscopy has been proven, there are limited studies on their effect in open surgeries.
