Background: Poor glycemic control has been associated with an increased risk of wound complications after various types of operations. However, it remains unclear how hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and preoperative glycemia can be used in clinical decision-making to prevent sternal wound complications (SWC) following off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 1774 consecutive patients who underwent OPCAB surgery between January 2010 and November 2016. A new four-grade classification for SWC was used. The associations of HbA1c and preoperative glycemia with incidence and grade of SWC were analysed using logistic regression analysis and proportional odds models, respectively.
Results: During a median follow-up of 326 days (interquartile range (IQR) 21-1261 days), SWC occurred in 133/1316 (10%) of non-diabetes and 82/458 (18%) of diabetes patients (p < 0.001). Higher HbA1c was significantly associated with a higher incidence of SWC (odds ratio, OR 1.24 per 1% increase, 95% confidence interval, CI 1.04;1.48, p = 0.016) as well as a higher grade of SWC (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.06;1.48, p = 0.010). There was no association between glycemia and incidence (p = 0.539) nor grade (p = 0.607) of SWC. Significant modifiers of these effects were found: HbA1c was associated with SWC in diabetes patients younger than 70 years (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.17;1.71, p < 0.001), whereas it was not in those older than 70 years. Glycemia was associated with SWC in patients who underwent non-urgent surgery (OR 2.48, 95% CI 1.26;4.88, p = 0.009), in diabetes patients who received skeletonised grafts (OR 4.83, 95% CI 1.28;18.17, p = 0.020), and in diabetes patients with a BMI < 30 (OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.01;4.76, p = 0.047), whereas it was not in the counterparts of these groups.
Conclusions: Under certain conditions, HbA1c and glycemia are associated SWC following OPCAB. These findings are helpful in planning the procedure with minimal risk of SWC.

[Clinical efficacy of carbohydrate preloading in reconstructive esophageal surgery].
Khirurgiia (Mosk)
December 2024
Petrovsky National Research Centre of Surgery, Moscow, Russia.
Objective: To evaluate clinical efficacy of preoperative carbohydrate loading as a component of ERAS in esophageal reconstructive surgery.
Material And Methods: Post hoc analysis included 162 patients who underwent esophageal reconstructive interventions with ERAS principles between 2014 and 2024. The main group (=61, CHO+) included patients who were metabolically loaded with carbohydrates in preoperative period with 12.
Low-energy diets before metabolic bariatric surgery: A systematic review of the effect on total body weight, liver volume, glycemia and side effects.
Obes Rev

Department of Surgery, Mora Hospital, Mora, Sweden.
There is no consensus regarding energy content or duration of hypocaloric diets used for preoperative optimization of patients before metabolic bariatric surgery. In this systematic review, we aimed to compare the effect of different hypocaloric diets on reductions in total body weight, liver volume, glucose and insulin concentrations, and side effects. Six databases were searched for articles including adults with BMI ≥35 kg/m treated with hypocaloric diets before metabolic bariatric surgery.

Article Synopsis
- * The study evaluated 62 patients (both diabetic and non-diabetic) undergoing lower limb surgeries, measuring various inflammatory and biochemical markers before and after the procedures.
- * Key findings showed correlations between specific markers (like IL-6 and TNF-α) and complications, indicating that monitoring these factors can help identify patients at higher risk and improve their management.
Effect of bariatric surgery on HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity.
Front Cardiovasc Med
November 2024
Nephrology Department, Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Spain.
Background: Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective intervention for severe obesity, leading to sustained weight loss, reduced obesity-related comorbidities, and cardiovascular mortality.
Aim: To assess changes in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functions [cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and anti-inflammatory capacity] at different follow-up times in patients with severe obesity undergoing BS.
Methods: A prospective observational study within a cohort of consecutively enrolled patients with severe obesity scheduled to undergo BS.

Background: This was a retrospective study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) as a strategy for weight loss in obese prospective voluntary kidney donors who were unable to achieve weight reduction through lifestyle changes.
Methods: This retrospective study included living kidney donors who underwent LSG as a strategy for weight loss in obese prospective voluntary kidney donors between 2012 and 2022. Prospective donors who were initially rejected due to obesity underwent LSG after pretransplantation evaluation.
