Objectives: Obesity is a global health epidemic with considerable co-morbidities. The increasing demand for bariatric surgery has led to the emergence of new techniques. We modified previously described Mini Gastric By-pass(MGB) technique via leaving a bridge at the most cranial 2 cm of the fundus of the human stomach to the follow-up and treatment of the remnant stomach and duodenum. We would like to entitle this new technique as Bridged MGB and aimed to apply on rabbits as an experimental study.
Material And Methods: The study was performed in the experimental animal laboratory of university after ethical approval was taken from the local ethics committee. Described new technique was applied to 2.1 and 3.2 kg 2 New Zealand rabbits.
Results: As a result of the operations, one of the rabbits died on the day of the operation; the other rabbit was exitus postoperatively on the third day. In autopsies, although no problem was detected at the anastomoses, necrosis was detected in the large curvature of both rabbits.
Conclusion: Rabbit, one of the popular experimental animals, has been shown to be different from the human gastrointestinal system in both arterial and topographic aspects and it has been emphasized that it varies according to the species and even the diet and the climate. We believe that our study failed as a result of these differences and that animals more similar to humans should be used in gastrointestinal experimental studies.

Background: Hepatogastric fistula (HGF) is an uncommon occurrence that can be associated with various medical conditions. The primary causes typically involve peptic ulcer disease, infections (such as pyogenic, amoebic or tuberculosis), or iatrogenic factors (like post transarterial chemoembolization or radiotherapy). Massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage following HGF is extremely rare, with iodine-125 (I) seed migration to the stomach through HGF not previously documented.

Article Synopsis
- * About 80% of GISTs have mutations in KIT or PDGFRA that affect how they behave and respond to treatment; a special type called SDH-deficient GISTs is linked to certain genetic syndromes and presents different challenges.
- * The primary treatment involves surgery and the drug imatinib for advanced cases, but resistance to treatment is a major issue, particularly in kids and wildtype GISTs, highlighting the need for better therapies and personalized treatment approaches.

Introduction Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most popular bariatric procedure worldwide in terms of numbers performed. However, there has been a rise in the popularity of the one anastomosis (mini) gastric bypass (OAGB). There have been various studies comparing the outcomes of SG vs OAGB and this study aims to add our experience and compare one-year outcome data between SG and OAGB in a single UK bariatric centre.

Article Synopsis
- * Results show significant differences in the microstructure and proteolysis rates of HM and IF, with IF being digested faster than HM, especially in the stomach and early intestine.
- * The findings indicate a strong correlation between in vitro and in vivo digestion outcomes, suggesting that in vitro models can effectively mimic the digestive process of HM in a living organism.
