Introduction: Bariatric procedures rates are increased due to the epidemic in obesity. Up to 50% of patients operated with vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) procedures experience failure or complications in the mid- and long-term and present for revision bariatric surgery. Despite the increase in revisions, their safety and efficacy remain controversial.
Case Presentation: A 44-year-old female patient with severe malnutrition after single anastomosis sleeve jejunal bypass (SASJ) surgery was referred to this center. SASJ was the chosen bariatric procedure for her after the first failed VBG. She was unable to swallow anything. Upper GI endoscopy was done and the laparoscopic prolene mesh used in the first bariatric surgery (VBG) was seen inside the gastric lumen. Total parental nutrition was initiated and continued for 12 days in this medical center and then she was candidate for exploratory laparoscopy.
Clinical Discussion: Using prophylactic preperitoneal Prolene mesh during wound closure in bariatric surgery is safe and effective in preventing incisional hernia development. During the revision bariatric surgeries, surgeons should be careful about the used mesh in the first bariatric surgery.
Conclusion: Surgeons should be aware of the management of rare surgical complications that might lead to malnutrition which is insidious.

Patient adherence, satisfaction and changes in anthropometric parameters with e-health versus in-person monitoring in metabolic bariatric surgery patients: A study protocol for a systematic review and non-inferiority meta-analysis of cohort studies.

Background: Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and associated with reduced life expectancy metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is the treatment indicated when patients are unable to lose weight through lifestyle changes and medication alone. However, more evidence is necessary to show non-inferiority of e-health compared to in-person monitoring with regard to important parameters for the success of surgical treatment of obesity such as anthropometric changes.
Methods And Analyses: This review study will include cohort studies involving individuals with obesity and e-health or in-person patient monitoring before and after MBS.
Background: Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI) has emerged as a safe and effective bariatric procedure. Its simplicity and robust weight loss outcomes have contributed to its increasing popularity. While traditionally performed as an inpatient procedure, recent trends towards ambulatory surgery have prompted interest in outpatient SADI.

Background/objectives: In metabolic bariatric surgery, structured follow-up protocols may play an essential role in achieving optimal patient outcomes. This study aims to report postoperative biochemical outcomes in a cohort of post-bariatric patients who underwent a structured follow-up protocol.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent metabolic bariatric surgery and completed a one-year follow-up at Cannizaro Hospital from October 2022 to May 2024.
Comparing International Guidelines for the Remission of Hypertension After Bariatric Surgery.

Escola Superior de Saúde, Universidade do Algarve (ESSUAlg), 8005-139 Faro, Portugal.
Background/objectives: Obesity remains a global health concern and is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease overall. Dissimilar hypertension guidelines are available for clinicians, namely those prepared by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), which may lead to distinctive appreciation of health outcomes of patients with obesity after bariatric and metabolic surgery, such as hypertension remission. The main goal of this study was to compare the effects of applying stricter (AHA) versus looser (ESC) blood pressure criteria on hypertension diagnosis pre-bariatric surgery and remission assessment one year post-op.

The interplay between the gut microbiota and gastrointestinal hormones plays a pivotal role in the health of the host and the development of diseases. As a vital component of the intestinal microecosystem, the gut microbiota influences the synthesis and release of many gastrointestinal hormones through mechanisms such as modulating the intestinal environment, producing metabolites, impacting mucosal barriers, generating immune and inflammatory responses, and releasing neurotransmitters. Conversely, gastrointestinal hormones exert feedback regulation on the gut microbiota by modulating the intestinal environment, nutrient absorption and utilization, and the bacterial biological behavior and composition.
