Article Abstract

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the best procedures for the treatment of obesity and associated comorbidities. However, the percent of revisional procedures after a gastric bypass by weight regain has been increased, therefore several surgical options are available for the treatment of weight regain. In this case report, we combined a biliary limb distalization with endoscopic transoral outlet reduction (eTOR). The purpose of this case report is to expose the viability to perform combined procedures such as the distalization of the biliopancreatic limb plus eTOR increasing malabsorptive and restrictive components that would represent a secure and efficient weight loss in our patient. We could demonstrate the technical feasibility of the combination of both procedures to increase the restrictive and malabsorptive components at the same time with a low-risk range.

In recent years, reports of infections in humans have increased. Similarly to most known Enterococci, has been identified mostly in bacteremia, urinary tract infections, infective endocarditis, and biliary tract infections. We present a case of bacteriemia associated with traumatic soft tissue infection in a 77-year-old male patient, a polytrauma victim with a tibia-fibula open fracture after a forklift accident.

Performing a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients having undergone a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RNYGB) poses a significant surgical challenge. We present a patient with a history of RNYGB and endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) procedure who underwent a successful PD. This 77-year-old female with history of open RNYBG presented with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

  • * A study reviewed 261 liver transplant patients, finding that 9 had prior bariatric surgery, and 33% of those experienced biliary complications, primarily in patients with Roux-en-Y or biliopancreatic diversion surgeries.
  • * Effective management of these complications included advanced endoscopic techniques and surgical revisions, with no recurrent strictures observed by the study's end, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.

Schwannomas, which are benign mesenchymal tumors derived from Schwann cells, are common in the central nervous system. While they are commonly seen in the extremities and head-neck area, their presence in visceral organs, particularly the adrenals, is uncommon. Adrenal schwannomas are frequently discovered incidentally, offering a diagnostic difficulty because of their uncommon presentation.
