Purpose: This study investigates the long-term effects of biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) on patients with advanced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) while paying special attention to preoperative diabetes severity.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted using prospective and current data on patients who underwent an open BPD-DS 6-12 years ago. Patients were stratified according to preoperative diabetes severity into 4 groups (group 1: oral antidiabetic drugs only; group 2: insulin < 5 years; group 3: insulin 5-10 years; group 4: insulin > 10 years). The primary endpoint was T2DM remission rate 6-12 years after BPD-DS as a function of preoperative diabetes severity.

Results: Ninety-one patients with advanced T2DM were included. Sixty-two patients were available for follow-up (rate of 77%). Follow-up was performed (mean ± SD) 8.9 ± 1.3 years after surgery. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA) levels were 9.4 ± 2.0% before surgery and decreased to 5.1 ± 0.8% after 1 year and 5.4 ± 1.0% after 6-12 years. Insulin discontinuation rate after surgery as well as the rate of long-term remission decreased steadily from groups 1 to 4, while long-term mortality increased. T2DM remission rates were 93%, 88%, 45%, and 40% in groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Late relapse of T2DM occurred in 3 patients (5%).

Conclusions: BPD-DS causes a rapid and long-lasting normalization of glycemic metabolism in patients with advanced T2DM. T2DM remission rate after 6-12 years varies significantly (from 40% to more than 90%) and is highly dependent on preoperative diabetes severity.

Background: Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for severe pediatric obesity, but a subset of youth experience suboptimal weight loss and/or recurrent weight gain. Early re-initiation of obesity pharmacotherapy postoperatively may improve outcomes, though this has not been evaluated in pediatric populations.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study at a tertiary care children's hospital evaluated the safety and efficacy of reintroducing obesity pharmacotherapy within six weeks after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).

Background: To investigate the effectiveness of different bariatric metabolic surgeries in improving metabolic syndrome indicators in patients.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on obese patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy + jejunojejunal bypass (LSG + JJB), and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Patients were categorized into groups based on their surgical procedure: LSG (N = 199), LSG + JJB (N = 242), and LRYGB (N = 288).

Introduction: The combined effect of diabetes mellitus and obesity (Diabesity) on total knee replacement (TKR) outcomes is unclear. This study aimed to assess whether diabesity influenced functional outcomes and complication rate following primary TKR.

Materials And Methods: This case-controlled study compared the independent effects of obesity, diabetes, and diabesity on TKR outcomes.

Objective: Globally, over 50% of the population is affected by , yet research on its prevalence and impact in patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is inconclusive. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of infection in individuals with obesity undergoing LSG, evaluate the percentage of postoperative staple-line leaks, and explore the potential link between infection and staple-line leaks.

Methods: This retrospective analysis assessed adult patients with class III obesity who underwent LSG between 2015 and 2020 at a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The measurement of Calcitonin (Ctn) in fine-needle aspiration (FNA) washout fluids (FNA-Ctn) has demonstrated excellent sensitivity, significantly higher than FNA cytology, in detecting medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). However, the absence of a fixed cutoff value for FNA-Ctn poses a limitation. This study aimed to investigate whether the sensitivity of FNA-Ctn in detecting MTC varies with different cutoffs reported in the literature.
