Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is performed by using endoscopic suctioning to reduce the volume of the stomach by plicating the greater curvature with an endoscopic suturing device or stapler. This allows for the endoscopist to perform an elective outpatient weight loss procedure. We will describe a single case of post-procedure day zero complication involving ESG resulting in ischemia, perforation, and peritonitis; what was discovered intra-operatively; and our operative management.

Micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs) are commonly reported after bariatric and metabolic surgery, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Nevertheless, the micronutrient status changes over time and the influence of sex or initial body mass index (BMI) on these changes are less explored. This study aims to investigate the changes in micronutrient levels at 6 and 12 months after LSG and the potential influence of sex or baseline BMI (≥40 kg/m) on these changes in patients submitted to LSG.

Achalasia is a rare esophageal motor disorder characterized by incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and ineffective contraction of the esophageal body. This condition is not often associated with obesity; however, in recent years, cases of achalasia after bariatric surgery have been described. We describe the case of a 30-year-old female patient with a history of gastric sleeve surgery in 2018, which, 4 years after the intervention, presented with dysphagia, regurgitation, and weight loss.

Pancreatoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy are standard treatments for various pancreatic pathologies. These procedures involve radical resection and a significant loss of pancreatic tissue, which can lead to exocrine and/or endocrine pancreatic insufficiency. In selected cases of benign tumors or those with low malignant potential, central pancreatectomy can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates.

Background: Anterior labroligamentous periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA) lesions are associated with recurrent shoulder instability and higher rates of failure after capsulolabral repair compared with similarly treated Bankart lesions. Although these lesions can portend poor outcomes, there are limited data on the associated conditions and postoperative course in a young, active population.
Purpose: To evaluate the mid- to long-term clinical course and failure rates after ALPSA repairs and assess features associated with these outcomes.

Introduction And Importance: Situs inversus is an anatomical rare condition in which visceral organs are not located in its normal position, with a reversal anatomical orientation.
Case Presentation: We present a case of an 27-year-old male with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 36.02 Kg/m2, who was programed for a Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), in which Situs inversus was documented.
