Bleeding and leaks are the most ominous postoperative complications after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Various staple line reinforcement (SLR) techniques have been innovated such as oversewing/suturing (OS/S), omentopexy/gastropexy, buttressing, and gluing. Currently, no high-quality evidence supports the use of one method over the others or even supports the use of SLR over no SLR. This study aimed to compare postoperative outcomes between LSG with OS/S versus LSG without any SLR.

Background: Morbid obesity in adolescents impacts respiratory function, often leading to reduced lung volume and obstructive ventilatory defects. However, standard spirometric values frequently remain within normal ranges.
Objectives: We hypothesized that Lung Clearance Index (LCI) is a more sensitive marker for detecting airway dysfunction in adolescents with morbid obesity than conventional lung function tests.

Robotic approach is slowly rising in metabolic surgery, and laparoscopy is still considered the gold standard for Sleeve Gastrectomy. Aim of our study was to assess and compare outcomes of RSG through a matched comparison with LSG. Retrospective search of prospectively maintained database of our surgical department was carried out find all consecutive patients who underwent RSG from April 2023 to August 2024.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Bariatric surgeries, such as laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), not only result in significant weight loss but also improve the inflammatory state in obese patients. This study aimed to investigate the effects of LSG on weight loss and inflammation status in bariatric patients 1-year post-procedure.
Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted from September 2022 to May 2024.

Objective: To measure concentrations of tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) in dried blood spots (DBS) among individuals taking tenofovir disoproxil fumarate plus emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) or tenofovir alafenamide plus emtricitabine (TAF/FTC) who were scheduled to undergo or had already undergone bariatric surgery.
Methods: We enrolled pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) users attending clinics in Toronto or Ottawa who were undergoing or had undergone bariatric surgery. After participants completed a minimum of 7 days of consecutive PrEP dosing, we collected DBS samples immediately before they administered their next daily dose of PrEP.
