Internal hernias are a rare but morbid complication following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. The incorporation of Brolin's anti-obstruction stitch has historically demonstrated a significant reduction in the incidence of internal hernias following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. We present an ironic and unique case of a patient with small bowel herniation into a defect between Brolin's stitch and the stapled closed common enterotomy of the jejunojejunostomy and technical considerations to decrease internal hernias at this site in the future.

Background: Bariatric surgery is the most long-term effective treatment option for severe obesity. The role of gut microbiome (GM) in either the development of obesity or in response to obesity management strategies has been a matter of debate. This study aims to compare the impact of two of the most popular procedures, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GB), on metabolic syndrome parameters and gut bacterial microbiome and in systemic immuno-inflammatory response.

This study investigates the effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on fibrotic MASH, assessed using the fibrotic NASH index (FNI) and the non-invasive NASH detection score (NI-NASH-DS), as well as provides further data on the diagnostic accuracy of both scores.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 104 individuals (91.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated Black-vs-White disparities in postoperative outcomes following primary metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). With the rising prevalence of MBS, it is important to examine racial disparities using quality indicators in primary and revisional procedures. This study explores Black-vs-White disparities in postoperative outcomes following primary and revisional MBS.

Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) differ in their effects on body weight and risk for reoperation. However, it is unclear whether long-term health expenditures differ by procedure type in patients with diabetes.
Objective: To compare health expenditures 3 years before and 5.
Levothyroxine malabsorption following sleeve gastrectomy.
Endocrinol Diabetes Metab Case Rep
January 2025
Summary: Oral levothyroxine (LT4) is prescribed worldwide for hypothyroidism. Bariatric surgery for patients with obesity has shown a substantial, long-term weight loss and considerable improvement of obesity-related diseases. LT4 malabsorption represents a significant cause of refractory hypothyroidism, well known after malabsorptive bariatric surgery such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
