The distal bile duct was isolated and transected with a frozen section examination confirming the absence of malignancy. Attention was then shifted to constructing a 60 cm Roux limb by first identifying and transecting the proximal jejunum 40 cm from the ligamentum of Treitz. A side-to-side stapled jejunojejunostomy anastomosis was completed. The Roux limb was transposed toward the porta hepatis through an antecolic approach.

Purpose: Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are major risk factors for hepatic steatosis. Diet or bariatric surgery can reduce liver volume, fat content, and inflammation. However, little is known about their effects on liver function, as evaluated here using the LiMAx test.

Introduction: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is a common procedure associated with satisfactory outcomes. Revisional surgery due to weight regain or insufficient weight loss (WR/IWL) after OAGB is underreported.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of a single-bariatric surgeon database was conducted.

Introduction: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) reversal might be necessary to alleviate refractory surgical or nutritional complications, such as postprandial hypoglycemia, malnutrition, marginal ulceration, malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, chronic pain, or excessive weight loss. The surgical technique of RYGB reversal is not standardized; potential strategies include the following: (1) gastro-gastrostomy: hand-sewn technique, linear stapler, circular stapler; (2) handling of the Roux limb: reconnection or resection (if remaining intestinal length ≥ 4 m).
Case Presentation: We demonstrate the surgical technique of a laparoscopic reversal of RYGB with hand-sewn gastro-gastrostomy and resection of the alimentary limb with the aim of improving the patient's quality of life.

Purpose: The effectiveness of biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) for weight loss is well established, yet there remains ongoing debate over optimal limb lengths to maximize weight loss without compromising safety. We aimed to evaluate the impact of BPD/DS limb lengths on weight loss outcomes and comorbidity resolution.
Material And Methods: A multicenter review of patients who underwent primary BPD/DS between 2008 and 2022.

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.
