Background: Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a complex intra-abdominal operation used for the treatment of benign and malignant disease of the pancreatic head or periampullary region. Despite developments in surgical techniques, pancreaticoduodenectomy is still associated with high rate of postoperative complications. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the surgical outcomes of isolated Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy (IRYPJ), and conventional pancreaticojejunostomy(CPJ).
Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement. We searched the following electronic databases - PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Clinical-Trials.gov. Published trials comparing the efficacy and safety of IRYPJ and CPJ after pancreaticoduodenectomy were evaluated. The search terms were "pancreaticoduodenectomy," "Whipple," "pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy," "pancreaticojejunostomy," "Roux-en-Y," and "isolated Roux loop pancreaticojejunostomy." Only randomised controlled trials comparing outcome of IRYPJ and CPJ after pancreaticoduodenectomy were included. The analysed outcome measures were postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), clinically relevant POPF (CR-POPF), bile leak and delayed gastric emptying (DGE).
Results: The initial search yielded 342 results but only four randomised control trials fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included for data synthesis and meta-analysis. Meta-analysis of POPF revealed that IRYPJ is associated with less POPF compared to CPJ but the difference was not statistically significant (risk ratio = 0.58, = 0.56). A similar finding was also observed with CR-POPF (risk ratio = 0.17, = 0.87) and DGE (risk ratio = 0.74, = 0.46).
Conclusion: Isolated Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy is not associated with a superior outcome when compared to CPJ.

Background: Cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is inversely associated with incident cardiovascular events, independent of HDL cholesterol. Obesity is characterized by low HDL cholesterol and impaired HDL function, such as CEC. Bariatric surgery, including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG), broadly leads to improved cardiovascular outcomes, but impacts on risk factors differ by procedure, with greater improvements in weight loss, blood pressure, and glycemic control after RYGB, but greater improvements in HDL cholesterol and CEC levels after SG.

Objectives: Choledochal cyst excision (CDCE) with hepaticojejunostomy is standard of care in choledochal cysts. Complications related to inadequate healing of distal stump like post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) and bleeds have not been addressed in literature. We report two decade experience with these complications following CDCE.

Intussusception is an uncommon problem in the adult population. Interestingly, it is also a rare late complication after gastric bypass. We report the case of a 73-year-old woman with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in 2004 complicated by jejunal intussusception in 2011 for which a small bowel resection was performed.

Introduction: An isolated bile leakage is a relatively rare type of postoperative bile leakage. Most isolated bile leakages require invasive procedures such as surgical approaches.
Presentation Of Cases: The right hepatic duct was intraoperatively injured during right anterior sectionectomy.
