Classification of Slippage Following Laparoscopic BariClip Gastroplasty.

October 2023
ELSAN, Clinique Bouchard, Marseille, France.
Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic BariClip gastroplasty (LBCG) is a new, reversible weight-loss procedure, but it can lead to complications such as slippage, which the study aims to classify and analyze.
- A review of 381 LBCG patients revealed a 4.46% incidence of slippage, with symptoms mostly involving vomiting and nausea, and a new classification based on the timing and type of slippage was proposed.
- The management of slippage cases included removal of the BariClip, repositioning, or conservative treatment, with various displacement types identified via radiological studies.
Evolving Technique of Laparoscopic Vertical Gastric Clip Placement.

April 2023
Chicago Institute of Advanced Surgery, Chicago, IL, USA.
Introduction: Laparoscopic BariClip gastroplasty (LBCG) will address a similar tubular restriction than the one achieved with the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) at the level of the gastric fundus, while maintaining the advantage of simplicity and anatomic preservation. The purpose of the current study was to analyze the risk of slippage and to present the evolving technique by adding gastro-gastric plication of the gastric wall covering the BariClip at those areas where the gastric wall "slips" between the limbs of the clip.
Methods: All patients undergoing LBCG with the evolving technique of gastric plication around the device associated with antral gastroplasty from January 2021 to May 2022 were included in the study group (group A).
Guidelines for the performance of minimally invasive splenectomy.
Surg Endosc
November 2021
Department of Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, USA.
Background: Minimally invasive splenectomy (MIS) is increasingly favored for the treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the spleen over open access approaches. While many studies cite the superiority of MIS in terms of decreased morbidity and length of stay over a traditional open approach, the comparative effectiveness of specific technical and peri-operative approaches to MIS is unclear.
Objective: To develop evidence-based guidelines that support clinicians, patients, and others in decisions on the peri-operative performance of MIS.

July 2021
ELSAN, Clinique Saint Michel, Toulon, France; Clinica Madonna della Salute, Department of Digestive and Bariatric Surgery, Porto Viro, Italy.
Background: The process of reintroducing bariatric surgery to our communities in a COVID-19 environment was particular to each country. Furthermore, no clear recommendation was made for patients with a previous COVID-19 infection and a favorable outcome who were seeking bariatric surgery.
Objectives: To analyze the risks of specific complications for patients with previous COVID-19 infection who were admitted for bariatric surgery.
