A Randomized Comparison Between Staple-Line Oversewing Versus No Reinforcement During Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Background: Varieties of intraoperative methods such as oversewing of staple lines or other reinforcement products are used for preventing the laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) complications. The aim of this study is to evaluate the complication rates of the gastric stapling alone versus stapling with oversewing invagination of the staple line in the LSG.

Methods: This is a single-center randomized study, Patients were randomized to two groups, 200 patients underwent LSG without reinforcement of the staple line and 200 patients underwent LSG with oversewing of the staple line.

Outcomes of One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass in 472 Diabetic Patients.

Background: The positive impact of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on metabolic syndrome and glycemic control has been proven in obese patients. One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is a simple, effective and easy to learn procedure. OAGB provides encouraging results for the treatment of diabetes obese patients, but does it have the ability to be an alternative procedure to RYGB in the treatment of these patients? The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of OAGB on diabetic obese patients at the bariatric centre of our university hospital.

Outcomes of Omega Loop Gastric Bypass, 6-Years Experience of 1520 Cases.

Background: Omega loop gastric bypass (OLGB) has been viewed with skepticism after the failure of the "old Mason loop." During the past 15 years, a growing number of authors worldwide approved that OLGB is a safe and effective procedure, which appears clearly from the operative outcome and long-term follow-up of consecutive cohort studies of patients who underwent OLGB. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of OLGB at the bariatric center of our university hospital between 2009 and 2015.
