Remodifying Omentopexy Technique Used with Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Does It Change any Outcomes?

Background: Gastric obstructions, leaks and staple line bleeding are reported after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). There is no ideal method or technique to avoid these mishaps. We added modified omentopexy (OP) to LSG to determine if there is any effect on gastric leaks and some other complications.

Effect of long-term proton pump inhibitor therapy on hemoglobin and serum iron levels after sleeve gastrectomy.

Background: Iron deficiency anemia and iron deficiency are commonly seen after bariatric surgery. Gastroesophageal reflux disease is commonly associated with sleeve resections and warrants postoperative acid reducing therapy.

Objective: To analyze the impact of long-term proton pump inhibitors on iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) patients.

An unusual case of perisplenic small bowel volvulus after laparoscopic Roux En Y gastric bypass.

Internal hernias (IH) are one of the dreadful complications of laparoscopic Roux En Y gastric bypass (LGBP). Commonly reported internal hernias (IH) following Roux En Y gastric bypass (LGBP) in the literature are meso-colic, meso jejunal and Peterson's space hernias. These patients may not have any definitive symptoms.
