With rising childhood obesity rates, the sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most common bariatric surgery procedure. This surgical technique may result in ischemia to the upper pole of the spleen. While g...
We retrospectively reviewed 142 surgical videos and medical records from adolescents at our center who underwent SG from 2010 through 2018. The videos were evaluated for splenic ischemia and for the p...
We found a 31% incidence of splenic ischemia in the cases reviewed. We identified division of segmental vessels to the upper pole as increasing the relative risk of splenic ischemia by 2.3 (p = 0.0055...
The incidence of splenic ischemia during an SG in our adolescent population was higher than in other reports. Division of separate polar vessels increased the incidence of localized splenic ischemia. ...
Remnant gastric ischemia is the most significant complication in distal pancreatectomy (DP) after distal gastrectomy (DG). Some studies have reported the safety of asynchronous DP in patients who unde...
Obesity has an especial implication for women of childbearing age because of a higher risk of adverse outcomes during pregnancy and labor. This report aimed to analyze complications of pregnancy after...
A retrospective descriptive-analytical study was conducted including women of childbearing age who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG) from 2006 to 2017. Patients were divided into two groups regarding ...
During the studied time, 51 pregnancies with complete clinical records were found. The mean weight and gestational age (GA) of the newborn (NB) were normal. The mean time from surgery to pregnancy was...
After SG, no differences in terms of maternal and neonatal complications were found concerning the time between surgery and pregnancy....
Proximal gastrectomy (PG) offers advantages over total gastrectomy (TG) in enhancing the postoperative nutritional status of patients with proximal gastric cancer (PGC), yet its effect on long-term qu...
We conducted a systematic search of English-language articles from the PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases, covering studies published up to February 2023. Key evaluation endpoints ...
Six retrospective cohort studies were included in the analysis. The PG group demonstrated no significant negative impact on surgical outcomes compared to the TG group. Notably, patients who underwent ...
This study provides compelling evidence that PG is superior to TG in enhancing postoperative health condition for patients with proximal gastric cancer, without compromising surgical outcomes. However...
Previous studies have focused on the non-inferiority of RPG compared with conventional port gastrectomy (CPG); however, we assumed that some candidates might derive more significant benefit from RPG o...
We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological and perioperative parameters of 1442 patients with gastric cancer treated by gastrectomy between 2009 and 2022. The C-reactive protein level on post...
Of 1442 patients, 889, 354, 129, and 70 were grouped as STGD1+, STGD2, TGD1+, and TGD2, respectively. Compared with CPG, RPG significantly decreased CRPD3 only among patients in the STGD1+ group (CPG:...
The best candidates for RPG are patients who undergo STGD1+, followed by STGD2 and TG D1+, considering the reduction in CRPD3, bowel recovery, and hospital stay....
The clinical benefits of bariatric surgery are well-established, but the impact of bariatric surgery on psychosocial outcomes such as health-related quality of life (HRQL) is less clear. The aim of th...
A single unit cross-sectional analysis of a prospective study is done on QOL in 51 patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at tertiary hospital. QOL was assessed by WHOQOL-BREF (World Heal...
The median scores given by patients before surgery were 14, 21, 42, 40 and 12.5 for each of the parameters physical, psychological, social, environmental and overall well-being respectively. The media...
Through this study, we emphasize the need for the selection of a standardised scale by international organisations to compare the different studies. By proving the significant differences in the QOL o...
There are few studies published referring to bariatric surgery in patients older than 70 years. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there are benefits to performing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in...
Data were retrospectively collected from a Private Clinic's electronic medical records of patients undergoing SG between June 2017 and September 2020. Inclusion criteria were patients older than 70 ye...
Fifty patients were included in the study. Both groups were similar regarding gender, weight, BMI, and presence of DM. The 30-day morbidity and mortality were similar between the groups. The patients ...
The sleeve gastrectomy surgery performed in patients over 70 years of age is safe. The early results suggest similar benefits regarding weight loss and improvement of comorbidities to those having SG ...
Severe adhesions in patients with previous abdominal operations may lead to a more challenging subsequent bariatric surgery [1, 2]. In this context, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the preferred weight los...
A 40-year-old female with a BMI of 36 kg/m...
On postoperative day 2, the patient returned to the emergency department with abdominal pain, increased heart rate (120 per minute), and a white blood cell count (WBC) of 20,000 th/µL. The CT scan sho...
Pancreatic leak is a rare but potentially severe complication after SG, especially in the difficult abdomen....
In some earlier studies, self-pulling and later transection (SPLT) esophagojejunostomy (E-J) was incorporated into total laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) procedures. Its effectiveness and safety,...
This research analyzed patients with gastric cancer who received SPLT-TLTG or LATG between January 2019 and December 2021 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. Baseline dat...
A total of 83 patients who underwent SPLT-TLTG (n = 40, 48.2%) or LATG (n = 43, 51.8%) were included in this study. There were no differences between the two groups in terms of patient demographics or...
SPLT-TLTG is a dependable and safe surgical method for the treatment of gastric cancer. Its short-term outcomes were similar to those of conventional E-J in LATG and had advantages regarding surgical ...
