Gastric adenocarcinoma is an aggressive disease and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Surgery entails either a total or a subtotal gastrectomy. These complex operations carry elevate...
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....
Obesity is a modern-day epidemic that places a significant and growing burden on the health systems of societies and their financial resources....
Our prospective, descriptive clinical study aimed to investigate the effect of laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery in morbidly obese patients through a one-year follow-up....
In our study, we included 151 patients who underwent laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery. We performed cardiac ultrasound, respiratory function and laboratory tests for pre-operative examination, poss...
Patients' body mass index decreased by 26.9% in the first six months and by 35.4% overall at one year, and body fat percentage decreased by 26.2% and 35%, respectively, over the same time intervals. T...
Based on the one-year follow-up data, the surgery was effective in weight loss, but long-term results can be expected at the five-year assessment, as there is a risk of repeated weight gain. Based on ...
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is an effective weight loss procedure in the short term. If conservative treatment is ineffective, it is worthwhile to steer the patient towards invasive procedures as ...
According to the 5th edition of the Japanese Guidelines for the Treatment of Gastric Cancer, proximal gastrectomy is recommended for patients with early upper gastric cancer who can retain the distal ...
Data were retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, and Cochrane Library up to June 2023, and included treatment outcomes after proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction and total gastrectom...
After screening, 11 studies were finally included, including 1154 patients. Results from the combined literature showed that total gastrectomy had a significant advantage over proximal gastrectomy wit...
Proximal gastrectomy with double-tract anastomosis is a safe and feasible treatment for upper gastric carcinoma. However, the operating time was slightly longer in the proximal gastrectomy with double...
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been used safely and effectively in patients with gastric cancer. Our aim was to evaluate the short-term outcomes of total gastrectomy (TG) versus distal gas...
Today, bariatric procedures are common. These surgeries' difficulties are classified as patient- or surgical team-related and are estimated by body mass index (BMI). More efficient methods are needed ...
This was a prospective retrospective data analysis study. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy patients seen between May and October 2022 were included in the analysis and divided into three groups, accord...
In all, 151 patients were included in the study; of these, 124 (82.1%) were women and 27 (17.9%) were men. Their mean BMI value was 41.1 ± 6.2. Based on expert's opinion, we classified three groups: e...
This is the first study to anticipate sleeve gastrectomy difficulty using SFT and TFT. This is an easy technique to apply and no additional costs. Anticipating difficulties based on these criteria can...
Pregnancy weight gain may affect the association of bariatric surgery with postsurgery pregnancy outcomes. However, the association of pregnancy weight gain with bariatric surgery is unclear....
To compare pregnancy weight gain among women with a history of bariatric surgery vs those without and to investigate whether pregnancy weight gain differs by surgical procedure, surgery-to-conception ...
This nationwide, population-based matched cohort study was conducted in Sweden from 2014 to 2021. Singleton pregnancies with a history of bariatric surgery were propensity score matched (1:1) to pregn...
History of bariatric surgery....
Pregnancy weight gain was standardized by gestational age into early-pregnancy BMI-specific z scores....
This study included 12 776 pregnancies, of which 6388 had a history of bariatric surgery and 6388 were matched controls. The mean (SD) age was 31.6 (4.9) years for the surgery group and 31.4 (5.2) for...
In this nationwide matched cohort study, women with a history of bariatric surgery had lower pregnancy weight gain than matched controls with similar early-pregnancy characteristics. Pregnancy weight ...
The main treatment modality for gastric cancer is surgical resection with lymphadenectomy. Despite advances in perioperative care, major surgical complications can occur in up to 20% of cases. To dete...
To assess the rate of FTR after gastrectomy and factors associated with its occurrence....
Patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy with curative intent were retrospectively evaluated. According to the occurrence of postoperative complications, patients were divided into FTR g...
Among the 731 patients, 114 had major complications. Of these patients, 76 (66.7%) were successfully treated for the complication (rescued group), while 38 (33.3%) died (FTR group). Patients in the FT...
The FTR rate was 33.3%. Advanced age, worse performance, and nutritional parameters were associated with FTR....
