Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is an effective treatment option for patients with obesity. Robotic sleeve gastrectomy (RSG) is reported to have worse short-term patient outcomes compared to laparoscopic SG (LSG), but prior studies may not have accounted for evolving technology, including stapler utilization. OBJECTIVE This study compared RSG and LSG outcomes over different time periods. SETTING Academic Hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS The 2015 to 2021 Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Project (MBSAQIP) databases were used. Matched cohort analyses compared adverse outcomes within 30 days for the 2015-2018 and 2019-2021 cohorts. Bivariate and regression models compared cohorts using Stata/MP 17.0. RESULTS Seven hundred sixty-eight thousand and sixty-nine SG were analyzed. Over the 7-year study period, all patient outcomes, operation length (OL), and length of stay (LOS) trended downward for RSG, except surgical site infection (SSI). In the 2015-2018 cohort, leak was significantly higher with RSG (OR 1.53), and OL and LOS longer (p < 0.001). In the 2019-2021 cohort which corelated with a significant increase in robotic cases, leak (OR 1.36), SSI (OR 1.46), and morbidity (OR 1.11) were higher with RSG. While the mean difference in OL and LOS decreased between the two time periods, they remain longer for RSG (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION While RSG and LSG are safe with similar mortality, RSG continues to be associated with higher rates of morbidity, leak, and SSI, as well as longer OL, hospital LOS, and higher cost. The study is limited by the ability to account for the impact of surgeon experience and stapler utilization on outcomes.

Abstract
Background Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become a widely accepted bariatric procedure for treating morbid obesity and associated comorbidities due to its relatively straightforward technique and positive outcomes in terms of weight loss and metabolic improvement. Objective To investigate the frequency and types of early complications following LSG using four ports. Methods This prospective observational study was conducted at Al Hadi International Hospital, Swabi, Pakistan, from January 2022 to December 2022. A total of 369 patients aged 25-65 years with a BMI of 35-55 kg/m2 were included. Data on demographic characteristics, surgery duration, intraoperative blood loss, and hospital stay were collected. Early complications within 30 days post-surgery, including bleeding, infection, and leakage, were documented. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26 (Released 2019; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States). Results The mean age of patients was 43.6 years (SD = 11.8) and the mean BMI was 42.3 kg/m2 (SD = 6.5). The average surgery duration was 92 minutes (SD = 22) and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 100 mL (SD = 50). Early complications occurred in 18% of patients with bleeding, infection, and leakage each accounting for 5%, 4%, and 3%, respectively. Reoperation was required in 5% of patients due to these complications. Higher BMI (45.2 vs. 41.8 kg/m2, p = 0.04) and longer surgery duration (105 vs. 88 minutes, p = 0.03) were significantly associated with increased complication rates. Comorbidities were present in 60% of patients with complications compared to 34% without complications (p = 0.03). Conclusion The four-port technique in LSG is associated with an 18% early complication rate with significant risk factors being higher BMI and longer surgery duration. Careful patient selection, standardized surgical techniques, and robust postoperative care are essential to minimize complications and improve outcomes in LSG.

Staple Line Reinforcement during Sleeve Gastrectomy with SeamGuard: Single-Center Retrospective Case-Control Study over a 5-Year Period. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3410. [PMID: 38929935 PMCID: PMC11203928 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13123410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Various techniques and reinforcements have been proposed over the years in order to prevent leaks and bleeding after sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The aim of this study was to retrospectively compare the staple line complication (SLC) rate in patients who underwent LSG with the use of bioabsorbable membrane (GORE® SEAMGUARD®, GoR) for staple line versus those who received no reinforcement. Methods: Data on all consecutive patients undergoing LSG between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: the GoR+ group if the SeamGuard (GoR) was used and the GoR- group if no reinforcement was applied on the staple line. Preoperative demographics and rate of SLC were compared between groups. All cases of SLC coming from other centers were also reviewed. Results: A total number of 626 LSGs were performed at our institution during the study period. GoR was applied in 450 (71.9%) cases (GoR+ group), while NR was used in 176 (28.1%) patients (GoR- group). Two (1.13%) cases of leaking and two (1.13%) cases of bleeding occurred in the GoR- group, while no SLC was recorded in patients who received GoR (p < 0.05). Thirteen cases of SLC coming from other institutions were treated at our hospital; all these cases were performed without any SLR. Conclusion: In our case series, the use of GoR reduced the rate of SLC after LSG. In all cases of SLC coming from other institutions, no reinforcement had been applied on the staple line during LSG.

[PMID: 39006652 PMCID: PMC11246755 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.62383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Following vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), the role of eating behaviors in weight regain remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the effects of VSG on excess weight loss (EWL) and five eating-related variables (food addiction, disinhibition, susceptibility to hunger, dietary restraint, and weight concern) while exploring their associations before and eight months post-surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A sample of 76 participants who underwent VSG was recruited from a healthcare center in Quebec, Canada. Measurements included body mass index (BMI), the Eating Disorder Examination (weight concern), the Yale Food Addiction Scale (food addiction), and the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (disinhibition, susceptibility to hunger, and dietary restraint). T-tests were conducted between pre-surgery (T0) and eight-month post-surgery (T8), and correlations were examined between T0 and T8, within T0, and within T8. RESULTS The mean EWL was 63.43% ± 13.14 at T8. Comparisons between T0 and T8 showed a significant decrease in food addiction, disinhibition, and susceptibility to hunger (p = 0.001-0.005). No significant differences were observed for dietary restraint and weight concerns. BMI at T0 was negatively correlated with EWL at T8 (r = -0.45). Within T0, a negative correlation was observed between food addiction and dietary restraint (r = -0.42), which changed from negative to positive within T8 (r = 0.35). CONCLUSIONS This study confirmed that VSG is effective for weight loss and associated with a reduction in maladaptive eating behaviors. Postsurgery, individuals with greater food addiction exhibited more dietary restraint, suggesting a need for restraint among those experiencing a strong drive toward food. However, weight concerns remained high even after significant weight loss, indicating that weight loss alone may not be sufficient for change. A postsurgery medical follow-up focusing on overall well-being and lifestyle adaptation would be a crucial complement.

Surg Obes Relat Dis 2024:S1550-7289(24)00628-2. [PMID: 38991936 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2024.04.452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most commonly performed metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) procedure. Technical considerations related to the performance of SG are well established and reported in the literature but not in relation to robotic-assisted (RA) SG. We report the results of the first modified Delphi consensus-building exercise addressing technical considerations of RA da Vinci (dV) SG. OBJECTIVES Develop best practices for the performance of robotic-assisted da Vinci sleeve gastrectomy. SETTING Survey based consensus statement. METHODS A consensus building committee (CBC) was created comprising 10 experts in the field of RA surgery and MBS based on strict selection criteria. The CBC developed 49 consensus statements which were then shared with 240 experts in RA surgery. Our stopping criterion was stability in responses (≤15%). The consensus cut point was 70%. RESULTS The overall response rate was 49%. In the first round of voting, there was consensus agreement on 25 statements (51%), consensus disagreement on 14 (28%), and no consensus on the remaining statements (21%). In the second round of voting, we reached agreement on 3 additional statements. Experts recommended the use of the number of pauses generated by the stapler to guide choice of staple height (91.2%) and to upsize the staple height when using buttressing (92%). There was also consensus (81.4%) that the use of the closed staple height of 1.00 mm (white) is acceptable and that stapling of the antrum using a 1.5-mm staple (blue load) is also acceptable (73%). CONCLUSIONS Collective expert opinion structured through a modified Delphi consensus statement presents a practical guide for surgeons interested in performing dV-SG.

The Efficacy and Safety of Endoscopic Balloon Dilatation in the Treatment of Functional Post-Sleeve-Gastrectomy Stenosis. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:833. [PMID: 38793016 PMCID: PMC11123478 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60050833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Functional gastric stenosis, a consequence of sleeve gastrectomy, is defined as a rotation of the gastric tube along its longitudinal axis. It is brought on by gastric twisting without the anatomical constriction of the gastric lumen. During endoscopic examination, the staple line is deviated with a clockwise rotation, and the stenosis requires additional endoscopic manipulations for its transposition. Upper gastrointestinal series show the gastric twist with an upstream dilatation of the gastric tube in some patients. Data on its management have remained scarce. The objective was to assess the efficacy and safety of endoscopic balloon dilatation in the management of functional post-sleeve gastrectomy stenosis. Patients and Methods: Twenty-two patients with functional post-primary-sleeve-gastrectomy stenosis who had an endoscopic balloon dilatation between 2017 and 2023 were included in this retrospective study. Patients with alternative treatment plans and those undergoing endoscopic dilatation for other forms of gastric stenosis were excluded. The clinical outcomes were used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of balloon dilatation in the management of functional gastric stenosis. Results: A total of 45 dilatations were performed with a 30 mm balloon in 22 patients (100%), a 35 mm balloon in 18 patients (81.82%), and a 40 mm balloon in 5 patients (22.73%). The patients' clinical responses after the first balloon dilatation were a complete clinical response (4 patients, 18.18%), a partial clinical response (12 patients, 54.55%), and a non-response (6 patients, 27.27%). Nineteen patients (86.36%) had achieved clinical success at six months. Three patients (13.64%) who remained symptomatic even after achieving the maximal balloon dilation of 40 mm were considered failure of endoscopic dilatation, and they were referred for surgical intervention. No significant adverse events were found during or following the balloon dilatation. Conclusions: Endoscopic balloon dilatation is an effective and safe minimally invasive procedure in the management of functional post-sleeve-gastrectomy stenosis.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is a commonly performed procedure for patients who have failed to achieve weight loss through medical and lifestyle interventions. However, the altered gastrointestinal anatomy resulting from the surgery can significantly impact the bioavailability of antidepressants in patients with generalized anxiety disorder, potentially leading to uncontrolled anxiety symptoms. This case report describes a patient with generalized anxiety disorder who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and subsequently experienced increased anxiety symptoms due to poor antidepressant bioavailability. The patient's medication was adjusted to a sublingual formulation, resulting in improved anxiety control and reduced side effects. Healthcare providers should be aware of the potential impact of bariatric surgery on medication absorption and closely monitor patients with generalized anxiety disorder for potential psychiatric medication-related complications postoperatively. The use of alternative routes of administration, such as sublingual medication, may be beneficial in improving drug bioavailability and managing anxiety symptoms. Creating awareness in primary care offices about poor drug absorption and using alternatives such as the sublingual route of administration to achieve optimal systemic delivery requires a multifaceted approach involving education and training for healthcare providers as well as patient education to ensure they are informed and engaged in their own care. By implementing these strategies, primary care providers can improve patient outcomes and prevent unnecessary referrals to specialists.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has gained worldwide popularity by surgeons due to acceptable results in weight loss and obesity-associated medical problems. Distance from the pylorus during antral resection in SG may be effective in decreasing the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The aim of this study was to evaluate GERD symptoms and weight loss outcomes in two groups of SG patients with different start points of antral resection. METHODS This is a prospective cohort study on 220 patients who underwent SG between June 2019 and July 2021, aged 18 and above, BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2, or BMI > 35 kg/m2 with at least one obesity-associated medical problem. According to the start point of antral resection the patients were divided in two groups (group A: from 2 cm of pylorus and group B: from 4 cm of pylorus). Evaluation of GERD was performed using GerdQ questionnaire at 12-month follow up. RESULTS Mean age and BMI of all patients were 37.6 ± 10 year and 44.8 ± 5.7 kg/m2 at the time of SG. Totally 153(69.5%) of the patients were female. De novo GERD after 12 months in the groups A and B was found in 18 (20%) and 19 (21%) patients. TWL% at 12-month follow ups, were 33.9% and 32.5% in group A and B, respectively. CONCLUSION Antral resection's start point has no statistically significant effect on the excess and total weight loss indices, resolution of the obesity-related medical problems and De novo GERD between 2 and 4 cm start point for antral resection during SG.

Abstract
Introduction: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become the most common bariatric surgery procedure. Bleeding is the most common complication of this surgery and mostly occurs from the staple line. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether waiting between compression and firing during the stapling phase reduces the postoperative bleeding. Methods: A total of 325 patients who underwent LSG between April and July 2022 were analyzed prospectively. In terms of postoperative bleeding, the two groups, which we waited 30 seconds between staple firings and the no wait group, were compared. Results: The mean age of patients was 37.36 (±11.12) years and mean body mass index was 45.18 (±3.1) kg/m2. Eleven patients needed transfusion. The rate of haemorrhagic complications was 3.38% (Group 1% 6.21 and Group 2% 1.11) (P = .012). The duration of surgery was ∼10 minutes longer in the study group, which we waited (P = .0001). Conclusions: During the stapling stage in LSG, waiting between compression and firing can help reduce postoperative bleeding.

Intermediate to long-term weight regain is a major challenge following sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Physiological changes that mediate the extent of weight loss remain unclear. We aimed to determine if there were specific esophago-gastric transit and emptying alterations associated with weight regain.
Material and Methods
Participants greater than 12 months post-SG were categorized into optimal (n = 29) and poor weight loss (PWL) (n = 72). All patients underwent a liquid contrast barium swallow demonstrating normal post-surgical anatomy and a protocolized nuclear scintigraphy designed specifically to characterize gastric emptying following SG.
Results
The %total weight loss in the optimal group was 26.2 ± 10.5 vs. 14.3 ± 8.8% in the PWL group (p = 0.001). Scintigraphy showed PWL had relatively increased gastric emptying half-time (GE 1/2t) 35 (IQR 23) min vs 19 (IQR 5.5) min (p = 0.001). The multivariate regressions delineated GE 1/2t as the best diagnostic measure for PWL (OR 1.16; CI 1.04–1.29, p-value 0.021). The probability of PWL increased by 16% for every 1-min increase above 21 min of GE 1/2t. A threshold of 21 min was found to have 88% sensitivity and 69% specificity predicting poor weight loss.
Conclusion
Gastric emptying half-times greater than 21 min appear to reliably correlate with poor weight loss following SG. Additionally, further elevations above 21 min in emptying half-time increase the risk of poor weight loss. We have shown nuclear scintigraphy represents a simple and accurate diagnostic tool in patients who experience poor weight loss after SG, provided substantially altered reporting references in interpreting nuclear scintigraphy are applied.

Clapp B, Kara AM, Nguyen-Lee PJ, Alvarado L, Marr JD, Annabi HM, Davis B, Ghanem OM. Does the use of bioabsorbable mesh for hiatal hernia repair at the time of bariatric surgery reduce recurrence rates? A meta-analysis. Surg Obes Relat Dis 2022; 18:1407-1415. [PMID: 36104252 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2022.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2022] [Revised: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anywhere from 16% to 37% of patients undergoing bariatric and metabolic surgery are estimated to have a hiatal hernia. To address the lack of long-term data showing the efficacy of bioabsorbable mesh in reducing the recurrence of hiatal hernia in patients who undergo bariatric surgery, we evaluated the world literature and performed a meta-analysis. OBJECTIVE To evaluate hiatal hernia recurrence rates after placement of bioabsorbable mesh in bariatric patients. SETTING Meta-analysis of world literature. METHODS We performed a literature search using PubMed and MEDLINE with search terms including "hiatal hernia recurrence," "bariatric surgery," "bioabsorbable mesh," "Gore BIO-A," and "trimethylene carbonate." Analysis was conducted to compare surgical time, length of stay, recurrence rate, hernia size, and changes in body mass index before and after surgery between mesh-group (MG) and nonmesh (NM) patients. The meta-analysis was described using standardized mean difference, weighted mean difference, effect size, and 95% confidence interval (CI). An I2 statistic was computed to assess heterogeneity. RESULTS Twelve studies with 1351 patients were included in our meta-analysis. Four studies had both an MG and an NM group. There were 668 patients in the MG and 683 patients in the NM group. Hernia size noted in the NM group (7 cm2) was compared with that in the MG (6.5 cm2) (95% CI: 3.89-9.14; P = .86). The MG had fewer recurrences than the NM group (effect size, 2% versus 14%; 95% CI: -.26 to -.02; P = .027). The average follow-up was 28.8 months for the MG and 32.8 months for the NM group. CONCLUSION Repair with bioabsorbable mesh at the time of the index bariatric surgery is more effective at reducing the recurrence rate of hiatal hernia than suture cruroplasty. Further studies investigating the long-term outcomes of bioabsorbable mesh placed at the time of bariatric surgery are needed.

Abstract
Introduction and importance Menetrier's disease is a rare type of hypertrophic gastropathy characterized by the atrophy of the gastric parietal cells and dilatation of mucus releasing glands. Hereby, we present a morbid obese patient who has undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and he has also diagnosed with Menetrier's disease. Case presentation A 67-year-old male patient whose body mass index (BMI) was 39 kg/m2. Preoperative endoscopy was done. There were no pathologies except increased gastric mucosal folds. LSG was done. During the surgery it was noticed that gastric tissue was abnormally thick. After LSG completed, it was observed that there was an abnormal bleeding from the staple line. The staple line was oversewed with 3.0 V-Loc™ and bleeding was stopped. Pathology report was compatible with menetrier's disease. Clinical discussion Hypoalbuminemia and H. pylori take an important place in diagnosis of Menetrier's disease, but H. pylori was not detected and albumin level was normal in our patient. For certain diagnosis full-thickness gastric biopsy is needed. The routine use of preoperative endoscopy in patients scheduled for bariatric surgery was still controversial until recently. Conclusion This is the first case with menetrier's disease that has undergone LSG. Preoperative endoscopic evaluation before bariatric surgery is crucial. As in this case, it will be effective in terms performing additional intraoperative precautions when necessary and preventing possible complications.

Abstract
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has demonstrated excellent outcomes in terms of weight loss and resolution of obesity-related comorbidities as a single procedure. It has gained rapidly increasing popularity among bariatric surgeons and patients over the last two decades. This is due to its relative ease of use and less frequent morbidities related to the procedure. Even though the overall complication rate after SG is reported to be lower than conventional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or biliopancreatic diversion, it still affects 1-10% of the patients undergoing SG, which is not negligible. Early postoperative complications that can occur within 30 days after SG include hemorrhage, leakage, sleeve stenosis, and reflux. Thromboembolic events are rare but can occur after surgery. Here, we review the incidence, diagnosis, and management of these early postoperative complications.

Pneumatic Balloon Dilation of Gastric Sleeve Stenosis Is Not Associated with Weight Regain. Obes Surg 2022; 32:1-6. [PMID: 35380359 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-05957-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2021] [Revised: 01/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric sleeve stenosis (GSS) occurs in up to 4% of patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Typical symptoms include reflux, abdominal pain, dysphagia, and regurgitation. Serial pneumatic balloon dilation (PBD) is a successful treatment in many cases obviating the need for revisional surgery, but the potential for weight regain is unknown. The aim of the current study was to assess weight trends following serial pneumatic dilation for GSS. METHODS Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of patients undergoing serial PBD for GSS at one institution. Primary outcome was change in BMI before and after serial PBD. Secondary outcomes included complication rates and need for revisional surgery. Sub-group analyses were performed to determine the relationship of patient and procedural factors to BMI after PBD. RESULTS Forty-four patients met inclusion criteria, 34 (84.1%) women. Mean age was 46.7 (SD 11.9). Mean pre-sleeve BMI was 47.8 (SD 9.2), and mean BMI prior to first dilation was 34.2 (SD 6.8). Median follow-up was 395 days (range 48-571). Mean BMI at time of last follow up was 33.7 (SD 6.7). There was no statistical difference in BMI pre- or post-PBD (p 0.980). The lowest 10th and highest 90th BMI percentile trended toward a higher and lower BMI after PBD, respectively, though not significant. DISCUSSION As the prevalence of sleeve gastrectomy continues to rise, an increasing number of patients will require treatment for GSS. Stenosis is effectively treated with serial PBD in most patients without any impact on weight gain, making this an effective and appealing option for many patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become the most common bariatric surgical method in recent years. Although LSG provides good outcomes, serious complications such as leakage, bleeding, and stenosis may develop postoperatively. Numerous staple line reinforcement methods have been used to reduce complications. Whether each one of these practices is effective remains controversial. AIM Our study aims to assess outcomes and safety of modified (purse-string+oversewing) staple line suturing technique for patients who underwent LSG. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 505 patients who underwent LSG with modified staple line suturing technique between March 2018 and February 2021 were included in this retrospective study. Age, sex, body mass index, operation time, perioperative and postoperative 30-day complications were recorded in all patients. RESULTS Of 505 patients (59.6% female) with a mean age of 37.6 years (minimum to maximum: 12 to 68 y) and median body mass index of 40.2 kg/m2 (minimum to maximum: 32 to 75 kg/m2) underwent LSG. LSG was performed as revision surgery in 17 (3.4%) patients. Five (1%) patients also underwent concomitant cholecystectomy. The mean operation time was 92 minutes (75 to 110 min) in our primary LSG cases. Operative complications included minor hepatic injury in 8 (1.6%) and anesthesia awareness in 3 (0.6%) patients. Postoperative complications included bleeding which occurred in 2 (0.4%) patients, portomesenteric vein thrombosis in 1 (0.2%), and minor wound infection in 3 (0.6%) patients. There was no leak, no stenosis, and no mortality. CONCLUSION Sleeve gastrectomy with modified staple line suturing technique is an effective method and could be safely applied with low morbidity.

Abstract
The laparoscopic approach for dealing with bariatric complications has become the gold standard of modern practice. The aim of this study is to assess the role of relaparoscopy as a diagnostic and therapeutic approach towards managing complications and improving 30-day outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database was conducted in a tertiary bariatric unit. Data were collected on all bariatric surgical procedures performed between March 2013 and March 2019. Any patient who was returned to theatre for a suspected serious complication was identified and their outcome studied. RESULTS Over the 5-year study period, the total number of operations performed was 1660 (981 laparoscopic gastric bypass (LRYGB), 612 laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and 67 revisional bariatric operations). Early postoperative complications (in hospital or within 30 days of surgery) that lead to reoperation were recorded in 33 patients (1.9%). These complications occurred after LRYGB in 26 patients (2.65%) and LSG in 7 patients (1.14%), respectively. Anastomotic leaks occurred in 1.1% of LRYGB, whilst 0.6% of patients have jejuno-jejunostomy obstruction. Obstruction at the gastro-jejunostomy anastomosis occurred in one patient. Following LSG, one mortality was recorded following bleeding from the staple line (0.06%) and five patients (0.3%) had leaks from the staple line. Thirty-one reoperations were performed laparoscopically, and two were converted to the open approach, whilst 2 operations were planned as open from the outset. CONCLUSION Relaparoscopy is an effective and safe approach to the management of clinically or radiologically suspected early complications after bariatric surgery. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of de novo gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after LSG is substantial. However, an objective correlation with the structural gastric and EGJ changes has not been demonstrated yet. We aimed to prospectively evaluate the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on the structure and function of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) and stomach. METHODS Investigations were performed before and after > 50% reduction in excess body weight (6-12 months after LSG). Subjects with GERD at baseline were excluded. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), high-resolution manometry (HRM), and ambulatory pH-impedance measurements were used to assess the structure and function of the EGJ and stomach before and after LSG. RESULTS From 35 patients screened, 23 (66%) completed the study (age 36 ± 10 years, BMI 42 ± 5 kg/m2). Mean excess weight loss was 59 ± 18% after 7.1 ± 1.7-month follow-up. Esophageal acid exposure (2.4 (1.5-3.2) to 5.1 (2.8-7.3); p = 0.040 (normal < 4.0%)) and reflux events increased after surgery (57 ± 24 to 84 ± 38; p = 0.006 (normal < 80/day)). Esophageal motility was not altered by surgery; however, intrabdominal EGJ length and pressure were reduced (both p < 0.001); whereas the esophagogastric insertion angle (35° ± 11° to 51° ± 16°; p = 0.0004 (normal < 60°)) and esophageal opening diameter (16.9 ± 2.8 mm to 18.0 ± 3.7 mm; p = 0.029) were increased. The increase in reflux events correlated with changes in EGJ insertion angle (p = 0.010). Patients with > 80% reduction in gastric capacity (TGV) had the highest prevalence of symptomatic GERD. CONCLUSION LSG has multiple effects on the EGJ and stomach that facilitate reflux. In particular, EGJ disruption as indicated by increased (more obtuse) esophagogastric insertion angle and small gastric capacity were associated with the risk of GERD after LSG. clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01980420.

Abstract
Introduction Obesity is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in countries all over the world, and its prevalence has been increasing dramatically in recent years. Bariatric surgery is considered the gold standard of care for patients who failed conservative management. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is of increasing popularity. One of its vicious consequences is the development of acquired fistula between the stomach and the tracheobronchial tract due to intractable gastric leak. Case Report. We are presenting a case of a 25-year-old man who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity, which was complicated with the development of gastrobronchial fistula, despite an unremarkable postoperative course. Conclusion Acquired gastrobronchial fistula due to bariatric surgery is not reported widely in radiologic literature; hence, there is lack of consensus of the diagnostic modality of choice. However, there is a myriad of tests available for diagnosing gastrobronchial fistula, with contrast study of the upper gastrointestinal tract which is the widely accepted diagnostic test.

Implications of Technical Factors in Development of Early Sleeve Stenosis After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: an Analysis Using the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program Database. Obes Surg 2021; 31:2373-2379. [PMID: 33604864 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-021-05288-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2020] [Revised: 02/01/2021] [Accepted: 02/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide. Sleeve stenosis (SS) is a rare complication of LSG and is associated with significant morbidity and economic burden. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and impact of early SS and identify technical factors which may predict its development. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data was extracted from the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) data registry from 2015 to 2018. Patients undergoing primary LSG were included, while patients undergoing revisional bariatric surgery were excluded. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify technical factors associated with SS. RESULTS A total of 389,839 patients (79.4% female) were included with a mean age of 44.2 ± 12.0 years and mean body mass index of 45.1 ± 7.8 kg/m2. SS was rare, occurring in only 0.09% (n=345) of patients within 30 days of the operation. Following multivariable analysis, technical factors associated with early SS included prolonged operative time > 60 min (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.17-1.48, p < 0.001) and a shorter PD (OR 0.864, 95% CI 0.784-0.951, p=0.003). For every 1-cm increase in PD, the odds of SS decreased by 13.6%. CONCLUSION Overall, early SS is a rare complication, affecting only 0.09% of patients undergoing primary LSG. Technical factors associated with 30-day SS included PD and operative time. Though current guidelines suggest a PD as short as 2 cm, our findings suggest this may be associated with an increased risk of early postoperative SS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Post-sleeve gastrectomy (SG) stenoses occur in about 5% of cases. Hydrostatic dilation (HD) and pneumatic dilation (PD) have been proposed as treatments, but efficacy data remain scarce. Objective is to describe long-term efficacy and safety of HD and PD. METHODS This retrospective study in a referral endoscopy center included patients with symptomatic post-SG stenosis treated with endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD). Stenosis was defined as "organic" if luminal narrowing was evident, "functional" for a deformation, or "combined." Endoscopic treatment consisted of ≥ 1 HD (15-20 mm) and/or ≥ 1 PD (30-35 mm). Initial success was defined as improvement of stenosis-related symptoms at 1 month and long-term success as persistence of improvement at last follow-up. RESULTS Forty-four patients (73% women; mean age 45.5 ± 11 years; mean follow-up 26 ± 23 months) underwent EBD between 2013 and 2019. HD and PD were used in 15 (34%) and 29 (66%) patients, respectively, (mean dilation number: 1.8 ± 1.1). Post-SG stenoses were considered organic in 10 (23%), functional in 21 (48%), and combined in 13 (29%) patients. Initial success was achieved in 42 (96%) patients, while 35 (80%) patients had no symptom recurrence at last follow-up. Perforation occurred in one patient. HD was more frequently used in organic stenoses (8/10), while PD in functional and combined stenoses (18/21 and 9/13, respectively; p < 0.001). Rates of success did not differ by type of stenosis. CONCLUSION Endoscopic dilation is an effective treatment for post-SG stenoses, providing long-term symptom relief. PD should be preferred in cases of functional stenoses, and HD used for organic stenoses.

Abstract
Objectives Weight loss is a key component in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This outcome can be potentially achieved by laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). This study aims to determine the efficacy of LSG in reducing weight and to evaluate its impact on controlling T2DM by measuring HbA1c and body mass index (BMI) preoperatively and during the first year following the procedure. Methods This retrospective study was carried out on 340 patients aged ≥15 years who had T2DM and a BMI of ≥ 35 kg/m2. These patients had LSG at King Fahad Hospital Almadinah Almunawwarah KSA between January 2015 and July 2019. Their HbA1c and BMI were measured preoperatively and then postoperatively at less than one month, 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12 months as well as after one year. Results Average BMI dropped consistently from a preoperative BMI of 49.27 kg/m2 to 32.72 kg/m2 at 10-12 months following LSG. A reduction in HbA1c from 8.38% to 6.43% was observed over one year (p = 0.0001). Seventy-five percent of the patients achieved the HbA1c target of 6.5% or less within one year. The remaining 25% of the patients showed improvement in their HbA1c but did not reach the target level. Conclusion This study endorses a positive impact of LSG on both weight loss and diabetic status. There was a significant reduction of both BMI (up to the first year) and HbA1c levels postoperatively.

Resolution of Erosive Esophagitis After Conversion from Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. Obes Surg 2020; 30:4751-4759. [PMID: 32803710 PMCID: PMC7429122 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-020-04913-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2020] [Revised: 08/03/2020] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become the preferred bariatric procedure in many countries. However, there is one shortcoming of LSG in the long-term follow-up, and this is the onset of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis (EE). Conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is considered an option in patients unresponsive to medical therapy. Currently, there is no evidence of EE improvement or resolution after conversion surgery. In this study, we objectively evaluate the effectiveness of RYGB in management of EE with upper endoscopy (EGD) to identify the significant variables in patients with GERD symptoms post LSG refractory to medical therapy and require conversion surgery. METHODS Over a period of 11 years (2008-2019) at Singapore General Hospital, we retrospectively reviewed a prospectively collected database of a cohort of patients whom had conversion surgery to RYGB for refractory GERD and EE after LSG. Patient's endoscopic findings and demographic and anthropometric data were analyzed. RESULTS We identified a total of 14 patients who underwent LSG to RYGB conversions for endoscopic proven erosive esophagitis in our unit during the study period. Eight patients (57.1%) had concurrent hiatal hernia repaired. Nine (64.3%) patients were females. The median age of patients in this cohort was 44 (range 30-61) years. Mean weight and BMI were 87.7 kg (± 19.2) and 32.8 (± 3.09) kg/m2, respectively, on the day of conversion surgery. The median time between LSG and revision to RYGB was 36 (range 6-68) months. Seven patients (50%) had complete resolution of GERD symptoms after conversion, and 6 patients (42.9%) had partial resolution. Six out of 7 patients had complete resolution of EE. There were 4 anastomotic strictures (28.6%). Older patients, Indian ethnicity, present of hiatal hernia and lower weight loss after initial LSG were more likely to undergo conversion surgery. CONCLUSION Conversion to RYGB after LSG is clinically relevant and may be a feasible solution if patients have ongoing GERD refractory to medical therapy. Ninety-three percent of our patients achieved complete resolution of their GERD symptoms and significant improvement of erosive esophagitis with significant weight loss after conversion. This study has important implications as LSG is increasingly being performed and a proportion of these will need revision surgery for various reasons, particularly GERD which is extremely prevalent.

Abstract
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most performed surgical procedures in bariatric surgery. Staple line leak and bleeding are by far the two most feared complications after LSG. In this study, we retrospectively compared the efficacy of Fibrin Glue in preventing staple line leak and bleeding. From September 2019 to January 2020, 450 obese patients underwent elective LSG and were placed into groups with Fibrin Glue reinforcement (Group A) or without Fibrin Glue reinforcement (Group B). Primary endpoints were postoperative staple line leak and bleeding; while, secondary endpoints were reintervention rate, total operative time and mortality. Mean Body Mass Index (BMI) was 45.4 ± 7.9 kg/m2 (range: 35.1-81.8). Mean age was 43.3 ± 11.8 years (range: 18-65). No intraoperative complications or conversion to laparotomy were reported. Mean operative time was comparable between the groups (48 ± 18 min in Group A vs 48 ± 14 min in Group B; p > 0.05). No decrease in overall postoperative complications was found in Group A (5.1% vs 7.0%; p > 0.05), but after stratification according to Clavien-Dindo classification, we found a higher rate of Grade II (0.0% vs 1.6%; p < 0.05) and Grade IIIb (0.0% vs 1%; p < 0.05) complications in group B. Our study showed that Fibrin Glue as a reinforcement method during LSG is a reliable tool, without affecting the operative time of surgery and mortality. A significant reduction in complications (Clavien-Dindo grade II and grade IIIb) was observed in patients undergoing LSG with Fibrin Glue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is currently the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide. However, the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after LSG is high. OBJECTIVES The aim of this systematic review was to identify the optimal surgical strategy for treating GERD after LSG. SETTING West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed to identify studies on surgical treatments for GERD after LSG. The effectiveness and safety profile of surgical management on GERD after LSG were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 40 articles enrolling 2049 patients were included in this review. Surgical strategies to prevent GERD after LSG were mainly of 2 types: concomitant LSG + antireflux procedures (hiatal hernia repair or fundoplication) and secondary procedures (conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [RYGB] or repeat sleeve gastrectomy). The short-term remission or improvement rate of GERD was 34.6%-100% after concomitant LSG + antireflux procedures. The postoperative complication rate was the same (3.0%) for both LSG + antireflux procedures and LSG alone. The remission or improvement rate of GERD was 57.1%-100% after conversion to RYGB and 100% after repeat sleeve gastrectomy. CONCLUSIONS The effectiveness and safety profile of concomitant LSG + antireflux procedures is uncertain. However, secondary operations after LSG, such as conversion to RYGB, appear to provide good results. The data overall are heterogeneous, with imprecise methods of documenting and defining GERD complicating LSG. More cohort studies or RCT studies of high quality with long-term follow-up are needed in the future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is one of the most popular bariatric operations and one of the most frequently studied areas in bariatric surgery. AIM To summarise the characteristics of the most frequently cited studies focusing on SG. MATERIAL AND METHODS We used the Web of Science database to identify all studies focused on SG published from 2000 to 2018. The term "sleeve gastrectomy" and synonyms were used to reveal the 100 most cited records. RESULTS The most frequently cited publication had 493 citations. The highest mean number of citations per year was 73.00. Studies were most frequently published in the years 2010 and 2012. Articles were most commonly published in bariatric surgery-oriented journals. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates an increase in medical researchers' interest in the subject of SG and underlines the need to perform studies with a higher level of evidence to further analyse the outcomes and basic science behind SG.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recently, a single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) has become increasingly popular for patients with BMI > 50 as a primary or staged surgery. Staging allows surgeons to do the sleeve gastrectomy (SG) first with the conversion only happening when a failure or technical challenge is identified. PURPOSE We present the mid-term outcomes of SADI bypass surgery after SG. METHOD A retrospective analysis was performed on a prospective database from four institutions. Ninety-six patients were identified from 2013 to 2018. Patients were divided into two groups: one had two-stage SADI because of insufficient weight loss, the second had planned two-stage SADI because of super obesity (BMI > 50 kg/m2). Incidence of complications was divided into < 30 days and > 30 days. RESULT Of 96 patients, 3 patients were completely lost to follow-up. The mean age was 44.8 ± 11.3 years. There were no deaths or conversion to open surgery. The postoperative early complication and late complication rate was 5.3% and 6.4% respectively. At 24 months, group 2 had higher %weight loss (WL) and change in BMI units compared to group 1 with statistically significant difference. The average WL and change in BMI for entire patient's population at 24 months after 2nd stage SADI was 20.5% and 9.4 units respectively. The remission rate for DM was 93.7% with or without the use of medication. CONCLUSION The two-stage approach to SADI-S appears technically simpler than a single compromised operation. However, this approach needs more patients to understand its limitations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standardization of the key measurements of a procedure's finished anatomic configuration strengthens surgical practice, research, and patient outcomes. A consensus meeting was organized to define standard versions of 25 bariatric metabolic procedures. METHODS A panel of experts in bariatric metabolic surgery from multiple continents was invited to present technique descriptions and outcomes for 4 classic, or conventional, and 21 variant and emerging procedures. Expert panel and audience discussion was followed by electronic voting on proposed standard dimensions and volumes for each procedure's key anatomic alterations. Consensus was defined as ≥ 70% agreement. RESULTS The Bariatric Metabolic Surgery Standardization World Consensus Meeting (BMSS-WOCOM) was convened March 22-24, 2018, in New Delhi, India. Discussion confirmed heterogeneity in procedure measurements in the literature. A set of anatomic measurements to serve as the standard version of each procedure was proposed. After two voting rounds, 22/25 (88.0%) configurations posed for consideration as procedure standards achieved voting consensus by the expert panel, 1 did not attain consensus, and 2 were not voted on. All configurations were voted on by ≥ 50% of 50 expert panelists. The Consensus Statement was developed from scientific evidence collated from presenters' slides and a separate literature review, meeting video, and transcripts. Review and input was provided by consensus panel members. CONCLUSIONS Standard versions of the finished anatomic configurations of 22 surgical procedures were established by expert consensus. The BMSS process was undertaken as a first step in developing evidence-based standard bariatric metabolic surgical procedures with the aim of improving consistency in surgery, data collection, comparison of procedures, and outcome reporting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including erosive esophagitis, is highly prevalent in the obese population. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most frequently performed bariatric procedures. The relationship between LSG and GERD has gained increasing attention. This retrospective study aimed to assess the effectiveness of combined LSG and modified Rossetti antireflux fundoplication for the treatment of GERD on morbidly obese patients after bariatric surgery. OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness, on morbid obese patients, of combined SG and Rossetti fundoplication for the treatment of GERD in obese patients. SETTING Public Hospital, Italy. METHODS From January 2015 to May 2018, 220 obese patients (167 female; 53 male) underwent LSG and modified Rossetti antireflux fundoplication procedure, performed by 4 different expert bariatric surgeons. Data have been collected in an Excel file and processed by XLStat to perform statistical analyses. We analyzed short-term complications and medium-term results with 24-month follow-up in terms of weight loss, remission of co-morbidities, and resolution of GERD. RESULTS Mean BMI was 42.58 ± 5.93 kg/m2 (range, 31.70-63.16). Patients suffering from GERD before surgery were 137 of 220 (62.3%). No intraoperative complications or conversion were reported. Regular postoperative course was recorded in 90% of patients (198 of 220 patients). Gastric perforation has always occurred on the fundoplicated portion of the stomach. This perforation, which is different from the well-known post-LSG gastric fistula, may be because of incorrect gastric fundus manipulation. Rate of reoperation was 14 of 220 (6.4%). A good sense of repletion without episodes of vomiting, nausea, or dysphagia was reported in 95% of the analyzed patients. Of patients, 98.5% did not suffer from reflux symptoms and did not take proton pump inhibitors. A decrease in BMI and percent of total weight loss at follow-up were comparable with LSG. Endoscopic follow-up is still ongoing. Improvement in esophagitis was observed in 63 of 65 (96.92%) patients and all 4 patients shows improvement in Barrett's esophagus. CONCLUSIONS LSG and modified Rossetti antireflux fundoplication procedure is a tolerated and feasible procedure in obese patients, with good postoperative weight loss results and improvement in GERD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Peritonitis is a major complication of bariatric surgery due to direct damage to the natural barriers to infection. Most such secondary peritoneal infections are caused by Gram-negative microorganisms; however, under certain conditions, Candida species can infect the peritoneal cavity following bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and microbiological data of morbidly obese patients who suffered infectious complications following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) at the Soroka Medical Center between January 2010 and June 2015. RESULTS Out of 800 patients who underwent LSG, 43 (5.3%( developed secondary peritonitis and were admitted to our General Intensive Care Unit during the study period. Intraperitoneal leaks, intraabdominal abscesses and pleural effusions were significantly more common in patients with fungal infection than in those with non-fungal infections (p values 0.027, < 0.001, and < 0.014, respectively). Leaks situated at the suture line of gastro-esophageal area occurred much more frequently in the fungal infection group than in the non-fungal infection group (94.7 vs 41.7%, p < 0.001). Microbiological analysis of the abdominal and pleural fluids of patients with invasive fungal infectious complications showed the presence of commensal polymicrobial bacterial infections-mainly Streptoccocus constellatus and coagulase negative Staphylococcus spp. Leakage at the suture line of gastro-esophageal area (upper suture part) and administration of parenteral nutrition were found to be independent predictors for invasive fungal infections after LSG. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that invasive fungal infection is a significant postoperative infectious complication of bariatric LSG surgery in morbidly obese patients.

Abstract
Staple-line bleeding and leakage is a life-threatening complication in obese patients following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The aim of this study was to examine the potential effects of Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) and Fibrin Sealant (FS; Tisseel®) on sleeve gastrectomy staple-line healing in an experimental animal model. A total of 30 Wistar albino female rats were divided into three groups and were subjected to sleeve gastrectomy with linear stapling. Group A (control group) had nothing administered, Group B was administered FS on the staple-line, and Group C was administered ABS on the staple-line following sleeve gastrectomy. After sacrifice on postoperative day 5, anastomotic burst pressure, tissue hydroxyproline levels and histopathological parameters were measured. The results revealed that group C had the highest mean bursting pressure level. However, the values of this parameter were not found to differ significantly between the groups (P>0.05). Group B and C had a similar hydroxyproline levels but increased compared with group A (P<0.001). Histopathological parameters were similar between the groups, except macrophage scores in group C. In the present experimental study, ABS was demonstrated to improve gastric-sleeved staple-line healing compared with FS. ABS may be used as a novel reinforcement agent in bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are many reports on short-term outcomes following sleeve gastrectomy, which demonstrate that it has comparable efficacy to gastric bypass. However, there are very few long-term comparative reports. This study compared the outcomes from laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic gastric bypass (LGB) in a cohort of patients who had surgery in 2011 with a six-year follow up. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data on patients who had either LSG or LGB at a single centre in Mohak Bariatric and Robotic Surgery Centre, Indore, M.P. India in 2011 were identified from a database of routinely collected data. This retrospective cohort was analysed for weight loss, resolution of comorbidities and nutritional status over six years. Patients who had revision operations or for whom six-year follow-up data were not available were excluded from the analysis. RESULTS 154 patients had LGB and 152 had LSG. The six-year follow up rate was 61.7% (n = 95) and 64.5% (n = 98) respectively for LGB and LSG. Percentage of excess bodyweight loss (%EWL) peaked at approximately 70% after two years in the LSG group and after three years in the LGB group. However, after six years %EWL was 61% for LGB and 50% for LSG (p = 0.001). Resolution of type-2 diabetes was more common in the LGB group compared to the LSG group (79% vs 62%, p = 0.126). Resolution of hypertension and dyslipidaemia was similar in both groups at approximately half of patients in each group for each condition. Nutrient deficiencies were found in both groups but were generally more pronounced in the LGB group. CONCLUSION LGB is a better operation for weight loss, weight loss maintenance, and resolution of type-2 diabetes than LSG. This is at the expense of an increased incidence of nutrient deficiencies. LSG appears to have greater treatment failure by six years follow up and this should be further investigated.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the medium-term metabolic results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in Chinese patients. Methods We performed a retrospective study of our LSG results between February 2011 and February 2015, and conducted a literature review of stenosis after LSG during a recent 10-year period. Results Of 142 patients in our study, the mean initial body mass index (BMI) was 38.34 kg/m2, the mean age of the patients (44 males and 98 females) was 29.36 years. All patients were followed up for at least 36 months. There was a significant reduction in BMI and blood lipid levels. For one case with gastric stenosis (0.7%), resolution was achieved by conversion to gastric bypass, with a satisfied result in weight loss and diabetes remission. The incidence of stenosis after LSG in previous studies was 0.1-3.5%. Among the cases of stenosis, 83.0% resolved with dilation, and the remainder resolved with a surgical procedure. Conclusions LSG is a relatively safe surgical option for weight loss as a primary procedure in our study. Stenosis after LSG requires diagnosis and treatment promptly. Surgery can be a feasible treatment option, but care must be taken to avoid complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An incidental finding of intestinal nonrotation at the time of bariatric surgery poses the following 2 dilemmas: (1) which operation to perform, and (2) whether an appendectomy should be performed concurrently. OBJECTIVES To review the experience of 2 Bariatric Centers of Excellence with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients with intestinal nonrotation, and to perform a systematic review of the literature on this topic. SETTING Two Bariatric Centers of Excellence as designated by the Ontario Bariatric Network. METHODS A chart review of all LSG cases performed in patients with intestinal nonrotation at 2 centers was performed. A systematic review on performing bariatric surgery in patients with intestinal nonrotation/malrotation was conducted using EMBASE and MEDLINE databases. RESULTS Four patients (.4% of all cases) underwent LSG in the setting of intestinal nonrotation. Two patients underwent a concurrent appendectomy. Three patients developed postoperative gastrointestinal reflux disease and 1 patient required conversion to a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. A total of 12 retrospective studies with 23 patients were included in the systematic review. Nineteen patients underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, 3 patients underwent a duodenal switch, and 1 patient underwent LSG. Nine patients (41%) underwent a concurrent appendectomy. Reasons cited for not performing an appendectomy include not completely understanding the anatomic defect, being surprised by the discovery of nonrotation, no consent for the procedure, and suboptimal trocar placement for an appendectomy. CONCLUSIONS LSG is a reasonable alternative to laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in patients with intestinal nonrotation. A concurrent appendectomy may not be necessary in the era of modern cross-sectional imaging for diagnosing acute appendicitis.

Abstract
: Metabolic surgery can cause amelioration, resolution, and possible cure of type 2 diabetes. Bariatric surgery is metabolic surgery. In the future, there will be metabolic surgery operations to treat type 2 diabetes that are not focused on weight loss. These procedures will rely on neurohormonal modulation related to the gut as well as outside the peritoneal cavity. Metabolic procedures are and will always be in flux as surgeons seek the safest and most effective operative modality; there is no enduring gold standard operation. Metabolic bariatric surgery for type 2 diabetes is more than part of the clinical armamentarium, it is an invitation to perform basic research and to achieve fundamental scientific knowledge.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Growth hormone (GH) and GH-related signaling molecules play an important role in nociception and development of chronic pain. This review aims to examine the potential molecular mechanisms through which GH-related signaling modulates sensory hypersensitivity in rodents, the clinical pharmacology of GH, and the clinical evidence of GH treatment for several common pain syndromes.
Methods
A search was conducted using the PUBMED/MEDLINE database, Scopus, and the Cochrane library for all reports published in English on GH in pain management from inception through May 2018. A critical review was performed on the mechanisms of GH-related signaling and the pharmacology of GH. The levels of clinical evidence and implications for recommendations of all of the included studies were graded.
Results
The search yielded 379 articles, of which 201 articles were deemed irrelevant by reading the titles. There were 53 reports deemed relevant after reading abstracts. All of these 53 articles were retrieved for the analysis and discussion.
Conclusions
Dysfunction of the GH/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)/ghrelin axis was linked to hyperalgesia and several common clinical pain syndromes. Low levels of GH and IGF-1 were linked to pain hypersensitivity, whereas ghrelin appeared to provide analgesic effects. Pretreatment of GH reversed mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity in an animal model of inflammatory pain. Clinical trials support GH treatment in a subgroup of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (level of evidence: 1B+) or chronic lower back pain syndrome (level of evidence: 2C+).

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to demonstrate that gastric volvulus can be prevented by omentopexy and sleeve gastrectomy without increasing other complication rates. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1385 patients who underwent omentopexy and sleeve gastrectomy between April 2013 and September 2017 were included this study. Body mass index, age, sex, comorbidities, and postoperative complications of the patients were recorded as data. RESULTS A total of 1385 patients underwent sleeve gastrectomy and omentopexy. There were 999 female and 386 male patients. The mean age of the patients was 36 years (14 to 71 y). The mean body mass index was 42.74 kg/m (35 to 73 kg/m). Twenty-one patients had previously undergone gastric banding and the other 80 patients had previous abdominal operation. The number of patients undergoing simultaneous cholecystectomy was 98. Three patients had hemorrhage due to hypertension and anticoagulant treatment in the postoperative period and the patients were treated medically. One staple-line leakage was observed. Twist, and stricture were not observed and no mortalities were noted. CONCLUSIONS Sleeve gastrectomy and omentopexy can prevent the gastric twist, which is a functional cause of gastric stenosis, by stabilizing the posterior stomach wall.

Abstract
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is currently the most commonly performed standalone bariatric procedure worldwide. Gastric staple line leakage is the feared immanent complication of the operation, which is difficult to treat and often persists. This article presents the endoscopic treatment options for complications after laparoscopic SG, particularly the treatment of gastric staple line leakage. Most important for a successful treatment is the understanding of the underlying pathophysiological causes, the exact surgical comprehension of the procedure and advanced endoscopic skills. The choice of endoscopic intervention depends on the available strategies as well as on the skills of the executing endoscopist. Currently, internal drainage seems to be the most expedient method.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Bariatric surgery is the best therapeutic approach to patients with morbid obesity, but there is mounting evidence that it is associated with esophageal dysfunctions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and motor disorders. In the present review, we summarize the existing information on the complex link between bariatric surgery and esophageal disorders. RECENT FINDINGS Although high-quality studies on these effects are lacking, because of evident methodological flaws and retrospective nature, the review of published investigations show that pure restrictive procedures, such as laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAPG) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), are associated with de novo development or worsening of GERD. Moreover, LAGB is the procedure with the greatest frequency of esophageal motor disorders, including impairment of LES relaxation and ineffective esophageal peristalsis associated with esophageal dilation. LSG seems to be less associated with esophageal dysmotility, although evidence derived from studies with objective measurements of esophageal dysfunction is limited. Finally, RYGB seems to be the best procedure for improvement of GERD symptoms and preservation of esophageal function. SUMMARY Overall, the restrictive-malabsorptive approach represented by RYGB must be preferred to pure restrictive operations in order to avoid the negative consequences of bariatric surgery on esophageal functions.

Abstract
Introduction Sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most popular bariatric procedures. We present our long-term results regarding weight loss, comorbidities, and gastric reflux disease. Material and Methods We identified patients who underwent LSG in our institution between 2006 and 2009. We revised the data, and the patients with outdated contact details were tracked with the national health insurance database and social media (facebook). Each of the identified patients was asked to complete an online or telephone survey covering, among others, their weight and comorbidities. On that basis, we calculated the percent total weight loss (%TWL) and percent excess weight loss (%EWL), along with changes in body mass index (ΔBMI). Satisfactory weight loss was set at >50% EWL (for BMI = 25 kg/m2). We evaluated type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and arterial hypertension (AHT) based on the pharmacological therapy. GERD presence was evaluated by the typical symptoms and/or proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. Results One hundred twenty-seven patients underwent LSG between 2006 and 2009. One hundred twenty patients were qualified for this study. Follow-up data was available for 100 participants (47 female, 53 male). Median follow-up period reached 8.0 years (from 7.1 to 10.7). Median BMI upon qualification for LSG was 51.6 kg/m2. Sixteen percent of patients required revisional surgery over the years (RS group), mainly because of insufficient weight loss (14 Roux-Y gastric bypass—LRYGB; one mini gastric bypass, one gastric banding). For the LSG (LSG group n = 84), the mean %EWL was 51.1% (±22.3), median %TWL was 23.5% (IQR 17.7–33.3%), and median ΔBMI was 12.1 kg/m2 (IQR 8.2–17.2). Fifty percent (n = 42) of patients achieved the satisfactory %EWL of 50%. For RS group, the mean %EWL was 57.8% (±18.2%) and median %TWL reached 33% (IQR 27.7–37.9%). Sixty-two percent (n = 10) achieved the satisfactory weight loss. Fifty-nine percent of patients reported improvement in AHT therapy, 58% in T2DM. After LSG, 60% (n = 60) of patients reported recurring GERD symptoms and 44% were treated with proton pomp inhibitors (PPI). In 93% of these cases, GERD has developed de novo. Conclusions Isolated LSG provides fairly good effects in a long-term follow-up with mean %EWL at 51.1%. Sixteen percent of patients require additional surgery due to insufficient weight loss. More than half of the subjects observe improvement in AHT and T2DM. Over half of the patients complain of GERD symptoms, which in most of the cases is a de novo complaint.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) may exacerbate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with a hiatal hernia (HH). Surgical repair may be needed, however prior LSG precludes standard HH repair with fundoplication. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed our experience with bariatric patients with prior LSG undergoing laparoscopic HH repair from August 2010 to July 2016. Patient demographics and outcomes including mortality, length of stay (LOS), readmission rates, reoperation, and complications were described. A validated 13-point questionnaire was used to determine symptomatic relief, weight loss, and overall satisfaction. RESULTS A total of nine consecutive patients with prior LSG underwent HH repair and were included in the analysis. Repair was performed using Bio-A Gore® mesh (W.L Gore Inc., Newark, DE) in six (66.7%) cases and posterior cruroplasty in three (33.3%) patients. Heartburn was significantly decreased at 1 year (1.4 ± 0.9 vs. 2.6 ± 0.9, p = 0.031), and 78% of patients reported some degree of symptomatic relief after HH repair. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic HH repair offers a safe and feasible approach in the management of persistent GERD after LSG in well-selected bariatric patients. Larger prospective studies are warranted to investigate the effectiveness of HH repair in this population as 22% of our patients did not demonstrate postoperative symptomatic improvement.
