Sleeve dilatation after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) causes weight regain (WR). Banded sleeve gastrectomy (BSG) was proposed to prevent dilatation and reduce WR. This study included LSG 1279 patients and […]
This study aimed to test the return of body composition and metabolic biomarkers to pre-operative levels when WR occurs.Weight regain (WR) is described in approximately 30% of patient’s post-bariatric surgery. […]
It is with great interest that we have read the letter to the editor in this issue. This was from Liagre et al., in response to our study. We conducted […]
To assess the prevalence, incidence, location, and behaviour of chronic pre- and postoperative pain in bariatric surgery, and the use of analgesics. In this e-survey, chronic postoperative abdominal pain was […]
Gastric and gallbladder specimens from 80 patients who underwent bariatric surgery between November 2021 and May 2022 and had a history of COVID-19 infection with gastrointestinal symptoms were examined for […]
Predicting preoperatively whether a patient with obesity would have improved or non-improved IR after bariatric surgery would improve treatment decisions. Preoperative BMI, leptin, ghrelin, LGr, and increased triglycerides have a […]
We were glad to read that Stenberg et al. agree that the “what” specific bias within RoB determined the score of LoE could be expressed more clearly, and we believe […]
This study aimed to compare outcomes between primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (PRYGB and RRYGB after LAGB). One-stage RRYGB for failed LAGB is safe and effective with comparable rates of complications, […]
To compare between effectiveness and safety of RYGB and OAGB as revisional surgeries after failed sleeve gastrectomy. Both revisional RYGB and OAGB have comparable significant weight loss effects when performed […]
The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with improved or in-progress EWL among patients who had undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Routine cross-sectional surveying can help clinicians […]
