Metabolic Bariatric surgery in People with Obesity aged ≥65 Years
Eur J Intern Med. 2024 Mar 30:S0953-6205(24)00134-1. doi: 10.1016/j.ejim.2024.03.029. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTObesity management guidelines recommend metabolic bariatric surgery for individuals with body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m2, regardless of the presence of any obesity-related comorbidity; and for individuals with BMI 30-34.9 kg/m2 with metabolic diseases. Older age is not in itself a contraindication for bariatric surgeries, which can be performed after careful selection and assessment, to decrease the risks of postoperative complications. An essential amount of data has accumulated about bariatric surgery res...

Effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on thyroid hormones and relationship between metabolic parameters and long-term total weight loss
ConclusionBeing the first study to predict long-term total weight loss based on preoperative HbA1c, it is significant. This finding has important implications for personalized patient management and could aid clinicians in identifying individuals who may benefit most from sleeve gastrectomy as a treatment modality. This is valuable in that it emphasizes multidisciplinary work, including the endocrinologist and dietician. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Patients ’ perspectives on weight recurrence after bariatric surgery: a single-center survey
ConclusionsPatients considered weight loss as the most important factor when choosing treatment modality for WR, with RBS and lifestyle changes being preferred over weight-loss medications. Large prospective randomized trials are needed to counsel this patient population better. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Associations between Zinc Deficiency, Taste Changes, and Salivary Flow Rates following Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgeries
CONCLUSION: Taste change is more prevalent following MGB compared with SG, especially at 6 months postoperation which parallel with changes in zinc levels. More than half of all patients who had undergone bariatric surgery (BS) had low to very low salivary flow rates during the follow-up. This study suggests an association between low zinc levels and reduced salivary flow with hypogeusia following BS.PMID:38550298 | PMC:PMC10977327 | DOI:10.1155/2024/1197571 (Source: Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Safe and Accurate Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy for Remnant Gastric Cancer With Severe Adhesions Using Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging: Guidance in Detection of the Accurate Dissection Layer to Avoid Organ Injury
Am Surg. 2024 Mar 28:31348241241720. doi: 10.1177/00031348241241720. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLaparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) for remnant gastric cancer (RGC) requires advanced techniques due to severe postoperative adhesions and anatomic changes. We performed LTG in 2 patients with RGC using intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging. Both cases previously underwent distal gastrectomy with Billroth-I reconstruction for gastric cancer and were subsequently diagnosed with early-stage gastric cancer of the remnant stomach. Indocyanine green (2.5 mg/body) was administered intravenously during surger...

Long-term cardiovascular risk reduction after gastric cancer surgery: a nationwide cohort study
CONCLUSION: Patients with gastric cancer who have undergone gastrectomy exhibit a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases in comparison to the general population. In contrast, the risk for cardiovascular diseases in patients with gastric cancer who underwent endoscopic resection did not demonstrate a significant difference in cardiovascular risk in comparison to the general population.PMID:38537066 | DOI:10.1097/JS9.0000000000001404 (Source: Cancer Control)

Prevalence of and Factors Associated with Financial Toxicity After Pancreatectomy and Gastrectomy
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with upper gastrointestinal cancer have a major risk of FT. In addition to predicting the FT risk before surgery, facilitating quicker functional recovery with the appropriate use of MIS is considered important to reducing the FT risk.PMID:38536586 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-024-15236-6 (Source: Ann Oncol)

Robotic vs. laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer: A propensity score-matched retrospective comparative study at a single institution
CONCLUSIONS: Although a single-center, small comparative study, the results showed that the robotic surgery group was not inferior to the laparoscopic group in feasibility and safety. Moreover, robotic surgery enables harvesting a higher number of lymph nodes, which may be more advantageous than laparoscopic surgery. This study also showed that as the surgeon gains experience with robotic surgery, its operative time becomes significantly shorter.PMID:38538396 | DOI:10.1016/j.asjsur.2024.03.086 (Source: Asian Journal of Surgery)

Nomogram for Predicting Infectious Complications Following Curative Gastrectomy Using Clinical and Laboratory Parameters
CONCLUSION: This study presents a novel estimating model for infectious complications following curative gastrectomy. The utilization of this model in patient discharge planning can aid in identifying individuals who require additional treatment, thereby minimizing unexpected readmissions.PMID:38537986 | DOI:10.21873/anticanres.16978 (Source: Cell Research)
