Short-term effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or gastric sleeve on bone mineral density and calciotropic hormones: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and gastric sleeve (GS) have been associated with significant reductions in bone mineral density (BMD) and fluctuations in serum levels of calciotropic hormones. These changes pose a risk to bone health. Objectives: To evaluate the short-term (12 and 24 months) effects of RYGB and GS on BMD and calciotropic hormones. Setting: PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched. (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases)

Reply to comment on Is simultaneous bariatric surgery and ventral hernia repair a safe and effective approach?
This week we are caring for a multiply co-morbid man with a Body Mass Index in the 50 ’s following gastric bypass who suffered major anastomotic disruption related to a day 4, post-hospital discharge small bowel obstruction from a small para-umbilical hernia. As well as the respiratory and renal failure and necrotizing fasciitis experienced, he has a small bowel fistula that we are hoping to control. This is not the first time I have seen this complication after bariatric surgery, however, in most circumstances, the obstruction has occurred later in the post-operative course and usually (but not always) the outcomes have...

Frequency of Clinically Significant Findings in the Surgical Pathology Specimen Following Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and Concordance with Preoperative Endoscopy: Insights from a Large Single-Center Experience
ConclusionThis is one of the largest studies describing clinically significant postoperative pathology after SG. AMAG, in particular, is of particular importance as it is associated with a 3 –fivefold increase in risk for gastric cancer. The incidence of significant postoperative pathology in this population is small but potentially clinically significant and requires validation in larger studies. We recommend wider sampling in preoperative endoscopy (body and antrum), especially in p atients being planned for gastric bypass, consideration for routine pathological examination of SG surgical specimens, with careful gross ...

Comment on: “Effectiveness of sleeve gastrectomy plus fundoplication versus sleeve gastrectomy alone for treatment of patients with severe obesity: a systematic review and meta-analysis”
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is generally associated with superior perioperative safety profile when compared to laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB); however, LRYGB offers better gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) control (1). In fact, LRYGB is considered the technique of choice for patients with GERD (2). Additionally, for patients without GERD, there is an increased risk of de novo GERD with LSG as opposed to LRYGB.

Sex- and operation-dependent effects on 5-year weight loss results of bariatric surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Weight loss after bariatric surgery is sex- and procedure-dependent. There is an association suggesting a clinically insignificant difference in weight loss between RYGB and SG among male patients at both the 2- and 5-year postsurgery time points.PMID:38462409 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2024.01.013 (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery)
