The Utilisation of Digital Applications for Measuring Patient Outcomes Following Bariatric Surgery: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Comparative Studies
AbstractIn the context of escalating obesity rates, bariatric surgery holds a crucial role in managing severely obese patients. With a demonstrated effectiveness in weight loss and with the advent of ambulatory surgery, bariatric surgery allows for a streamlined care pathway, ideally suited for postoperative surveillance using digital health applications. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the effect of eHealth-delivered health services or support for adults undergoing bariatric surgery. Five studies, encompassing 2210 patients, were analysed. The intervention group showed a 10% increase in ...

Management of Malnutrition and Hepatic Impairment After Duodenal Switch
ConclusionsWhile refractory malnutrition and/or liver failure are rare among patients post-DS, if underdiagnosed and untreated, this can lead to irreversible outcomes and death. All revisional procedures included in this study resulted in improvement of the nutritional status and reversal of liver impairment, with low complication rates.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Implementation of Artificial Intelligence –Based Computer Vision Model for Sleeve Gastrectomy: Experience in One Tertiary Center
ConclusionsThe AI model provides a fully automated SG video analysis. Outcomes suggest its accuracy in four of five safety milestone annotations. This data is valuable, as it reflects objective performance measures which can help us improve the surgical quality and efficiency of SG. Larger cohorts will enable SG standardization and clinical correlations with outcomes, aiming to improve patients ’ safety.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Intra-operative Tranexamic Acid Administration Significantly Decreases Incidence of Postoperative Bleeding Without Increasing Venous Thromboembolism Risk After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Retrospective Cohort Study of Over 400 Patients
ConclusionsThis is the largest cohort study of intra-operative TXA in primary LSG to date, which demonstrates significant decrease in postoperative bleeding without increasing VTE risk. The authors recommend administration of TXA immediately following leak test, or removal of bougie to maximise efficacy. Data of TXA in LSG is awaited from the randomised controlled PATAS trial.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Positive Program Evaluation and Health Maintenance among Post-Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Patients Following a 6-Week Pilot Program
ConclusionFollowing the program, weight loss was maintained among both intervention and control groups. Intervention feedback indicated that the program ’s approach to provide nutrition education and support was successful and acceptable. Future enhancement of the intervention should include a broader multidisciplinary approach, longer intervention period, and intentional recruitment of participants with a weight regain.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)
