A New Procedure-Based Assessment of Operative Skills in Gastric Bypass Surgery, Evaluated by Video Fragment Rating
ConclusionThe PBA discriminates well between different levels of operative skills. Similar patterns were found for the OSATS and BOSATS, showing that the randomly selected video fragments are representative samples for assessing skill level. Future research will demonstrate whether these results can be extrapolated to clinical training, and which scores allow for procedure certification.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Effects of Preoperative Quadruple Therapy for Helicobacter pylori on Bariatric Surgery Metabolic Outcomes
ConclusionsPreoperative treatment with OCAM has been associated to poorer glycemic and weight loss outcomes after BS. More research is needed on the influence of OCAM on gut microbiota, and in turn, the effect of the latter on metabolic and weight loss outcomes after BS.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Experiences and Outcomes of Indigenous Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery: a Mixed-Method Scoping Review
AbstractObesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are growing global health concerns. Evidence suggests that Indigenous peoples are at higher lifetime risk of obesity and its associated conditions. Obesity increases the risk of T2D, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. Bariatric surgery is the most sustained and effective intervention for treating obesity-associated medical problems. This review aims to explore the experiences and outcomes of Indigenous peoples undergoing bariatric surgery in Canada, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand (CANZUS). Analysis of quantitative data revealed that Indigenous patients had fewer ...

Long-Term Protective Effects and Mechanisms of Gastric Bypass Surgery on the Kidneys in Hypertensive Obese Rat
ConclusionThis study validates that RYGB effectively attains sustained blood pressure control in hypertensive obese rats and has a potential kidney-protective mechanism via the NLRP3-ASC/IL-1 β pathway.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Convincing 10-Year Follow-up Results of the Banded Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
ConclusionThe addition of a silicon ring to the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may result in substantial and stable weight loss maintenance 10 years post-operative. Furthermore, the number of patients with long-term complications was low and the number of associated medical problems was significantly reduced.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Correlation of T2DM and Anthropometric Measures with Total Small Bowel Length and Its Effects on Diabetes Remission After Bariatric Surgery
ConclusionsTSBL was positively correlated with height, weight, neck circumference, chest circumference, waist circumference, and Roux limb. The TSBL of males was significantly higher than that of females. Among patients with T2DM who participated in the follow-up 1 year after surgery, RL/BPL = 3 (n = 20) had greater weight loss than the other groups.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Sleeve Gastrectomy Reduces the Need for Liver Transplantation in Patients with Obesity and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis: a Predictive Model
ConclusionIn this predictive model of 20,000 patients with obesity and concomitant NASH, surgical weight loss is associated with a reduction in the progression of NASH, thereby reducing the need for LT. A reduced BMI threshold of 32 kg/m2 for BS may offer survival benefit for patients with obesity and NASH.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

A Scoping Review: Bariatric Providers ’ Knowledge and Behaviors Related to Contraceptive Counseling
AbstractBariatric surgery is a common treatment for obesity, and about half of patients undergoing these procedures are patients of reproductive age. Following bariatric procedures, rapid weight loss and an increase in fertility occur. Guidelines recommend pregnancy delay for 12 –24 months postoperatively. It is important that patients capable of pregnancy undergoing bariatric procedures receive preoperative contraceptive counseling. Studies surveying bariatric providers demonstrate that most providers understand the importance of delaying pregnancy and contraceptive cou nseling. However, deficiencies in bariatric provi...

A Simple Way to Estimate a Difficult Sleeve Gastrectomy Prior to Operating
ConclusionThis is the first study to anticipate sleeve gastrectomy difficulty using SFT and TFT. This is an easy technique to apply and no additional costs. Anticipating difficulties based on these criteria can ensure necessary preparations are made and help avoid complications.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)
