Summary: This study evaluated the outcomes of converting LAGB to OAGB and SG for insufficient weight loss or weight regain. OAGB patients had better weight reduction and resolution of type 2 diabetes compared to SG patients at 5 years.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of liraglutide 1.8 mg in participants undergoing laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. The results showed that there was no additional improvement in glycemic control or body weight with liraglutide therapy. However, the study was underpowered to detect significant changes in the primary and secondary outcomes.

Summary: Revisional LAGB may be considered a valid salvage procedure in patients with weight regain or inadequate weight loss after RYGB, achieving a total %EWL of 60.7 +/- 28%. Complications related to the band and port remain a notable concern.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of lengthening the biliopancreatic limb in RYGB and OAGB, finding that they were similarly effective in weight loss and remission of comorbidities, with OAGB being faster and LPRYGB resulting in better quality of life post-surgery.

Summary: This study found that LAGB surgery, which constricts the stomach, can indirectly alter brain activation in response to food cues, potentially leading to changes in food craving and preference that support sustained weight loss after surgery.

Summary: This study compared the short- and mid-term outcomes of single- and two-stage LSG procedures after LAGB failure, finding no difference in complication rates between the two approaches. However, two-stage surgery resulted in better weight loss outcomes.

Summary: This study found that performing single-port sleeve gastrectomy in specific patients is feasible and non-inferior when compared to multiple-port sleeve gastrectomy. Further studies are needed to clarify the efficacy and safety of single-port sleeve gastrectomy.

Summary: This study investigates the outcome of one-stage and two-stage Roux-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) as a revision procedure after failed adjustable gastric banding (AGB). The results show that both one-stage and two-stage RYGB are safe and feasible for removing a failed AGB. There were differences in perioperative complications and remission of comorbidities between the two groups, as well as a significant difference in operating time. However, there were no significant benefits in terms of change in weight and BMI for either group.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluated the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) as a revisional procedure after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and identified predictors of outcomes. The results showed that revision LSG provided long-term weight loss, but had significantly more complications and higher re-operation rates compared to primary LSG. Predictors of worse outcomes included eroded band, multiple prior bands, severe esophageal dysmotility, and elevated baseline weight.

Summary: Revisional LOAGB surgery is effective and safe for patients with weight loss failure after LSG. Patients with insufficient weight loss and persistent fundus anatomy tend to lose more weight compared to patients with weight regain and diffuse stomach dilation.

Summary: This study examined the safety and efficacy of converting failed LSG to either OAGB or RYGB, comparing weight-related outcomes and post-conversion complications. Results showed that conversion to OAGB resulted in greater weight loss, but with a higher incidence of GERD.

Summary: The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of conversion to OAGB after failed LAGB, showing that OAGB is a safe and effective option with satisfactory postoperative morbidity and weight loss outcomes. Both synchronous OAGB and two-step revisional OAGB guarantee satisfying results in terms of postoperative morbidity and weight loss outcomes.

Summary: This study evaluated the short-term outcomes of various revisional bariatric surgeries after failed primary sleeve gastrectomy. Results showed that biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) resulted in the largest weight loss, while Roux en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and BPD/DS had similar rates of major complications. Overall, revisional procedures offer further weight loss for patients with failed primary SG.

Summary: This study reports on the long-term weight loss and remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus in 576 consecutive patients who underwent primary LRYGB. Results showed that LRYGB provided durable weight loss and successful remission of DM2 at 10 years. More long-term follow-up studies are needed to evaluate the late outcomes of LRYGB, especially in younger patients with longer life expectancies.

Summary: The study found that in the repair of initial umbilical hernias in the United States, mesh was more commonly used in men, while younger patients were less likely to receive mesh repair. Hernia size and patient BMI were important factors influencing the choice of surgical technique (including mesh use), while patient age and sex had no impact on operative approach or mesh use.

Summary: Gastric electrical stimulation and pyloric surgery have been shown to be successful treatments for gastroparesis, with durable improvement in nausea and vomiting symptoms. The choice of operation should be guided by patient characteristics and discussion of surgical risks and benefits. Combination GESPP does not appear to confer an advantage over GES or PP alone.

Summary: This study found that nearly 50% of patients undergoing inguinal hernia surgery who received related imaging studies prior to surgery had potentially unnecessary diagnostic radiology studies, with ultrasounds and CT scans being the most common. Patients with a BMI between 25.0 and 29.9 kg/m(2) were more likely to receive unnecessary studies, and primary care providers and emergency department physicians were more likely to order unnecessary imaging.

Summary: Among 108 patients who underwent anti-reflux surgery, normal preoperative acid exposure time and Toupet fundoplication were significantly associated with improvement in GERD-HRQL. The study suggests that a normal preoperative acid exposure time on pH impedance testing is closely related to improved quality of life after anti-reflux surgery.
