Summary: This study aimed to identify the risk factors of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The study found that 16.1% of patients developed de novo GERD symptoms after LSG, and these symptoms were significantly associated with older age and lower BMI.

Summary: This study suggests that omentopexy does not have a significant effect on reducing the incidence of de novo GERD after LSG. There were no significant differences observed, even in individuals with higher BMI and weight.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (HP) in specimens of sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and to investigate the association between HP and early complications as well as the impact of preoperative HP eradication on outcomes. The results showed that the presence of HP did not seem to affect the early outcomes of SG, and HP eradication did not change the early postoperative course.

Summary: This study compared 4-year health care expenditures after RYGB and sleeve gastrectomy, finding no significant differences in all-cause mortality and number of hospital admissions between the two procedures, but more frequent nonelective hospitalizations with RYGB. Patients who underwent RYGB had a lower rate of subsequent bariatric procedures.

Summary: After 5 years of follow-up, it was found that LRYGB resulted in greater weight loss and better improvement in hypertension compared to LSG, but there was no significant difference in remission of T2DM, obstructive sleep apnoea, or quality of life. The complication rate was higher after LRYGB, but the individual burden for patients with complications was similar after both operations.

Summary: The number of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies performed in Japan is lower than in other countries, despite the large number of eligible patients. This is due to strict health insurance regulations, which may limit access to necessary devices for postoperative complications. Understanding and improving the management of staple line leakage, a common complication, is crucial. Increasing education and collaboration between healthcare professionals is recommended.

Summary: This observational study reports the efficacy and safety of endoscopic full-thickness resection combined with purse-string sutures in treating postoperative fistula after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The results showed that this innovative endoscopic strategy is safe, effective, and allows early oral feeding.

Summary: The study evaluates the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) performed by novice bariatric surgeons in a non-tertiary hospital. The results show that LSG can be safely and effectively performed if patients are cautiously selected. The study also indicates that the operation time is the only significant difference between before and after the learning curve.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of weight loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on cardiac structural and functional remodeling in obese Chinese. The results showed that weight loss after LSG effectively improved cardiac structural abnormalities in obese Chinese, but did not improve cardiac function.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effect of distal mesogastric fixation on leakage and axial rotation after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The results showed that distal mesogastric fixation after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy reduced axial gastric rotation and subsequently decreased gastric leakage.

Summary: This study compared patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG) during and outside of the COVID-19 lockdown period, finding a negative impact on weight loss in the first year post-surgery for those affected by the lockdown. There was no significant difference in remission rate of obesity-related comorbidities between the lockdown and control groups, but larger studies are needed to confirm these results.

Summary: Morbid obesity is a chronic disease with a rising incidence, and surgical treatment has shown superior outcomes compared to conventional weight loss measures. This study evaluated the long-term weight loss outcomes, comorbidity reduction, and adverse effects of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD), and Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) at 10 years. RYGB and BPD resulted in significant weight loss, with no observed differences in diabetes resolution and adverse outcomes. Longer follow-up reports are important for comparing the outcomes of different bariatric operations.

Summary: Currently, the global pandemic of obesity has led to the search for effective and permanent treatment methods. Obesity coexists with many diseases and requires multidisciplinary treatment. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is an effective surgical method for treating obesity and improving lipid profile parameters.

Summary: This study compared the long-term survival rates of sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass in obese patients and found that the overall survival rate of sleeve gastrectomy is comparable to gastric bypass and may even be better in recent years. Additionally, patients with diabetes had a higher all-cause mortality rate after sleeve gastrectomy compared to gastric bypass.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and management strategies for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The study found that female gender, smoking, preoperative GERD, gastropexy, and severity of pain were identified as independent risk factors for PONV, while antral preservation, opioid-free analgesia, and intraoperative combined analgesia were found to be protective. Combined intravenous ondansetron and metoclopramide improved PONV, and additional drugs like dexamethasone and antihistamines were used for persistent PONV.
