Summary: The study found that baseline serum levels of sclerostin are correlated with anthropometric measures of obesity and insulin resistance, particularly with peripheral insulin sensitivity. This suggests a close association between serum sclerostin and glycemic improvements after bariatric surgery.

Summary: There is a higher incidence of post-operative bleeding and blood transfusion requirements in patients on chronic anticoagulation during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Oversewing the sleeve staple line leads to longer operative times without additional benefit in 30-day outcomes.

Summary: This study compared surgeons who had received fellowship training in LSG with those who had not, analyzing data on operating times and outcomes for the first 100 LSG cases of each surgeon. The results showed trained surgeons had faster and more consistent operating times, with no correlation between case number and weight loss outcomes or safety profiles for either group. This suggests that the learning curves for LSG are established during formal fellowship training.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy and safety of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic greater curve plication (LGCP) over 2 years. Results showed that although ESG had a slightly lower weight loss rate compared to other techniques, it displayed better safety profile and shorter hospital stay.

Summary: A cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted to evaluate the use of staple-line reinforcement in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The findings showed that reinforced stapling reduced minor postoperative bleeding but had no significant effect on major bleeding or leaks. Therefore, it is not cost-effective to routinely use staple-line reinforcement in this surgical procedure.

Summary: This retrospective study examined the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on metabolic and hormonal outcomes in pediatric populations. The results showed that SG can improve or resolve diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia, but has minimal effects on cholesterol components, nutritional biomarkers, and thyroid profiles.

Summary: The study found that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy can be successfully performed in patients with complex abdominal wall hernias and severe obesity, with outcomes similar to typical patients undergoing LSG. At follow-up, there was a significant decrease in mean BMI. Further research with larger cohorts is needed to better understand complication rates and long-term outcomes in this population.

Summary: LSG is one of the most performed bariatric procedures globally, but there is still room for improvement in the operation design. By utilizing bioengineering methods, critical aspects of the design can be quantitatively identified to plan interventions and increase the success rate.

Summary: This analysis compared the early postoperative outcomes of primary and conversion/revision sleeve gastrectomy (SG) to gastric bypass (GB) and duodenal switch (DS). The study found that SG had lower early complication risks compared to GB and DS.

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: Through a Delphi protocol, 65 quality indicators were developed for LSG, with participants including bariatric surgeons from all regions in Canada and other key healthcare professionals participating to form a consensus. The application of these quality indicators aims to improve the quality and completeness of LSG operative reports in order to enhance communication of important surgical details and quality measures.

Summary: This study investigated the safety and efficacy of revisional endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (R-ESG) in a large international cohort of patients who experienced weight regain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The results showed that R-ESG is a safe and effective method for facilitating weight loss in patients with weight recidivism after LSG, with sustained results at 1 year.

Summary: The study prospectively assessed the impact of weight loss following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and found a significant reduction in EFT. The analysis showed a notable correlation between EFT and weight, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose, and creatinine.

Summary: This study found that the weight loss 12 months after LSG was associated with factors including patient age, blood glucose level, blood pressure, and psychological features, with a predictive accuracy of 31.5%, indicating a close relationship between baseline metabolic and psychological characteristics and weight loss after surgery.
