- Gastric carcinoid tumor after laparoscopic gastric banding: Case report of a patient with weight regain. [Journal Article]
- IJInt J Surg Case Rep 2018 Sep 04; 51:275-276
- CONCLUSIONS: Gastric carcinoid increased incidence among the obese population, although the causing mechanisms are not clear, yet it is likely that metabolic and hormonal effects of the obesity play a role. The resection may be performed either endoscopically when the lesions are small, or surgically according to the tumor type and size.The resective gastric bypass or gastrectomy with anastomosis by Roux- en- Y bypass may be considered as a treatment of choice for patients who after bariatric surgery were diagnosed with gastric carcinoid and weight regain.
- High cardiovascular risk patients benefit more from bariatric surgery than low cardiovascular risk patients. [Journal Article]
- SESurg Endosc 2018 Sep 17
- CONCLUSIONS: Study results suggest ASCVD and FRS are equally reduced after bariatric surgery, especially after LSG and LRYGB. Moreover, preoperative FRS and ASCVD risk score showed an inversely proportional relationship with %EBMIL loss at 12 months.
- A Nationwide Safety Analysis of Discharge on the First Postoperative Day After Bariatric Surgery in Selected Patients. [Journal Article]
- OSObes Surg 2018 Sep 17

- Comparative analysis of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedures for the treatment of morbid obesity. [Journal Article]
- AIAnn Ital Chir 2018 Jul 31; 7
- Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been considered as the most efficient method in bariatric surgery. Indeed, Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) which is easier to do, has been increasingly used ...
- Single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) as a revisional surgery. [Journal Article]
- SOSurg Obes Relat Dis 2018 Aug 14
- CONCLUSIONS: SADI-S is safe and effective as a revision surgery for patients who experienced weight regain after LAGB. However, multicenter randomized controlled studies with larger sample sizes are needed to explore the long-term efficacy and safety of SADI-S.

- Efficacy of bariatric surgery in improving metabolic outcomes in patients with diabetes. A 24-month follow-up study from a single center in the UAE. [Journal Article]
- DMDiabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2018; 11:459-467
- CONCLUSIONS: Bariatric surgery was effective over a follow-up period of 2 years in achieving significant weight loss as well as resulting in improvements in glycemic control, blood pressure, and fatty liver.

- Does rating with a checklist improve the effect of E-learning for cognitive and practical skills in bariatric surgery? A rater-blinded, randomized-controlled trial. [Journal Article]
- SESurg Endosc 2018 Sep 12
- CONCLUSIONS: This study presents evidence that the use of a BOSATS checklist during E-learning helps trainees to improve their knowledge acquisition with E-learning. The transfer from mental training to the simulated OR environment seems to be partially enhanced by use of the BOSATS checklist. However, more research is required to investigate potential benefits.

- Anastomotic Strictures After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: a Cohort Study from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. [Journal Article]
- OSObes Surg 2018 Sep 11
- CONCLUSIONS: Most strictures present within 2 months and are successfully treated with two dilatations or less. Dilating a strictured gastrojejunostomy entails a risk of perforation (3.8%).

- The Type of Bariatric Surgery Impacts the Risk of Acute Pancreatitis: A Nationwide Study. [Journal Article]
- CTClin Transl Gastroenterol 2018 Sep 12; 9(9):179
- CONCLUSIONS: More patients develop AP within 6 months after VSG compared to RYGB and controls. This risk is highest for younger patients and those with gallstones. Prospective studies examining mechanisms and prevention are warranted.

- Outcomes After Metabolic Surgery in Asians-a Meta-analysis. [Journal Article]
- OSObes Surg 2018 Sep 08
- CONCLUSIONS: RYGB results in better weight loss compared to SG in Asians, but the rate of T2DM resolution/improvement and improvement of hypertension appears to be similar. In Asian patients without symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux disease in whom metabolic surgery is performed mainly for T2DM and metabolic syndrome, SG may be the surgery of choice.
