One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) showed similar improvements in renal function one year post-surgery, with OAGB leading to greater weight loss. Both procedures resulted in significantly higher estimated glomerular filtration rates. Younger age and lower baseline renal function were associated with better postoperative outcomes. OAGB could be a viable option for […]

Bariatric intervention significantly reduced BMI and intrahepatic fat in patients with obesity, leading to improvements in histologic features of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score decreased significantly at various time points post-intervention. These findings suggest that bariatric intervention may be an effective alternative for obese patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis unresponsive to […]

Analysis of revisional and conversional sleeve gastrectomy procedures with concurrent hiatal hernia repair showed increased operative time, risk of postoperative pneumonia, and readmission within thirty days for patients with hiatal hernia repair. Despite these findings, patients undergoing laparoscopic revisional or conversional sleeve gastrectomy with hiatal hernia repair did not experience higher risks of death, postoperative […]

Individuals with lower polygenic risk scores experienced better weight loss outcomes after bariatric surgery compared to those with higher scores, especially in patients undergoing roux-en-y gastric bypass. Genetic background, assessed through polygenic risk scores, plays a significant role in long-term weight loss post-surgery, alongside factors like sex, age, and initial BMI. These findings suggest the […]

Significant weight loss and remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus were observed in patients post-sleeve gastrectomy. Patients exhibited low citrulline and high I-FABP levels preoperatively, which normalized postoperatively. The study found a positive correlation between the I-FABP/citrulline ratio and weight, BMI, glucose, insulin, and c-peptide levels. Sleeve gastrectomy not only improves enteroendocrine function but also […]

Male patients had slightly greater weight loss and higher complication rates compared to females following bariatric surgery. However, these differences were not clinically significant. Providers should consider referring males earlier for surgery given their higher comorbidity rates. This study highlights the need to assess sex differences in outcomes to personalize bariatric care effectively. Journal Article […]

Findings from the BAMBINI trial show that bariatric surgery significantly increased rates of spontaneous ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and obesity compared to medical care. The surgical group had 2.5 times more ovulations than the medical group, indicating greater efficacy in improving fertility prospects. Although complications were more frequent in the surgery […]

One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and sleeve gastrectomy with loop duodenojejunal bypass (SG + LoopDJB) demonstrate similar weight loss, type 2 diabetes remission, and lipidemia improvements at 1 year post-operation. OAGB presents higher hypoalbuminemia but lower gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms compared to SG + LoopDJB. Pylorus preservation in SG + LoopDJB may reduce hypoalbuminemia risk, […]

Preoperative risk factors, including age, gender, hypertension, and revisional bariatric surgery, are associated with early postoperative bleeding after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Further primary studies are needed to explore additional risk factors for this complication, aiding in patient risk stratification and optimization. Male gender was identified as a significant predictor of early postoperative bleeding, emphasizing the […]
