Abstract Objective The study's aim was to investigate the impact of a 12‐month adjunctive lifestyle intervention on weight loss and health outcomes after bariatric surgery. Methods A total 153 participants (78.4% females; mean [SD], age 44.2 [10.6] years; BMI 42.4 [5.7] kg/m 2 ) were randomized ( n = 79) control 74). BARI‐LIFESTYLE program combined 17 nutritional‐behavioral tele‐counseling sessions plus once‐weekly supervised exercise for 12 weeks. primary outcome percentage at 6 months post...
Abstract Introduction CONTACT is a national multidisciplinary study assessing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic upon diagnostic and treatment pathways among patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Methods The consecutive newly diagnosed PDAC from pre-COVID-19 cohort (07/01/2019-03/03/2019) were compared to during first wave UK (‘ COVID’ cohort, 16/03/2020-10/05/2020) , 12-month follow-up. Results Among 984 (pre-COVID: n = 483, COVID: 501), COVID was less likely receive staging...
Introduction: The advent of bariatric surgery as a widespread intervention is paralleled by comprehensive data capture in registries following elective surgery. However, significant challenges hinder tracking the incidence and nature severe complications context As prevalence procedures escalates, establishment dedicated, prospective complication registry becomes imperative. Such an initiative would facilitate nuanced understanding surgical emergency (BSE) within current healthcare milieu,...
Surgical errors are acts or omissions resulting in negative consequences and/or increased operating time. This study describes surgeon-reported laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Abstract Context There are limited comparative studies between one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) vs Roux-en-Y (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on body composition musculoskeletal health. Objective To compare changes in composition, areal bone mineral density (aBMD), muscle strength, physical function the first year following OAGB, RYGB, SG within a UK-based healthcare setting.

Remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be achieved by many, but not all, people following bariatric/metabolic surgery. The mechanisms underlying T2D remission remain incompletely understood. This observational study aimed to identify novel weight-loss independent clinical, metabolic and genetic factors that associate with using comprehensive phenotyping.Ten patients without (non-remitters) were matched 10 (remitters) for age, sex, surgery, body weight, BMI, post-operative weight loss,...
We propose a safe, simple, and novel method to harvest fat using standard liposuction cannula Redivac or alternative closed-suction drain. The authors have used this technique for both 'dry' 'wet' liposuction. This is easy perform cost-effective whilst providing silent relatively atraumatic harvest. lower negative pressure compared with traditional harvesting systems likely preserves integrity lipofilling. maximises resources already held within hospital environment.
