Abstract Introduction The sleeve gastrectomy (SG) often requires conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) due gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD). Many post-bariatric patients seek body-contouring surgery such as abdominoplasty remove unwanted skin and fat. While the number of abdominoplasties performed in is increasing each year, surgeries accordance. This study evaluates impact with prior SG on development GERD need for RYGB. Methods A retrospective was conducted 630 who underwent...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Despite metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) being the most effective option for weight loss reducing obesity-related comorbidities, semaglutide presents a valuable noninvasive alternative, offering substantial with lower risk of adverse effects. Objectives This study aimed to compare outcomes between patients receiving those undergoing revisional (RBS) due suboptimal clinical response (SCR) or recurrent gain (RWG). Methods A retrospective cohort was...
Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is done by one incision through the umbilicus. Cholecystectomy lends itself well to a SILS approach. As these procedures have become more widely adapted, it important determine approximate learning curve decrease two surgical endpoints: (1) time completion of procedure; and (2) decreased incidence conversion.We prospectively reviewed our series 50 cholecystectomies using approach between May 2008 September 2008. All cases were performed advanced...
Background: The safety of laparoscopic surgery in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients remains unclear. presence the virus within peritoneal fluid and tissues is not known. We report an asymptomatic COVID-19 patient who underwent appendectomy with negative sampling for SARS-CoV-2. Materials Methods: During a standard 3 port samples fluid, brushings, surgical smoke plum were collected. Specific real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction targeting used to detect samples. Results: was...
Acute appendicitis is one of the most common causes abdominal pain that a general surgeon will encounter. We describe our modification to laparoscopic appendectomy: single-incision (SILS) appendectomy completed entirely intracorporeally. From September 2008 2009, retrospective review electronic medical record was performed in all patients who underwent SILS specifically analyze demographic characteristics, time operating room perform appendectomy, length postoperative hospital stay, and...
Background: To optimize results reporting after penile cancer (PC) surgery, we proposed a Tetrafecta and assessed its ability to predict overall survival (OS) probabilities. Methods: A purpose-built multicenter, multi-national database was queried for stage I–IIIB PC, requiring inguinal lymphadenectomy (ILND), from 2015 onwards. Kaplan–Meier (KM) method differences in OS between patients achieving or not. Univariable multivariable regression analyses identified predictors. Results: total of...
