RESUMEN
To evaluate a novel Magnetic Robotic Platform during reduced-port laparoscopic surgery in a prospective, multicenter clinical trial. Background: Magnetic surgery has been developed to increase the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, with prior studies demonstrating its clinical benefits. Robotic-assisted surgery increases the surgeon's control over the instruments, offering less dependency on an assistant. The synergism of both techniques may escalate these individual benefits. Methods: A prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study was performed to assess the safety and performance of a robotic magnetic surgical system (Levita Robotic Platform). The investigational device was used during reduced-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic bariatric surgery. The primary endpoints evaluated were safety and feasibility. Patients were followed for 30 days post-procedure. Results: Between May 2021 and December 2021, 30 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery were recruited. There were 22 females and 8 males with a mean age of 39 years (22-69 years) and median body mass index of 33 kg/m2 (21.6-50.4 kg/m2). Procedures included 15 gastric sleeves, 14 cholecystectomies, and 1 Roux en-Y gastric bypass. The procedures were successfully performed by utilizing the robotic magnetic surgical system and a reduced-port technique in all 30 patients. No device-related serious adverse events were reported. The device provided adequate visualization and retraction in all cases. Conclusions: This clinical trial shows for the first time that this novel Magnetic Robotic Platform is safe and feasible in reduced-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic bariatric surgery. This robotic platform brings the benefits of magnetic surgery in terms of reduction of incisions plus increasing the control for the surgeon.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Weight regain (WR) has been an emerging problem after Roux-en Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and little is known about the mechanisms of WR after RYGB. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the mechanisms of WR after RYGB through the postprandial gut hormones response, particularly glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which regulates appetite control, energy expenditure, body composition, physical activities, dietary intake, and psychological factors. SETTING: Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina. METHODS: A cross sectional study of 34 patients who underwent RYGB at least 2 years and achieved ≥50% of excess weight loss at 1year was conducted. The subjects were categorized into WR group or sustained weight loss group, based upon whether their WR was ≥15% of postoperative lowest weight. RESULTS: The WR group had less augmented postprandial GLP-1 response but exaggerated hyperinsulinemia. Postprandial peptide YY, ghrelin, and glucose were not different between group. Patients who regained weight required less weight-adjusted energy expenditure and had more percentage body fat and less percentage lean mass. The caloric intake and diet composition were comparable between groups; however, the WR group had higher depression scores, binge eating scales, and hunger rating and spent significantly less time on vigorous exercise. CONCLUSIONS: The mechanisms of WR in patients who were initially successful after RYGB are complex and involved not only the role of postprandial gut hormone response but are also related to energy expenditure adaptation and body composition changes. Moreover, food preference and physical activity may play roles in weight control after bariatric surgery. Further prospective controlled trial is needed to explore the mechanisms of WR.

BACKGROUND: Needlescopic instruments create a 3-mm incision and may result in less pain and superior cosmesis. There is limited understanding of the effectiveness of needlescopic instruments in patients with a body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg/m2. We report perioperative outcomes and perception of body image with use of needlescopic instruments after bariatric surgery. METHODS: Laparoscopic bariatric procedures were performed on 30 adults at a single academic medical center from January to December 2017. Patients were randomized to conventional laparoscopy (LAP) or needlescopic (NEED) surgery. The Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ) and Patient Scar Assessment Questionnaire (PSAQ) were completed at 6 months and 1 year. Univariate analysis was performed on perioperative outcomes and survey scores. RESULTS: Surgery was completed on patients in the LAP group (N = 13) and compared to the NEED group (N = 17). The mean BMI was 41.4 kg/m2 LAP and 41.1 kg/m2 NEED. The most common procedure was Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), with 13 RYGB in LAP and 12 RYGB in NEED (P = 0.76).The operative time was not significantly different between the LAP and the NEED group (209.5 ± 66.1 vs 181.9 ± 58.1 min, P = 0.48). There was no leak or mortality in the 30-day follow-up period. Within MBSRQ, the patient's appearance self-evaluation score was similar between LAP and NEED (2.5 ± 0.6 vs 2.4 ± 0.6, P = 0.61). Within PSAQ, the mean satisfaction score for incision appearance was also similar between LAP and NEED (16.1± 2.9 vs 15.4 ± 4.6, P = 0.85). Incision-related perceptions remained consistent at 6 months and 1 year after bariatric surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Needlescopic instruments are safe and a viable alternative to use during bariatric surgery. Appearance and perception of scar were similar between groups. Further studies with needlescopic instruments should include patients with a BMI > 35 kg/m2 and compare additional factors associated with body image.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Whether glycemic control, as opposed to diabetes status, is associated with the severity of NAFLD is open for study. We aimed to evaluate whether degree of glycemic control in the years preceding liver biopsy predicts the histological severity of NASH. APPROACH AND RESULTS: Using the Duke NAFLD Clinical Database, we examined patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD/NASH (n = 713) and the association of liver injury with glycemic control as measured by hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). The study cohort was predominantly female (59%) and White (84%) with median (interquartile range) age of 50 (42, 58) years; 49% had diabetes (n = 348). Generalized linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, race, diabetes, body mass index, and hyperlipidemia were used to assess the association between mean HbA1c over the year preceding liver biopsy and severity of histological features of NAFLD/NASH. Histological features were graded and staged according to the NASH Clinical Research Network system. Group-based trajectory analysis was used to examine patients with at least three HbA1c (n = 298) measures over 5 years preceding clinically indicated liver biopsy. Higher mean HbA1c was associated with higher grade of steatosis and ballooned hepatocytes, but not lobular inflammation. Every 1% increase in mean HbA1c was associated with 15% higher odds of increased fibrosis stage (OR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.01, 1.31). As compared with good glycemic control, moderate control was significantly associated with increased severity of ballooned hepatocytes (OR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.01, 3.01; P = 0.048) and hepatic fibrosis (HF; OR, 4.59; 95% CI, 2.33, 9.06; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Glycemic control predicts severity of ballooned hepatocytes and HF in NAFLD/NASH, and thus optimizing glycemic control may be a means of modifying risk of NASH-related fibrosis progression.

Objective: Retrospective case-matched comparison of magnetic liver retraction to a bedrail-mounted liver retractor in bariatric surgery specifically targeting short-term postoperative outcomes, including pain and resource utilization. Background: Retraction of the liver is essential to ensure appropriate visualization of the hiatus in bariatric surgery. Externally mounted retractors require a dedicated port or an additional incision. Magnetic devices provide effective liver retraction without the need of an incision. Methods: The sample consisted of primary and revisional bariatric surgery patients, including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) operations. Propensity score analysis was used to match patients with magnetic retraction to patients with a bedrail-mounted retractor with a 1:2 ratio using preoperative characteristics. Baseline characteristics and postprocedure outcomes were compared using two-sample t-tests or Wilcoxon rank sum tests and chi-square or Fisher's exact test as appropriate. Results: One hundred patients met inclusion criteria for the use of magnetic liver retraction (45 RYGB, 35 SG, 20 BPD-DS) with 196 suitable matched external retractor patients identified. Patients were matched and comparable for all preoperative characteristics except for transversus abdominus plane block (27% versus 47%). Patients in the magnet cohort had significantly decreased mean 12-hour postoperative pain scores (2.9 versus 4.2, P = .004) and decreased hospital length of stay (LOS) (1.5 versus 1.9 days, P = .005) while operating room supply were higher in the magnet cohort ($4600 versus $4213, P = .0001). Conclusions: Magnetic liver retraction in bariatric surgery is associated with decreased postoperative pain scores, decreased hospital LOS, and increased operating supply costs.

BACKGROUND: Exposure of the surgical field is an essential component of minimally invasive surgery. Liver retraction is an important element of bariatric procedures because visualization of the stomach and gastroesophageal junction is key. The magnetic surgical system provides a well-tolerated and effective option for adjustable liver retraction without the use of a dedicated port. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety profile and effectiveness of the magnetic surgical system in patients undergoing bariatric procedures. SETTING: Two investigational sites in Chile. METHODS: A prospective, single-arm study (ClinicalTrials.govNCT03508674) with adherence to Good Clinical Practices and ISO 14155:2011(E) was undertaken to evaluate the safety profile and effectiveness of the magnetic surgical system in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Patient follow-up occurred at 7 and 30 days postprocedure. RESULTS: A total of 50 patients who met the inclusion criteria had a body mass index ranging from 28.4 to 58.2 kg/m2. All procedures were completed without complications or conversions. The average overall procedure time was 61 minutes, and the amount of coupling time between the magnetic controller and the detachable grasper was 37 minutes. In all cases the device was able to adequately retract the liver to achieve an effective exposure of the target tissue and perform the bariatric procedure. A total of 24 adverse effects were reported throughout the course of the study. All device-related adverse effects were mild in severity and resolved with no clinical sequelae. CONCLUSION: The magnetic surgical system is a well-tolerated and effective option for liver retraction in minimally invasive and bariatric surgery in patients with a varying range of body mass indexes.

Endoscopy is essential in the assessment and treatment of the bariatric patient, especially in the postoperative state. Since bariatric surgery is increasing exponentially, endoscopists should be familiar with the anatomy and how to manage possible complications. New less invasive therapeutic tools will have a major impact on the prognosis of these patients. Dreaded complications such as leaks, stenosis or weight regain can be successfully assessed and treated by endoscopy. Postoperative evaluation of symptoms requires the precise search of details that can change patient's management.

BACKGROUND: The DiaRem score has proven to be a reliable predictor tool for diabetes remission in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), as well as laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). To our knowledge there are no studies that analyze DiaRem in patients undergoing biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS). OBJECTIVE: To test the validity of the DiaRem score as a predictor of type 2 diabetes remission at 1 year post surgery in patients who underwent LABG, LSG, RYGB, and BPD/DS, as well as to develop and test a novel model that uses DiaRem to predict type 2 diabetes remission by procedure type (LABG, LSG, RYGB, and BPD/DS). SETTING: University Medical Center, United States. METHODS: A retrospective review of institutional records identified patients who underwent primary bariatric procedures (LAGB, LSG, RYGB, and BPD/DS) between January 1, 2000 to April 10, 2017, had a diagnosis of diabetes and had complete preoperative and 1-year postoperative follow-up information. A univariable logistic regression model was fit to assess the association between DiaRem score and diabetes remission. A multivariable logistic regression model was created, including procedure type and other preoperative characteristics. The area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) was calculated to analyze the performance of both models for the entire cohort as well as a BPD/DS only subgroup. RESULTS: A total study cohort of 602 was obtained. The majority of patients underwent RYGB (456; 75.7%), followed by LSG (84; 14.0%), BPD/DS (35; 5.8%), and LAGB (27; 4.5%). The multivariable regression model with RYGB as the reference procedure, showed that BPD/DS results in higher odds of type 2 diabetes remission at 1 year post surgery (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 3.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.27, 8.51), while LSG (adjusted OR .52, 95%CI .29, .93) and LAGB resulted in lower odds (adjusted OR.23, 95% CI.09,.60). The univariable DiaRem model and the novel model were determined to be moderately strong in classifying diabetes remission in the entire cohort (AUROC: .79, 95% CI: .75, .83 and .82, 95% CI: .79, .85, respectively) as well as in the BPD/DS sub-group (AUROC: .85, 95% CI: .70, .99 and .84, 95% CI .69, .99, respectively). CONCLUSION: Our study shows that the DiaRem score is a reliable tool to predict diabetes remission, amongst a wide variety of different procedures as well as specifically those receiving BPD/DS. Our novel model, which takes into account procedure type, not only shows that BPD/DS patients have the highest odds of diabetes remission than other procedures, but also that this model performs significantly better at predicting diabetes remission than DiaRem alone.

BACKGROUND: Racial disparities in postoperative complications have been demonstrated in bariatric surgery, yet the relationship of race to complication severity is unknown. STUDY DESIGN: Adult laparoscopic primary bariatric procedures were queried from the 2015 and 2016 MBSAQIP registry. Adjusted logistic and multinomial regressions were used to examine the relationships between race and 30-day complications categorized by the Clavien-Dindo grading system. RESULTS: A total of 212,970 patients were included in the regression analyses. For Black patients, readmissions were higher (OR = 1.39, p < 0.0001) and the odds of a Grade 1, 3, 4, or 5 complication were increased compared with White patients (OR = 1.21, p < 0.0001; OR = 1.21, p < 0.0001; OR = 1.22, p = 0.01; and OR = 1.43, p = 0.04) respectively. The odds of a Grade 3 complication for Hispanic patients were higher compared with White patients (OR = 1.59, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Black patients have higher odds of readmission and multiple grades of complications (including death) compared with White patients. Hispanic patients have higher odds of a Grade 3 complication compared with White patients. No significant differences were found with other races. Specific causes of these disparities are beyond the limitations of the dataset and stand as a topic for future inquiry.

Robotic-assisted surgery has represented a revolution for surgical practice and minimally invasive surgery. The case volume is increasing exponentially and the numbers continue to grow particularly owing to urology and general surgery subspecialties. Nonetheless, robotic surgery is not exempt from complications, which can occur during the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods, and in particular with issues related to patient preparation, team dynamics, equipment failure, complications related to the surgical act, and surgical outcomes.

INTRODUCTION: Single-anastomosis duodenal switch has been suggested to be an effective bariatric procedure that offers excellent weight loss and by lengthening the common channel the potential to reduce micronutrient deficiencies. PURPOSE: To evaluate the weight loss, comorbidity resolution and the 1-year nutritional outcomes of the single-anastomosis duodenal switch (SADS) procedure. SETTING: Multiple US Hospitals. METHODS: From October 2014 to January 2017, 120 patients were enrolled at six sites across the USA and underwent the SADS procedure. Weight loss, comorbidities, quality of life, and adverse events were followed post-procedure for 12 months. RESULTS: At 1, 6, and 12 months, 98.3%, 85.5%, and 77.1% of the patients were available for assessment, respectively. At 12 months, patients showed significantly reduced body mass index when compared to baseline (46.8 ± 5.8 vs 29.8 ± 4.4, P < 0.001 respectively). Sixty-five patients had type 2 diabetes at baseline; however, 11 patients lost to follow-up. Of the available data (54 patients), 96.3% of the patients had a resolution of type 2 diabetes by 12 months with a mean A1C reduction from 7.8 ± 1.6 to 5.3 ± 0.7. Additionally, there were reductions in hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea, and hypertension at 12 months. Patient gastroesophageal reflux disease satisfaction and quality of life (SF-36) scores were significantly higher at 12 months post-procedure (P < 0.001 in all cases) while 12-month protein levels remained at normal values. There were abnormalities of parathyroid hormone and vitamin D at 1 year with all other nutritional markers being not significantly different at 1 year from baseline. There were 10, IIIb, or greater complications according to the Clavien-Dindo scoring system during the study period, not all of which were related to the surgery. CONCLUSIONS: SADS is a highly efficacious weight loss procedure with significant comorbidity reduction at 1 year. At 1 year, complications and vitamin and mineral deficits appear to be consistent with other malabsorption operations. Long-term follow-up is needed, especially around complications and vitamin deficiencies.

Background and study aims Sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure in the world. Leaks are the most feared complications after this procedure. Endoscopic septotomy has been described as a resolution technique that could be useful in the setting of late and chronic leaks. We present our experience in the management of gastric leaks with this advanced endoscopic technique. Patients and methods Retrospective review of patients who have been admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to December 2018. Results Five patients were found. All had their index surgery in outside hospitals. The average age was 51 years (range 40â-â69), and four patients were female. Mean time from LSG to leak presentation was 15 days (range 7â-â25). Mean time from leak presentation to septotomy procedure was 61 days (range 21â-â110). All patients were treated with sleeve dilatation before septotomy using endoscopic achalasia balloons. Mean procedure time was 79 minutes (range 55â-â125). Success was achieved in 80â% of patients, and no complications related to the procedure were identified. One patient underwent total gastrectomy for definitive management. Mean follow-up time was 14.25 months (range 6â-â26), and the average time for fistula closure was 60.25 days. Conclusion Endoscopic septotomy is safe and effective for management of chronic leaks after LSG. Associated non-selective dilatation may be a crucial step to allow distal patency and axis rectification for appropriate leak closure.

This study aims to determine if cosmetic outcomes play an important role for patients undergoing bariatric surgery, when considering a surgical approach. A video-animation describing open, conventional laparoscopic, and reduced incision magnetic assisted surgery was shown. The patient's perceptions of the surgical approaches were recorded using an anonymous survey. Fifty-one patients completed the survey. The median age was 45 (IQR: 36-51), and 38 (74.5%) were women. Cosmesis was found to be an important factor (77%) for selecting a surgical approach. Ninety percent of the patients believe that reduced incision magnet-assisted surgery provides superior cosmesis. Cosmetic results may play a determinant role when choosing a surgical approach.

BACKGROUND: Accelerated bone loss is a known complication after bariatric surgery. Bone mineral density has been shown to decrease significantly after Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) effects on bone density are largely unknown. This should be considered for those with increased preoperative risk for bone loss, such as postmenopausal females. METHODS: This prospective clinical trial included postmenopausal patients, with BMI ≥ 35 k/m2, being evaluated for either RYGB or SG. Patients with history of osteoporosis, estrogen hormone replacement therapy, active smoking, glucocorticoid use, or weight > 295 lb were excluded. Patients underwent DEXA scans preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively with measurement of total body bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) as well as regional site-specific BMD and BMC. RESULTS: A total of 28 patients were enrolled. 16 (57.1%) patients underwent RYGB and 12 (42.9%) patients underwent SG. Median preoperative BMI was 44.2 k/m2 (IQR 39.9, 46.6). Median change in BMI at 12 months was - 11.3 k/m2 (IQR - 12.8, - 7.9). A significant reduction in total body BMC was seen when comparing preoperative measurements to postoperative measurements (2358.32 vs 2280.68 grams; p = 0.002). Regional site BMC and BMD significantly decreased in the ribs and spine postoperatively (p = < 0.02) representing the greatest loss in the axial skeleton. Comparing those who underwent RYGB to SG there was no significant difference between the two groups when evaluating changes in total or regional site BMD. CONCLUSION: Postmenopausal women were found to have decreased BMD and BMC after RYGB and SG, suggesting that high-risk women may benefit from postoperative DEXA screening. Further study is needed to determine the clinical significance of these findings. It is unknown if these changes in BMD are due to modifiable factors (Vitamin D level, activity level, hormone status, etc.), and whether BMD and BMC is recovered beyond 1 year.

Resumen La cirugía ha pasado de ser una ciencia rudimentaria caracterizada por el padecimiento de insufribles dolores por falta de anestésicos, de realizarse en lugares poco acondicionados y de utilizarse instrumental poco ortodoxo con consecuencias nefastas para el desenlace de los procedimientos debido principalmente a las infecciones, a ser un campo desarrollado donde la tecnología juega un rol trascendental para el objetivo final que es el bienestar del paciente. En las últimas décadas, la cirugía ha pasado del acceso abierto al laparoscópico, cirugía por orificios naturales (NOTES), cirugía laparoscópica de puerto único, hasta la cirugía robótica. Es un hecho que estamos en un momento de la historia de la humanidad en el cual el desarrollo de las tecnologías a cambiado nuestra vida cotidiana, así como también el de nuestra practica quirúrgica diaria y no podemos ser ajenos a esta. El propósito de esta revisión es mostrar la situación actual de la cirugía robótica gastrointestinal y sus perspectivas a futuro. Para esto se realizó una búsqueda en la base de datos medline con las palabras claves "review robotic surgery, robotic digestive surgery, robotic bariatric surgery, robotic esophagectomy, robotic gastrectomy, robotic hepatectomy, robotic pancreatectomy, robotic hernia repair". Además una búsqueda de datos en la web sobre "intutive investorpresentation, future of robotic surgery, digital surgery, new robotic system in surgery, trends in robotic surgery".
It is a fact that we are at a moment in the history of humanity in which the development of technologies has changed our daily lives, as well as that of our daily surgical practice. The fast evolution in technology has allowed surgery to evolve from a rudimentary science characterized by painful, highly invasive procedures, to a rapidly developing and precise field with ever improving patient outcomes. In recent decades, gastrointestinal surgery has gone from open access to laparoscopy, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), single-port laparoscopic surgery, and more recently, robotic assisted surgery. The purpose of this review is to show the current situation of robotic gastrointestinal surgery and its future prospects. A literature review was conducted in the Medline database with the keywords "revision of robotic surgery, robotic digestive surgery, bariatric robotic surgery, robotic esophagectomy, robotic gastrectomy, robotic hepatectomy, robotic pancreatectomy, robotic hernia repair". In addition, online search engine data was conducted using the following key words "intutive investor presentation, future of robotic surgery, digital surgery, new robotic system in surgery, trends in robotic surgery"

Background: Appropriate tissue retraction is essential in laparoscopic surgery, and colorectal operations often require an additional incision and trocar that can disturb visualization and maneuverability. Each incision carries an increased risk for complications as well as increased pain and cosmetic issues. Magnetic devices have been developed for a less invasive retraction. The objective of this study is to report our initial experience using magnet retraction. Methods: Ten consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal procedures by a single surgeon using a magnetic retractor (Levita Magnetics® Surgical System, San Mateo, CA) between October 2017 and June 2018 at Duke Regional Hospital in Durham, NC, were included. Results: The cases included four single-port right colectomies, one sigmoidectomy, and five rectopexies. Nine cases were completed laparoscopically, as one right colectomy required conversion due to adhesions and bulky specimen. Indications included adenocarcinoma, diverticular disease, and rectal prolapse. The magnet was successfully used for uterus, colon, or colonic pedicle retraction. No intraoperative or 30-day complications were observed. Conclusion: Magnetic surgical retractors are a safe, dynamic, and incision-less option for surgical field exposure during laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Reduced trocars decrease tissue trauma, enhances maneuverability, and potentially improves outcomes; however, further studies are required.

La derivación biliopancreática con cruce duodenal (BPD-DS) es el procedimiento bariátrico que ha mostrado los mejores resultados en cuanto a pérdida de peso y resolución de comorbilidades. Sin embargo, su adopción ha sido lenta, principalmente debido a sus complicaciones nutricionales y dificultad técnica. Dado esto, algunos autores han propuesto variaciones de este procedimiento. Estas están basadas en disminuir las anastomosis a solo una, y realizarla con un asa tipo loop (sin derivación biliopancreática). Estos cambios podrían reproducir las ventajas del BPD-DS, y eliminar algunas de sus desventajas. En este artículo, mostramos los resultados de estas variaciones comparadas con el BPD-DS, y cómo sus resultados prometedores pueden tener como consecuencia una nueva aproximación a la población que sufre de obesidad y sus comorbilidades
Biliopancreatic Diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) is the bariatric surgery that has shown the better results regarding long-term weight loss and comorbidities resolution. Nevertheless, BPD-DS' adoption has been slow, mainly due to its nutritional complications, and technical complexity. Given this, some authors have proposed surgical variations of this effective procedure. These new procedures are based on reducing the anastomosis to only one, and doing it just a loop anastomosis (no biliopacreatic diversion). These changes might bring to us the advantages of BPD-DS, and eliminate some of its disadvantages. In this article, we show the results of these variations compared with BPD-DS, and how their promising results could be a new approach for obese population and bariatric surgery.

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery has undergone vast progress during the last 2 decades, translating into improved patient outcomes. A prime example of this development is the use of magnetic devices in gastrointestinal surgery. Magnetic devices have been developed and implemented for both laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery, providing alternatives for retraction, anchoring, and compression among other critical surgical steps. The purpose of this review is to explore the use of magnetic devices in gastrointestinal surgery, and describe different magnetic technologies, current applications, and future directions. METHODS: IRB approval and written consent were not required. In this review of the existing literature, we offer a critical examination at the use of magnets for gastrointestinal surgery currently described. We show the experiences done to date, the benefits in laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery, and additional future implications. RESULTS: Magnetic devices have been tested in the field of gastrointestinal surgery, both in the contexts of animal and human experimentation. Magnets have been mainly used for retraction, anchoring, mobilization, and anastomosis. CONCLUSION: Research into the use of magnets in gastrointestinal surgery offers promising results. The integration of these technologies in minimally invasive surgery provides benefits in various procedures. However, more research is needed to continually evaluate their impact and implementation into surgical practice.

BACKGROUND: In bariatric surgery, retraction of the liver is essential to ensure appropriate visualization of the surgical field. Many devices are currently employed for this purpose. Generally, these devices require constant use of a port, or an additional incision. Magnetic technology provides a novel solution, by allowing liver retraction during bariatric procedures that do not require a dedicated port nor an extra incision. METHODS: Retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent magnetic-assisted liver retraction during primary or revisional laparoscopic bariatric surgery at the Duke Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery between October 2016 and August 2017. RESULTS: The 73 cases were comprised of 29 primary sleeve gastrectomies, 24 gastric bypasses, 10 duodenal switches, 3 gastric band removals, and 7 revisions. All cases were completed laparoscopically. Mean pre-operative BMI was 43.6 kg/m2 (range 18.3-67.7 kg/m2). Mean operative times for primary cases were similar to published averages. Two patients experienced minor 30-day morbidities, neither of which were attributed to the device and did not require further interventions. There were no 30-day mortalities. Surgeons described subjective overall surgical exposure as adequate and device utilization as technically simple even for the large livers. CONCLUSIONS: Magnetic-assisted retraction is a novel approach that allows a safe, reproducible, incision-less technique for unconstrained, port-less intra-abdominal mobilization. The device successfully permitted optimal liver retraction during laparoscopic bariatric surgery, enhancing surgical exposure while decreasing the number of abdominal incisions.
