RESUMO
Obesity is a risk factor for kidney, liver, heart, and pulmonary diseases, as well as failure. Solid organ transplantation remains the definitive treatment for the end-stage presentation of these diseases. Among many criteria for organ transplant, efficient management of obesity is required for patients to acquire transplant eligibility. End-stage organ failure and obesity are 2 complex pathologies that are often entwined. Metabolic and bariatric surgery before, during, or after organ transplant has been studied to determine the long-term effect of bariatric surgery on transplant outcomes. In this review, a multidisciplinary group of surgeons from the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons and the American Society for Transplant Surgery presents the current published literature on metabolic and bariatric surgery as a therapeutic option for patients with obesity awaiting solid organ transplantation. This manuscript details the most recent recommendations, pharmacologic considerations, and psychological considerations for this specific cohort of patients. Since level one evidence is not available on many of the topics covered by this review, expert opinion was implemented in several instances. Additional high-quality research in this area will allow for better recommendations and, therefore, treatment strategies for these complex patients.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Balloons are used in EUS to improve visualization. However, data on the safety of latex balloons in patients with latex allergies are limited, and nonlatex alternatives can be costly. We investigated the safety of latex balloon use during EUS. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted at a tertiary center between 2019 and 2022. Patients with reported latex allergies who underwent linear EUS were included. Baseline demographics, EUS characteristics, and adverse events were collected. The primary outcome was the rate of adverse events. RESULTS: Eighty-seven procedures were performed on 57 unique patients (mean age, 65.3 ± 14.5 years). Latex balloons were used in 59 procedures (67.8%), with only 8 procedures (13.6%) using prophylactic medications. No adverse events occurred during or after procedures, regardless of medication use or history of anaphylaxis. CONCLUSIONS: The use of EUS latex balloons in patients with a latex allergy was associated with no adverse events.

BACKGROUND: Adjustable gastric bands (AGB) are frequently converted to sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) due to weight recurrence or band complications. Such conversions carry a higher-risk than primary procedures. Some patients undergo two conversions-from AGB to SG, and subsequently from SG to RYGB. This presents a unique situation with limited literature on indications and complication rates associated with these double conversions. METHODS: We examined the 2020-2021 Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) Participant Use File to evaluate conversions from AGB to SG and then to RYGB. Patient and operative characteristics, along with outcomes, were evaluated. Descriptive statistics were applied. RESULTS: We identified 276 patients who underwent a conversion from AGB to SG and then to RYGB. The primary reason for the second conversion (SG to RYGB) was gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) at 55.1%, followed by inadequate weight loss or weight regain (IWL/WR) at 36.9%. The remaining reasons included dysphagia, nausea, vomiting, or others. Patients converted for IWL/WR demonstrated a higher baseline body mass index and prevalence of sleep apnea compared to other cohorts (both p < 0.001). Meanwhile, patients in the "other reasons" group had the highest rate of open surgical approaches (9.1%) and concurrent lysis of adhesions (p = 0.001 and p = 0.022), with correspondingly higher rates of anastomotic leak, reoperations, serious complications, and mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Patients undergoing double conversions (AGB to SG to RYGB) do so primarily for GERD or IWL/WR. Further research is required to better define the optimal primary operation for each patient, aiming to reduce the necessity for multiple conversions.

BACKGROUND: Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) results in detrimental vascular complications including both microvascular and macrovascular diseases. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are effective weight-loss therapies that enhance T2DM remission. However, limited data are present regarding the association between diabetes-associated diseases before RYGB and SG with T2DM remission. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study in patients with T2DM who underwent RYGB or SG. We collected data on preoperative microvascular (i.e., retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) and macrovascular (coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular accidents, and peripheral artery disease) diabetes-associated diseases. Our end points included assessment of association and cumulative effect of diabetes-associated diseases and disease remission. We also performed a multivariate logistic regression to evaluate the parameters associated with T2DM remission. RESULTS: A total of 536 patients (67% female, 94% White) were included in this study. Patients without diabetes-associated diseases had an OR of 2.72 (95% CI 1.92 to 3.88) to achieve T2DM remission compared to patients with diabetes-associated diseases (27.9% vs 59.4%; p < 0.001). Importantly, there was an additive effect of the number of diabetes-associated diseases on the T2DM remission (p < 0.001). We demonstrate a significant association between HbA1c (p < 0.001), number of diabetes medications (p < 0.001), T2DM duration (p < 0.001), surgery type (p = 0.009), and insulin use (p = 0.04) with T2DM remission. CONCLUSION: Patients with presurgical diabetes-associated diseases had a lower remission rate after RYGB and SG. Not only do these complications represent a more practical and consistent variable to predict T2DM remission, but also help planning a multidisciplinary management of patients with more severe T2DM.

BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery is one of the clinical pathways of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Masters Program, and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is one of the three anchoring bariatric procedures. To improve surgeon lifelong learning, the Masters Program seeks to identify sentinel articles of each of the 3 bariatric anchoring procedures. In this article, we present the top 10 articles on LAGB. METHODS: A systematic literature search of papers on LAGB was completed, and publications with the most citations and citation index were selected and shared with SAGES Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Committee members for review. The individual committee members then ranked these papers, and the top 10 papers were chosen based on the composite ranking. RESULTS: The top 10 sentinel publications on LAGB contributed substantially to the body of literature related to the procedure, whether for surgical technique, novel information, or outcome analysis. A summary of each paper including expert appraisal and commentary is presented here. CONCLUSION: These seminal articles have had significant contribution to our understanding and appreciation of the LAGB procedure. Bariatric surgeons should use this resource to enhance their continual education and acquisition of specialized skills.

BACKGROUND: Obesity and its related medical conditions are well-established contributors to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), including procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), is a potential intervention for these individuals. However, the heightened risk of postoperative complications casts doubts on the suitability of MBS in this population. Our aim is to evaluate the long-term safety, anthropometric and renal outcomes of MBS in patients with CKD. METHODS: A retrospective review of patients who underwent primary laparoscopic MBS with a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 and a preoperative diagnosis of stage 2 to 5 CKD. Criteria for CKD diagnosis and staging were based on estimated glomerular filtration rate measurements in accordance with established guidelines. Anthropometric and renal outcomes were measured at 3-, 6-, 12-, 24- and 60-months postoperatively. RESULTS: A total of 302 patients (177 SG, 125 RYGB) were included. RYGB was preferred for patients with stage 3 CKD, while SG was more common in stages 4 and 5. At 5-year follow-up, percentage of total weight loss was higher in the RYGB cohort compared to SG (25.1% vs. 18.6%, p = 0.036). Despite SG patients having more advanced CKD, the incidence of late complications was significantly higher following RYGB, with 11 incidents (8.8%), compared to the SG cohort with only 4 cases (2.3%) (p = 0.014). In those with preoperative CKD stage 3, 76 patients (43.2%) improved to stage 2, with another 9 patients (5.1%) improving further to stage 1. Of all patients, 63 (20.8%) eventually received a successful renal transplant. CONCLUSIONS: MBS is an effective strategy for sustained weight loss in patients with CKD with acceptable complications rates. RYGB leads to a higher percentage of overall weight loss, albeit with an elevated likelihood of late surgical complications. Future studies are needed to determine the safety of MBS in this demographic.

BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has consistently demonstrated excellent weight loss and comorbidity resolution. However, outcomes vary based on patient's BMI. Single anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy with sleeve (SADI-S) is a novel procedure with promising short-term results. The long-term outcomes of SADI-S in patients with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 are not well described. We aim to compare the safety and efficacy of SADI-S with RYGB in this patient population. METHODS: We performed a multicenter retrospective study of patients with a BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 who underwent RYGB or SADI-S between 2008 and 2023. Patient demographics, peri- and post-operative characteristics were collected. Complication rates were reported at 6, 12, 24, and 60 months postoperatively. A multivariate linear regression was used to evaluate and compare weight loss outcomes between both procedures. RESULTS: A total of 968 patients (343 RYGB and 625 SADI-S; 68.3% female, age 42.9 ± 12.1 years; BMI 57.3 ± 6.7 kg/m2) with a mean follow-up of 3.6 ± 3.6 years were included. Patients who underwent RYGB were older, more likely to be female, and have a higher rate of sleep apnea (p < 0.001), hypertension (p = 0.015), dyslipidemia (p < 0.001), and type 2 diabetes (p = 0.016) at baseline. The rate of bariatric surgery-specific complications was lower after SADI-S compared to RYGB. We reported no bariatric surgery related deaths after 1 year following both procedures. SADI-S demonstrated statistically higher and sustained weight loss at each time interval compared to RYGB (p < 0.001) even after controlling for multiple confounders. Lastly, the rate of surgical non-responders was lower in the SADI-S cohort. CONCLUSIONS: In our cohort, SADI-S was associated with higher and sustained weight-loss results compared to RYGB. Comorbidity resolution was also higher after SADI-S. Both procedures demonstrate a similar safety profile. Further studies are required to validate the long-term safety of SADI-S compared to other bariatric procedures.

BACKGROUND: The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Masters Program includes eight distinct clinical pathways. The Bariatric Surgery Pathway focuses on three anchoring procedures, including the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) which is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure in the United States. In this article, we present and discuss the top 10 seminal articles regarding the LSG. METHODS: The literature was systematically searched to identify the most cited papers on LSG. The SAGES Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery committee reviewed the most cited article list, and using expert consensus elected the seminal articles deemed most pertinent to LSG. These articles were reviewed in detail by committee members and are presented here. RESULTS: The top 10 most cited sentinel papers on LSG focus on operative safety, outcomes, surgical technique, and physiologic changes after the procedure. A summary of each paper is presented, including expert appraisal and commentary. CONCLUSIONS: The seminal articles presented support the widespread acceptance and use of the LSG by bolstering the understanding of its mechanism of action and by demonstrating its safety and excellent patient outcomes. All bariatric surgeons should be familiar with these 10 landmark articles.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Masters Program designated bariatric surgery as a clinical pathway. Among the tiers of the Masters Program, revisional bariatric surgery is the highest tier of "mastery" within the pathway. This article presents the top 10 seminal studies representing the current landscape of revisional bariatrics. METHODS: The literature was systematically searched and seminal articles designated by consensus agreement of the SAGES Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery committee using multiple criteria, including impact on the field, citation frequency, and expert opinion. Articles were reviewed by committee members and presented in summarized fashion. RESULTS: The top 10 papers are presented in grouped thematic categories covering the early evolution of revisional bariatrics, changing criteria for reoperative bariatric surgery, divergence of revision versus conversion bariatric surgery, and recent technologic innovations in revisional bariatric surgery. Each summary is presented with expert appraisal and commentary. CONCLUSION: These seminal papers represent a snapshot of the dynamic field of revisional bariatric surgery and emphasize the need to not only remain current with contemporary trends but also keep a patient-oriented perspective on patient and intervention selection for optimal success.

PURPOSE: Hypoalbuminemia and anemia are commonly observed indications for one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) reversal and remain significant concerns following the procedure. Sufficient common channel limb length (CCLL) is crucial to minimize nutritional complications. However, limited literature exists regarding the impact of CCLL on OAGB outcomes. This study aimed to assess the effect of CCLL on weight loss and nutritional status in patients who underwent OAGB. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted from August 2021 to July 2022, involving 64 patients with a body mass index of 40-50 kg/m2. The standardized length of the biliopancreatic limb (BPLL) for all patients in this study was set at 175 cm. Additionally, the measurement of the common channel limb length (CCLL) was performed consistently by the same surgeon for all included patients. RESULTS: The mean age and BMI of the patients were 39.91 ± 10.03 years and 43.13 ± 2.43 kg/m2, respectively, at the time of surgery. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between CCLL and percent total weight loss (%TWL) at the 12-month mark after OAGB (P = 0.02). Hypoalbuminemia was observed in one patient (1.6%), while anemia was present in 17 patients (26.6%) at the one-year follow-up. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in the incidence of anemia and hypoalbuminemia between patients with CCLL < 4 m and those with CCLL ≥ 4 m. CONCLUSION: A CCLL of 4 m does not appear to completely prevent nutritional complications following OAGB. However, maintaining a CCLL of at least 4 m may be associated with a reduced risk of postoperative nutritional deficiencies.

BACKGROUND: Obesity is intricately associated with type-2 diabetes (T2D) and other cardiovascular conditions, increasing morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Metabolic and bariatric surgeries (MBS) have shown promising results in significant weight loss and T2D remission, but existing predictive scores for post-MBS diabetes remission do not consider insulin dosage, potentially overlooking a critical factor. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of patients with T2D who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG). The study focused on insulin dosage impact, divided into quartiles, on remission rates post-MBS. The effectiveness of RYGB vs SG was compared within insulin dose quartiles with up to 5 years of follow up. RESULTS: A total of 508 patients (64% female, 94.9% White, mean age 53.5 ± 10.5 years, BMI (46.0 ± 8.3 kg/m2) were included in the analysis. This study demonstrates a profound association between insulin dosage quartiles and T2D remission after MBS. Patients with lower insulin requirements showed superior remission rates; those in the lowest quartile had remission rates of 73%, 70%, and 62% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively, compared to 34%, 37%, and 36% in the highest quartile (P < 0.001 across all intervals). RYGB surgery showed a significantly better remission in the second and third insulin quartiles, suggesting its effectiveness over SG for patients with mid-range insulin requirements. CONCLUSION: This study underscores the importance of considering insulin dosage when predicting T2D remission post-MBS. The findings advocate for a more nuanced selection of MBS procedures based on individual insulin profiles, potentially enhancing diabetes remission outcomes.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Multiple scores validate long-term type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). However, studies comparing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) have not adequately controlled for certain parameters, which may influence procedure selection. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter retrospective review of patients with T2DM who underwent RYGB or SG between 2008 and 2017. Data on demographics, clinical, laboratory, and metabolic values were collected annually for up to 14 years. Each eligible RYGB patient was individually matched to an eligible SG patient based on diabetes severity, weight loss, and follow-up duration. RESULTS: Among 1149 T2DM patients, 467 were eligible for matching. We found 97 matched pairs who underwent RYGB or SG. RYGB showed significantly higher T2DM remission rates (46.4%) compared to SG (33.0%) after matching. SG patients had higher insulin usage (35.1%) than RYGB patients (20.6%). RYGB patients also experienced greater decreases in HbA1c levels and diabetes medication usage than SG patients. CONCLUSIONS: RYGB demonstrates higher efficacy for T2DM remission compared to SG, regardless of baseline characteristics, T2DM severity, weight loss, and follow-up duration. Further studies are needed to understand the long-term metabolic effects of MBS and the underlying pathophysiology of T2DM remission after MBS.

INTRODUCTION: The use of bioabsorbable mesh at the hiatus is controversial. Long-term data are scant. We evaluated the world literature and performed a meta-analysis to determine if these meshes were effective in reducing recurrence. METHODS: A literature search was performed using PubMed, MEDLINE, and ClinicalKey. We evaluated articles reporting on both Bio-A™ (polyglycolic acid:trimethylene carbonate-PGA:TMC) and Phasix™ (poly-4-hydroxybutyrate-P4HB) used at the hiatus. The DerSimonian-Laird random effects model was used to estimate the overall pooled treatment effect along with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Similar analysis was conducted to compare the clinical outcomes, i.e., recurrence rate, mean surgical time, mean hospital stays and mean follow-up duration between non-Mesh and Mesh group. The I2 statistic was computed to assess the heterogeneity in effect sizes across the studies. RESULTS: A total of 21 studies (12 mesh studies with 963 subjects and 9 non-mesh studies with 617 subjects) were included to conduct the meta-analysis. There was one article reporting outcomes on P4HB mesh (73 subjects) and 11 on PGA:TMC mesh (890 subjects). The bioabsorbable mesh group had a significantly lower recurrence rate compared to the non-mesh group (8% vs. 18%; 95%CI 0.08-0.17), pooled p-value < 0.0001. Surgery time was shorter in the mesh group compared to the non-mesh group (136.4 min vs. 150 min) but not statistically significant (p = 0.54). There tended to be a more extended follow-up period after surgery in the non-mesh group compared to the mesh group (27 vs. 25.8 months, range 10.8-54 months); but not statistically significant (ES: 27.4; 95%CI 21.6-33.3; p = 0.92). CONCLUSIONS: Hiatal hernia repair with bioabsorbable mesh is more effective at reducing hernia recurrence rate in the mid-term than simple suture cruroplasty. Further studies investigating the long-term outcomes and P4HB mesh are needed.

BACKGROUND: The results of concurrent cholecystectomy with Roux-en Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy have been well elucidated. Large-scale data on the outcomes of concomitant cholecystectomy during biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) are still lacking. Our study aimed to explore whether simultaneous cholecystectomy with BPD-DS alters the 30-day postoperative outcomes. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the MBSAQIP database between 2015 and 2019. Propensity-score matching (PSM) in BPD-DS with cholecystectomy (Group 1) and BPD-DS without cholecystectomy (Group 2) cohorts was performed (PSM ratio 1:2). The two groups were matched for a total of 21 baseline variables including age, gender, BMI, ASA class, and other medical comorbidities and conditions. The 30-day postoperative morbidity, mortality, reoperation, reintervention, and readmissions were obtained. RESULTS: Initially, 568 patients in Group 1 and 5079 in Group 2 were identified. After performing PSM, 564 and 1128 patients respectively were compared. The BPD-DS with cholecystectomy group reported a higher rate of reoperation and reintervention compared to BPD-DS alone (3.9% versus 2.4% and 3.2% versus 2%, respectively), even though it did not reach statistical significance. The intervention time was significantly higher in Group 1 compared to Group 2 (192.4 ± 77.6 versus 126.4 ± 61.4 min). Clavien-Dindo complications (1-5) were similar between these two PSM cohorts. CONCLUSION: Concomitant cholecystectomy during BPD-DS increases operative times but does not affect the other outcomes. Based on our results, the decision of cholecystectomy at the time of BPD-DS should be left to the surgeon's judgment.

BACKGROUND: The implications of operative time (OT) have been studied in different surgical specialties, showing a correlation with higher incidence rates of postoperative complications. However, the impact of OT on bariatric surgery complications is not well elucidated. METHODS: A retrospective review of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program database between 2015 and 2019 was performed. A total of 358,382 SG patients and 123,357 RYGB patients were included. The median OT was 68 min (10-720) and 113 min (10-640) for the sleeve gastrectomy (SG) group and the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass group, respectively. The groups were subdivided into two subgroups based on OT in comparison to the median time of each group. The subgroups were compared for surgical complications and outcomes. To reduce selection bias and risk of confounders, we performed a propensity score matching (PSM) for 22 variables. RESULTS: In the PSM-matched cohort, 18,915 SG and 6,495 RYGB patients were included in each subgroup. The SG cohort showed higher rates of Clavien-Dindo Class 1, 2, 3a, 4, and 5 complications as well as higher rates of readmission, reoperation, and reintervention in the longer OT group before matching. After PSM, the subgroup with longer times continued to have higher rates of Clavien-Dindo Class 2 complications and higher rates of readmission and reoperation. Similarly, there were higher rates of all Clavien-Dindo class complications as well as readmission, reoperation, and reintervention in the RYGB group with higher OT. After PSM, there were still higher rates of Clavien-Dindo Class 3a complications as well as readmission and reintervention in the RYGB subgroup with prolonged OT. CONCLUSION: In both SG and RYGB, longer OT was associated with increased rates of complications as well as readmission, reoperation, and reintervention. Surgeons should be cognizant of the increased rates of complications when operative times are longer.

Obesity is a risk factor for abdominal wall hernia development and hernia recurrence. The management of these two pathologies is complex and often entwined. Bariatric and ventral hernia surgery require careful consideration of physiologic and technical components for optimal outcomes. In this review, a multidisciplinary group of Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons' bariatric and hernia surgeons present the various weight loss modalities available for the pre-operative optimization of patients with severe obesity and concurrent hernias. The group also details the technical aspects of managing abdominal wall defects during weight loss procedures and suggests the optimal timing of definitive hernia repair after bariatric surgery. Since level one evidence is not available on some of the topics covered by this review, expert opinion was implemented in some instances. Additional high-quality research in this area will allow for better recommendations and therefore treatment strategies for these complex patients.

BACKGROUND: Roux-En-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) have shown to be two of the most effective interventions to enhance weight loss and associated type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission. However, a significant number of patients, particularly with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2, do not achieve T2DM remission after bariatric surgeries. The individualized metabolic surgery (IMS) and Robert et al. scores are two scores that characterize T2DM severity and predict disease remission after bariatric surgeries. We aim to assess the validity of these scores in predicting T2DM remission in our cohort of patients with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 with long-term follow-up. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study of all patients with T2DM, have a BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2, and underwent RYGB or SG in two different US bariatric surgery centers of excellence. The study endpoints included validating the IMS and Robert et al. scores in our cohort and evaluating the presence of any significant differences between RYGB and SG in terms of T2DM remission predicted by each of these scores. Data are presented as mean (standard deviation). RESULTS: A total of 160 patients (66.3% females, mean age 51.0 [11.8] years) had IMS score and 238 patients (66.4% females, age 50.8 [11.4] years) had Robert et al. score data. Both scores predicted T2DM remission in our patients with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 with ROC AUC 0.79 for the IMS score and 0.83 for Robert et al. score. Patients with lower IMS scores and higher Robert et al. scores had higher T2DM remission rates. RYGB and SG had similar T2DM remission rates over the long-term follow-up. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate the ability of the IMS and Robert et al. scores to predict T2DM remission in patients with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2. T2DM remission was shown to decrease with more severe IMS scores and lower Robert et al. scores.

BACKGROUND: The timing of bleeding after bariatric surgery and subsequent management (characterized as surgical versus non-surgical (i.e., interventions including endoscopic or interventional radiology approaches)) has not been thoroughly studied. As such, we sought to describe the rates of reoperation or non-operative intervention after bleeding following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). METHODS: The Metabolic and Bariatric Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) database was queried between 2015 and 2018 for any bleeding after SG or RYGB and subsequent reoperation or non-operative intervention. Multivariable Fine-Gray models were used to compare the hazard of reoperation/non-operative intervention. Multivariable generalized linear regression models were used to test the number of subsequent reoperations/non-operative interventions depending on initial management. RESULTS: 6251 patients with bleeding after SG or RYGB were identified, of which 2653 patients underwent subsequent procedures (n = 1375 [51.83%] RYGB index procedure, n = 1278 [48.17%] SG index procedure). 1892 (71.32%) and 761 (28.68%) patients had reoperation and non-operative intervention, respectively. For patients who developed bleeding, SG was associated with significantly higher reoperation risk, while RYGB was associated with significantly higher risk of non-operative intervention. Early bleeding was associated with significantly increased risk of reoperation and decreased risk of non-operative intervention, regardless of initial procedure. The total number of subsequent reoperations/non-operative interventions did not differ significantly depending on whether the patients had non-operative intervention or reoperation first [ratio 1.01, 95% CI (0.75, 1.36), p value 0.9418]. CONCLUSION: Patients after SG who experience bleeding are more likely to undergo reoperation than RYGB patients. On the other hand, patients with bleeding after RYGB are more likely to undergo non-operative intervention compared to SG patients. Early bleeding is associated with higher risk of reoperation and lower risk of non-operative intervention both after SG and RYGB. The initial approach did not play a role in the total number of subsequent reoperations/non-operative interventions.

BACKGROUND: Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) are an alternative therapeutic option for benign gastrointestinal (GI) tract strictures. Our study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LAMS for the management of benign GI strictures. METHODS: Consecutive patients who underwent a LAMS placement for benign luminal GI strictures at a tertiary care center between January 2014 and July 2021 were reviewed. Primary outcomes included technical success, early clinical success, and adverse events (AEs). Other outcomes included rates of stent migration and re-intervention after LAMS removal. RESULTS: One hundred and nine patients who underwent 128 LAMS placements (67.9% female, mean age of 54.3 ± 14.2 years) were included, and 70.6% of the patients had failed prior endoscopic treatments. The majority of strictures (83.5%) were anastomotic, and the most common stricture site was the gastrojejunal anastomosis (65.9%). Technical success was achieved in 100% of procedures, while early clinical success was achieved in 98.4%. The overall stent-related AE rate was 25%. The migration rate was 27.3% (35/128). Of these, five stents were successfully repositioned endoscopically. The median stent dwell time was 119 days [interquartile range (IQR) 68-189 days], and the median follow-up duration was 668.5 days [IQR: 285.5-1441.5 days]. The re-intervention rate after LAMS removal was 58.3%. CONCLUSIONS: LAMS is an effective therapeutic option for benign GI strictures, offering high technical and early clinical success. However, the re-intervention rate after LAMS removal was high. In select cases, using LAMS placement as destination therapy with close surveillance is a reasonable option.
