Article Abstract
Weight recurrence is a late complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The transoral outlet reduction (TORe) emerged as an endoscopic alternative to revisional surgery for weight recurrence due to a dilated and incompetent gastrojejunal anastomosis. The procedure has been documented as safe and effective in clinical trials and other high-quality medical literature. Several cases of squamous metaplasia of the gastric pouch after repeated TORe procedures using argon plasma coagulation have been reported. We present a case of a late-onset adenocarcinoma of the gastrojejunal anastomosis after a TORe procedure performed using argon plasma coagulation and suturing.

Introduction: Dumping syndrome (DS) and postprandial hypoglycemia (PPH) are challenging complications encountered after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Surgical revision is often the next therapeutic step when pharmacological and dietary treatments fail to control DS and PPH. Endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a less invasive alternative that reduces the diameter of the gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA).

Materials and methods: The tensile strength of different types of anastomoses was compared ex vivo using porcine esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. The test setup included a tensile testing device, which applied a controlled force on the anastomoses until they broke, which was recorded for each type of anastomosis and was expressed in N.

Endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (EDGE) and endoscopic ultrasound-directed transenteric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (EDEE) are innovative endoscopic techniques developed to overcome the challenges of biliary access in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy. EDGE facilitates the creation of a gastro-gastric anastomosis, enabling endoscopic access to the excluded stomach and subsequent duodenum for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures. Similarly, EDEE involves creating a gastro-jejunal anastomosis, allowing endoscopic access to the jejunum and hepaticojejunostomy for ERCP.

Background: Marginal ulcer (MU) remains a serious complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). This can be a life-threatening problem, even years after RYGB. Patients can present with pain or even with hemorrhage or perforation.

Background: Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (L-RYGB), a common procedure for treating obesity, requires a gastrojejunostomy (GJA). The most used techniques for GJA, namely, linear stapling and hand-sewing, have similar outcomes. Since GJA is time-consuming, optimizing GJA would provide a strategic opportunity to reduce surgical times.
