Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains highly prevalent in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), with intraoperative opioid use being a key contributing factor. We conducted a prospective, double-blind, randomized trial to compare esketamine-based opioid-sparing anesthesia (OSA) to opioid-based anesthesia in adults undergoing LSG, The primary outcome was the incidence of PONV within 48 h postoperatively. OSA was associated with a significant reduction in the overall incidence of PONV within 48 h, while maintaining comparable analgesic efficacy or postoperative recovery. Additionally, OSA showed clinically significant reductions in both PONV incidence within the first 24 h and severity specifically during the 6-24-h period. Results suggest that OSA is an effective strategy for mitigating PONV following LSG.

Aims: This randomised controlled trial compared the efficacy of modified laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with fundoplication (LSGFD) versus standard laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in achieving weight loss and alleviating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with obesity.
Materials And Methods: Eighty patients with obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥27.5 kg/m with comorbidities or ≥32.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a commonly used tumor marker, primarily for the surveillance of colorectal and other gastrointestinal malignancies. However, its diagnostic specificity is limited, as CEA levels may be elevated in several benign conditions. This case report aims to highlight the potential diagnostic confusion and psychological distress caused by incidental CEA elevation in asymptomatic individuals when tested outside of an appropriate clinical context.

Peroneal neuropathy is a recognized cause for foot drop, typically following trauma, nerve damage, immobilization, or prolonged external pressure. Recently, rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery has been recognised as a potential cause for peroneal neuropathy. This may be due to the loss of protective fat tissue near the peroneal nerve, increasing its susceptibility to compression.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of Classic and Hard laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) techniques, with a focus on long-term weight loss outcomes and complication rates over a 3-year follow-up period.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 785 patients who underwent LSG between January 2019 and December 2022, with follow-up completed by 2023. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to surgical technique: Classic LSG (n=372), involving standard resection along the lesser curvature using a 36-French bougie; and Hard LSG (n=413), characterized by more extensive fundal mobilization and creation of a narrower gastric tube using a 32-French bougie.

Background: The development of cholelithiasis and its subsequent complications are a known risk after vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) due to rapid weight loss. Although controversial, concomitant cholecystectomy (CCY) at the time of bariatric surgery has been proposed, with multiple studies investigating simultaneous CCY with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Despite VSG being the most commonly performed bariatric surgery in the United States (US) and globally, few studies have investigated the simultaneous VSG and CCY.
