Laparoscopic Surgical Management of Symptomatic Anastomotic Ulcers after Gastric Bypass: A 10-Year Single-Center Experience

Authors: Keneth Hall, MD, FACS, FASMBS, Raelina S Howell MD, Patrizio Petrone, MD, PhD, MPH, Javier Perez-Calvo, MD, Jon S Woods, MD, Harika Boinpally, MD, Alexander Barkan MD, FACS, FASMBS, Collin EM Brathwaite, MD, FACS, FASMBS

Abstract: Marginal ulceration has a reported incidence up to 34% following Roux-en-y gastric bypass. Bleeding or perforation may be a medical emergency and can be managed via a wide range of techniques. Traditional laparoscopy or robotically assisted laparoscopy offer minimally invasive approaches. We reviewed the experience at a Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) Center of Excellence.

Single Stage Conversion from Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band to Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is Safer than Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Results of a 10-Year Analysis of Complications

Authors: Raelina S. Howell, MD, Meredith Akerman, MS, Patrizio Petrone, MD, MPH, MHSA, FACS, Javier Perez-Calvo, MD, Harika Boinpally, MD, Jon S Woods, MD, Keneth Hall, MD, FACS, FASMBS, Alexander Barkan, MD, FACS, FASMBS and Collin EM Brathwaite, MD, MS, FACS, FASMBS

Abstract: Conversion from laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band (AGB) to Roux-en-y gastric bypass (RNY) or Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) is now common. Complication rates up to 25% have been reported. We reviewed the experience at a Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) Center of Excellence.

Hysterectomy in Uterus Myomatosus - is the Robot the Jack-of-all-Trades? - A 15-Year Retrospective from a Tertiary Referral Center

Authors: Peter Rusch, Rainer Kimmig, Pawel Mach, Sydney S Krolle and Paul Buderath

Abstract: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) becomes the surgical gold standard for benign hysterectomy. Introduction of robotic-assisted surgery is supposed to increase laparoscopic feasibilities. Debate exists about the relevance of open abdominal hysterectomy and of vaginal routes.
