Summary: This prospective randomized non-inferiority study will be conducted to compare the analgesic anti-emetic effects of intravenous ondansetron versus perineural ondansetron in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Summary: The goal of this observational study is to learn if taking extra iron pills after weight loss surgery helps prevent low iron and anemia compared to just taking a standard multivitamin. The main question it aims to answer is: Does a specific iron supplementation plan lower the number of patients who develop iron deficiency anemia in the 6 months after sleeve gastrectomy surgery? Researchers will co...

Summary: Low-dose liposomal iron (17-34 mg elemental/day) was compared with standard conventional oral iron (100-200mg elemental/day) in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia following sleeve gastrectomy. Liposomal iron provided superior hematological improvement and gastrointestinal tolerance.

Summary: This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy, duration of analgesia, and overall opioid consumption between the external oblique intercostal plane (EOIP) block and subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Summary: The objective of this prospective, single arm, single-center study is to evaluate patients who are undergoing primary sleeve gastrectomy procedures and are surgically treated with the AEON Endoscopic Powered Handle Stapler and Stapler Reload. The primary endpoint is to assess the percentage of patients who encountered post-operative staple line complications (bleeding or leak), defined as requirin...

Summary: Although laparoscopic (LAP) bariatric surgery is minimally invasive. Following any laparoscopic procedure, patients typically experience the peak of postoperative pain within the first 24 hours. This intense pain gradually subsides, with significant relief usually occurring by the 2nd or 3rd postoperative day. The initial peak and subsequent decline in pain intensity highlight the importance of ef...

Summary: The aim of this study is to compare the effect of ultrasound-guided retro-SCTL space block and EOI block on opioid consumption within 24 hours after LSG.

Summary: Ultrasound-guided Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Plane Block (M-TAPA) is performed into the costochondral aspect at the 9th-10th costal level by injecting local anesthetics deep into the chondrium. It provides blockage of both the anterior and lateral cutaneous branches of the thoracoabdominal nerve. Studies show that M-TAPA block is effective for postoperative analgesia and other abdominal surge...

Summary: This single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of intraoperative paragastric block (PGBLOCK) on early postoperative visceral pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and analgesic requirements in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Despite advancements in multimodal analgesia protocols, visceral pain remains a s...

Summary: Obesity is a serious health problem worldwide and can lead to many diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and sleep apnea. When lifestyle changes and medications are not enough, metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is currently the most effective and long-lasting treatment option. This study focuses on one of the newer types of bariatric surgery called Single Anastomosis D...

Summary: This will be a prospective, obesity-registry based, single-blind randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Specific inclusion criteria are all patients eligible to undergo a Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) based on the current National Institute of Health (NIH) patient selection guidelines. Patients should be able to give consent, be deemed medically-cleared to undergo electiv...

Summary: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become the most commonly performed weight loss surgery, accounting for 60% of all bariatric operations worldwide. While technically easier with less side-effects and nutritional risks than other operations, SG is also associated with a higher risk of failure (20 to 40%). In such case, the most effective option consists in adding an intestinal bypass called the Biliopanc...
