ABSTRACT Background: Intestinal malrotation is a rare congenital anomaly. In adults is very difficult to recognize due to the lack of symptoms. Diagnosis is usually incidental during surgical procedures or at autopsy. Aim: To review the occurrence and recognition of uneventful intestinal malrotation discovered during regular cases of bariatric surgeries. Methods: Were retrospectively reviewed the medical registry of 20,000 cases undergoing bariatric surgery, from January 2002 to January 2016, looking for the occurrence of intestinal malrotation and consequences in the intraoperative technique and immediate evolution of the patients. Results: Five cases (0,025%) of intestinal malrotation were found. All of them were males, aging 45, 49, 37,52 and 39 years; BMI 35, 42, 49, 47 and 52 kg/m2, all of them with a past medical history of morbid obesity. The patient with BMI 35 kg/m2 suffered from type 2 diabetes also. All procedures were completed by laparoscopic approach, with no conversions. In one patient was not possible to move the jejunum to the upper abdomen in order to establish the gastrojejunostomy and a sleeve gastrectomy was performed. In another patient was not possible to fully recognize the anatomy due to bowel adhesions and a single anastomosis gastric bypass was preferred. No leaks or bleeding were identified. There were no perioperative complications. All patients were discharged 72 h after the procedure and no immediate 30-day complications were reported. Conclusion: Patients with malrotation can successfully undergo laparoscopic bariatric surgery. May be necessary changes in the surgical original strategy regarding the malrotation. Surgeons must check full abdominal anatomical condition prior to start the division of the stomach.

Abstarct Background bariatric surgery was originally designed to induce weight-reduction in morbidly obese patients. Benefits of bariatric surgery, however, extend well beyond weight loss and include dramatic improvement of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and reduction of overall mortality. Aim of the Work to evaluate the metabolic and weight loss effect of single anastomosis gastric bypass surgery in Class-1 obese diabetic patients type-2 in the first year postoperative follow up. Patients and Methods this study included 40 mild-obese patients (Class-I) with T2DM with one or both of the following (hypertension and hyperlipidemia) treated by laparoscopic Mini-Gastric Bypass. Results the mean BMI loss after one year from MGB surgery was (6.8 ± 1.1 kg/m2). Complete resolution of diabetes occurred was in 82.5% at 12 months and cases with no remission in DM was 0%. Regarding the Hypertension, resolution of Hypertension was 63.6%. improvement was 23% and no change in Hypertension status was 13.6%. Regarding Hyperlipidemia; resolution of Hyperlipidemia was 62.5%, improvement was 21% and no change in Hypertension status was 16.5%. Conclusion bariatric surgeries (MGB) is not only a weight-reducing surgery but a metabolic surgery which can cure most of the metabolic syndrome and it is considered the most effective long term treatment modality for type 2 diabetes in mild-obese patients, our study suggests that MGB is highly effective in controlling diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: 70 éves férfi beteg kóros kövérség (BMI: 50,1) miatt 2005-ben gyomorgyűrű beültetésben részesült. 2020 decemberében hasfali phlegmone hátterében igazolt port infekció miatt más intézetben subcutan incisió, lavage történt. CT-vizsgálattal, majd gasztroszkóppal a gyomorgyűrű arrosióját, intramurális elhelyezkedését igazoltuk. A műtét során laparoszkópos technikával a gyomor corpus nagygörbületén ejtett, kb. 2 cm nagyságú nyíláson keresztül távolítottuk el a gyűrűt. A beteg szövődménymentesen került emisszióra. Megbeszélés: Mintegy 20 évvel ezelőtt a laparoszkópos állítható gyomorgyűrű (LAGB) rendkívül népszerű volt. A LAGB azonban számtalan rövid és hosszú távú szövődménnyel jár, ezért egyre inkább kikerül a bariátriai sebészet tárházából. A gyűrű arrosiója ritka, súlyos szövődmény. Eltávolításának többféle módja lehet. A gyomorgyűrű eltávolítása általában a testsúly jelentős növekedésével jár. A betegeknél konverziós bariátriai műtétet, laparoszkópos gyomor sleeve reszekciót, vagy gyomor bypass műtétet lehet végezni. Summary. Introduction: Extreme obese (BMI: 50.1) 70 year old male patient after LAGB procedure in 2005, with abdominal wall and port infection underwent subcutaneous incision drainage of the area in December 2020. CT and Gastroscopy confirmed gastric penetration and intramural position of the Band. Using laparoscopic approach with incision of 2 cm of the stomach at the gastric greater curvature the band had been removed. Patient had been discharged without any complications. Discussion: LAGB was a very popular bariatric approach at the first decade of laparoscopic bariatric surgery. The increased incidence of short and long term complications reduced worldwide the number of LAGB procedures. Band penetration is a rare but dangerous complication. Laparoscopic removal is recommended. Usually, the intervention is followed by significant weight gain which can be treated with conversion of LAGB to Sleeve Gastrectomy or LGBP procedure.

Hundreds of thousands of bariatric surgeries are performed worldwide every year. Th ey have long been proven to be safe and eff ective in treating obesity and type 2 diabetes. Along with an unconditional positive eff ect, these interventions, especially shunting ones, are characterized by specifi c complications. In the absence of proper correction, they can become fatal for patients. One of these complications is malabsorption leading to a defi ciency of vitamins and microelements, which in most cases, is amenable to timely correction in the postoperative period. However, there are situations when it is not possible to carry out an eff ective correction and it becomes necessary to perform reconstructive interventions with the reverse inclusion of the small intestine in the digestion, which is associated with great diffi culties. Th e authors demonstrated this situation in the description of clinical observation of a patient with postoperative hypothyroidism and history of postoperative hypoparathyroidism, who underwent bariatric surgery. Impaired absorption of drugs (L-thyroxine, calcium, and vitamin D), and therefore, uncompensated hypothyroidism and hypocalcemia was an indication for reconstructive surgery.
