Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Metabolic bariatric surgery is currently considered the best treatment for morbid obesity. Sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass are the most common interventions, but new procedures have spread worldwide. Marginal ulcers (MU) are a well-known complication following new and old metabolic interventions. Even if most of these ulcers respond to medical treatment, recurrent or chronic MU may require revisional intervention. The etiology is multifactorial, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, smoking, and Helicobacter pylori infection have been advocated as risk factors for MU. However, mechanisms beyond the formation of recalcitrant ulcers have not yet been clarified, nor has the best treatment.

The aim of this Special Issue is to report the rate of MU after new bariatric procedures such as one anastomosis gastric bypass, single anastomosis sleeve-ileal bypass, or single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass and to further investigate the relationship between known risk factors and marginal ulcer (MU) formation, especially after revisional procedures.

Background: Marginal ulcer (MU) perforation is a chronic complication after One-anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB). This study’s purpose was to analyze patients undergoing OAGB revision due to MU perforation and describe the two-year outcomes. Methods: A retrospective analysis of a database in a single-tertiary hospital. All patients undergoing surgical revision due to MU perforation were included. Results: During the study period, 22 patients underwent OAGB revision due to MU perforation. The rate of MU perforation was 0.98%. The median age was 48 years and there were 13 men (59%). The median time from OAGB to MU perforation was 19 months with a median total weight loss of 31.5%. Nine patients (41%) were smokers. Omental patch (±primary closure) was performed in 19 patients (86%) and three patients (14%) underwent conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). At a median follow-up of 48 months, three patients (14%) had recurrent MU diagnosis, of which one had a recurrent MU perforation. Four patients (18%) underwent conversion to RYGB during follow-up. Conclusions: MU perforation is a chronic complication after OAGB. In this cohort, most patients were men and likely to be smokers. Omental patch was effective in most cases. Recurrent MU rates at two years follow-up were acceptable. Full article
