🚨 | What’s the best path forward after weight regain post-sleeve gastrectomy?

After sleeve gastrectomy (SG), recurrent weight gain (RWG) or suboptimal weight loss (SWL) can occur — but how should it be managed?

This retrospective cohort study compares two rising strategies:
🔁 Conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)
💉 GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy (semaglutide)

🔍 Key findings:
RYGB resulted in more consistent weight loss and better diabetes control
GLP-1s were effective only in a subset of patients, but when successful, showed comparable 2-year weight outcomes to RYGB
RYGB was associated with higher rates of GI interventions

⚖️ Clinical decisions should balance efficacy, invasiveness, and patient response — highlighting the need for individualized care in managing RWG after SG.

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ A must-read for anyone navigating revision strategies in bariatric surgery!

Within the education subgroup of the SSP Taskforce on Sustainability, we’ve created a series of factsheets showcasing sustainability projects already implemented in hospitals across the network. These resources are designed to help members quickly see what has worked elsewhere and explore opportunities to replicate similar initiatives in their own settings. To keep building this collection together, we’ve also added a reply section alongside each factsheet, where members can share their own experiences and initiatives—fostering collaboration and collective learning across our community.

More information can be found on the EAES website: https://eaes.eu/factsheets

🚨 | Can sleeve gastrectomy be safely performed as an outpatient procedure?

Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most performed bariatric surgery in the US, and there's a growing trend toward same-day discharge (SDDSG) to reduce costs and improve hospital efficiency.

This study dives deep into MBSAQIP data to:
✅ Assess the safety of SDDSG vs inpatient SG (SGIS)
✅ Identify predictors of complications in SDDSG patients
✅ Explore the uptake of SDDSG among low-risk candidates

🔍 Key takeaway:
SDDSG is a promising strategy to shorten hospital stay and reduce costs — but it's underutilized even among patients with a low risk of complications.
Surgeons are encouraged to use individualized, patient-centered judgment when considering same-day discharge.

📘 | Elevating Outcomes in Esophageal Cancer Surgery
Published in Surgical Endoscopy:
"Structured surgical training in minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) increases textbook outcome – a risk-adjusted learning curve"

🔍 Why this matters:
Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (MIE) is a technically demanding but essential procedure in modern esophageal cancer treatment. This study analyzes the learning curve and highlights how structured training impacts patient outcomes.

📈 Key Takeaways:
✅ Technical competence is typically reached after ~55 cases
🏆 Achieving a Textbook Outcome (TO) requires ~83 cases
🔐 Structured training enables safe progression without compromising oncological integrity

👨‍⚕️ Bottom line: Training programs should go beyond technical skill—the ultimate benchmark is achieving TO, ensuring optimal recovery and outcomes for patients.
