A research article from the AUSL of Romagna discusses new endoscopic devices and techniques for the management of post-sleeve gastrectomy fistula and gastric band migration. The article highlights the importance of endoscopy as a main treatment option for post-sleeve gastrectomy fistulas, with options including stent or clip placement, endoscopic vacuum therapy, VacStent therapy, endoscopic internal drainage with pigtail stents, endoscopic suturing, and stem cell injection. The article also addresses the rare complication of intragastric gastric band migration and the potential use of endoscopic retrieval as a non-invasive therapeutic solution. The research concludes by reviewing the current literature on these topics. [Extracted from the article]

A 66-year-old man developed gastritis and colitis while being treated with nivolumab for stage-III melanoma. Initially, he experienced mild nausea and discomfort, but after completing 8 cycles of treatment, he developed worsening abdominal pain, watery diarrhea, and vomiting. Further tests revealed a new mass in his abdomen and a fistula connecting his stomach and colon. The man underwent surgery to repair the fistula and experienced complete resolution of his symptoms. It was determined that the gastritis, colitis, and fistula were all complications of the nivolumab treatment. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at the Central Hospital of Shaoyang has shed light on the presence of Raoultella ornithinolytica as a new type of pathogen. The study presented a case of an elderly woman who developed a gastric fistula and abdominal abscess after undergoing choledocholithotomy, with R. ornithinolytica being isolated from the abdominal drainage fluid. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotics. This case highlights the rare occurrence of R. ornithinolytica causing non-viscerally abdominal abscess and emphasizes the need for caution when considering invasive treatments that may increase the risk of infection with this pathogenic bacterium.

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) has revealed new findings on gastric fistula, a complication that can occur after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal surgery). The study discusses two case reports of delayed perihepatic abscesses resulting in fistulous tracts following the surgery. The researchers emphasize the importance of avoiding gallbladder perforation and taking measures to retrieve stones if spillage occurs. The study concludes that enteric fistula formation after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a rare complication that can present months to years after the initial surgery. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from the University of Paris discusses the rare occurrence of gastrocolic fistulas in children and their association with Helicobacter pylori. The report presents the case of a 10-year-old boy who was diagnosed with H. pylori-associated gastritis and gastrocolic fistula. The boy underwent resection surgery and antibiotic therapy, resulting in a successful recovery. This is the first documented case of a gastrocolic fistula in pediatrics related to H. pylori. The research has been peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights into this rare complication. [Extracted from the article]

Although the available literature describes treatment of gastric fistula post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, no one approach has been proven to be superior. The authors present two cases of two patients who experienced fistula secondary to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in which conservative treatment failed. Both patients were treated with jejunal interposition, which is conversion to a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with an interposed jejunal loop. Both patients had good results, tolerating oral feeding with no evidence of the fistula using contrast media in the postoperative period. They concluded that in cases where conservative treatment fails, conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with an interposed jejunal loop, may be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article describes the case of an 88-year-old woman who developed an aortoduodenal fistula after treatment with bevacizumab for macular degeneration.

The article lists history, diagnostic procedures and treatment options for gastro-gastric fistula that occurs after roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

The article discusses various reports published within the issue including one on a case regarding proximal gastrogastric fistula, one on the results of bariatric surgery to patients with binge eating disorders, and another on the link between genetics and obesity.

The article describes the case of a 4-year-old boy, who was undergoing repair of a gastro-cutaneous fistula, who developed third-degree heart block during anaesthesia with sevoflurane. The patient underwent uneventful inhalation induction with 8% sevoflurane in 70% nitrous oxide and 30% oxygen. Time to reaction onset and patient outcome are clearly stated.
