How do outcomes differ in giant versus smaller ventral hernia repair

This new propensity matched study from a tertiary hernia centre shows that, although giant ventral hernia repairs with very large defects have higher rates of wound complications, respiratory problems, reoperation and longer length of stay, recurrence rates remain low and comparable to repairs of smaller defects when fascial closure and generous preperitoneal mesh overlap are achieved.

How do we define true mastery in foregut surgery

A new paper from the SAGES Masters Programme highlights Heller myotomy as a core mastery level operation for the treatment of achalasia, by presenting the top ten seminal articles on this procedure.

These key papers cover diagnosis, therapeutic options, outcomes, adverse effects and their management, with expert summaries and commentary from the SAGES Foregut Committee. Together, they underline Heller myotomy as an effective option for achalasia that relieves dysphagia with a lower risk of post operative gastro oesophageal reflux.

How effective are GLP 1 receptor agonists for long term medical weight loss

This new meta analysis of fifty four studies and almost sixty thousand patients shows that GLP 1 medicines can lead to meaningful and sustained weight loss, with important metabolic benefits when treatment is maintained.

Key findings
• Patients on GLP 1 therapy lost on average 10.6 per cent of total body weight compared with 3.9 per cent with placebo, with weight loss peaking around 12 to 18 months
• Among patients who stayed on treatment, weight loss reached around 12 per cent of total body weight
• Stopping treatment led to weight regain within weeks at about 0.55 per cent of original body weight per month
• GLP 1 therapy reduced the incidence of type 2 diabetes by about seven times compared with placebo and doubled the rate of hypertension resolution

The authors conclude that GLP 1 medicines are effective for weight reduction and can support remission of diabetes and hypertension, but that adherence and continuation are crucial for sustained benefit.
