    Metabolic Bariatric Surgery (MBS) is increasingly gaining ground, given that it constitutes the most effective treatment of obesity and associated health problems, with enduring results and a well-documented safety profile. Nevertheless, certain issues may rise in the medium and long term. Among them, there is a heterogeneous group of complications under the umbrella term “post-bariatric hernia”, including internal hernias, abdominal wall hernias, and hiatal hernias. Internal hernias constitute the most studied category, but evidence on the other categories is not lacking. This chapter will attempt to cover diagnostic, treatment, and preventive aspects in the management of hernia post-MBS following a comprehensive, evidence-based approach. In brief, with regards to the prevention of internal hernias, suturing of all defects is strongly recommended for Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), but the evidence is less clear when it comes to newer bypass procedures, such as One-Anastomosis/Mini G

    Aortic valve disease remains the second most common valvular heart disease worldwide. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with mechanical or bioprosthetic valves and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with bioprosthetic valves are both approved therapies for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) across all surgical risk categories. On the other hand, SAVR remains the mainstay…

    Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as an invaluable tool for bridging severe isolated or combined failure of lung and heart. Due to massive technical improvements, the application of ECMO is growing fast. While historically ECMO was initiated and maintained by cardiac surgeons, in recent times interventional cardiologists and intensive care specialists increasingly run ECMO…

    Bile duct carcinoma or well known as cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common of primary liver malignancy after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although cholangiocarcinoma is a rare cancer, it has an aggressive feature with very poor prognosis. The epidemiological profile of cholangiocarcinoma varies widely across the world, which is reflecting the exposure of different risk factors,…
