While endoscopic bariatric procedures, particularly intragastric balloons, have shown significant benefits beyond weight loss, further research is necessary to understand these effects and their applicability to other procedures. This study was done in association with Bond University.

📚 Exciting news! Our latest research article, titled "Does one-anastomosis gastric bypass provide better outcomes than sleeve gastrectomy in patients with BMI greater than 50? A systematic review and meta-analysis", has just been published in the International Journal of Surgery (IF=13.4)! In this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing OAGB and SG in super-obese patients. We found that OAGB achieved a higher percentage of total weight loss at both short-term and mid-term follow-ups. However, there were no major differences in perioperative outcomes, complications, or diabetes remission between the two procedures. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my supervisors, Dr. Ali Aminian, Majid Valizadeh, and Maryam Barzin, MD, Ph.D for their unwavering support and guidance throughout this research journey. A big thank you to my colleagues for their valuable input and collaboration.
