Technological advancements and improved techniques have enhanced the safety of these procedures. The surgical procedures of Jehovah's Witnesses, who refuse blood transfusions as part of their beliefs, pose unique challenges and have rarely been addressed in the context of bariatric surgery. This report aimed to investigate the safety of bariatric surgery in patients who refuse blood transfusion, with an established protocol to minimize the risk of bleeding. We examined the prospectively collected data of Jehovah's Witness patients who underwent bariatric surgery from 2019 to 2023. The surgeries were conducted following a protocol that included specific measures to prevent bleeding. Data were reviewed for demographics, anthropometrics, comorbidities, preoperative medications, operative time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, hemoglobin level, drainage volume, tranexamic acid use, and postoperative 30-day complications. Eleven Jehovah's Witness patients underwent bariatric surgery, including 10 LSG and 1 LRYGB. A patient with iron deficiency anemia underwent intravenous iron treatment before the surgery. There were no intraoperative complications or major postoperative complications. All patients maintained stable hemodynamics postoperatively. Only one patient encountered nausea-vomiting, classified as a minor complication. One patient experienced a small amount of hemorrhagic drainage, which transitioned to serous after tranexamic acid infusion. Bariatric surgery can be performed safely with established protocols in patients who refuse blood transfusions.</p>","PeriodicalId":23391,"journal":{"name":"Updates in Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"2489-2494"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11541380/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141306850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preliminary data of patients undergoing fluorescence-guided laparoscopic lymph node biopsy (FGLLB) using ICG was retrospectively analysed from the multicentre registry FLABILY study. Between June 2022 and February 2024, 50 patients underwent FGLLB. The surgical biopsy aimed to re-stage lymphoproliferative disease for 25 patients and to establish a diagnosis in 25 patients. The median duration of the procedure was 65 ± 26.5 min. All the procedures were performed laparoscopically. One surgical conversion occurred due to bleeding. Median length of hospitalization was 1 ± 1.7 days. Two unrelated complications occurred in the immediate postoperative course. ICG was administrated preoperatively by means of an inguinal, perilesional, or intravenous injection according to the anatomical sites of the biopsy.

A significant difference was highlighted in the appearance of fluorescence in sub-mesocolic lymph nodes compared to supra-mesocolic and mesenteric lymph nodes (41/49 (83.6%) vs. 13/22 (59%), p = 0,012). In 98% of cases, FGLLB provided the information necessary for the correct diagnosis. Fluorescence with ICG offers a simple and safe method for detecting pathological lymph nodes.
