We strive to publish useful and relevant information for bariatric practices and improvements in patient care. I would like to reaffirm my commitment to shortening the time from submission to publication. The only way to improve on this is to rely on the dedicated peer reviewers who spend countless hours evaluating and scoring our submissions. I want to send my deepest gratitude to all who have helped in the past and who will be called on in the future to help with peer reviews.As past chair of the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Emerging Technology and Flexible Endoscopy committees, I would like our clinicians and researchers to submit more articles on these topics and I feel this may be the future of bariatric surgery. With the rise of artificial intelligence in surgery and the increasing usage of weight loss medications, the field of “bariatrics” is constantly evolving and change is certain in the near future.In this issue, we have a wide variety of articles from around the world. Our lead study is from Turkey titled “Effects of Exercise Training in Subjects with Morbidly Obesity Awaiting Bariatric Surgery: Review.” Bariatric Surgical Practice and Patient Care continues to hold a strong international presence as we have publications from eight different countries represented in this issue.In closing, I hope you consider publishing your next study in Bariatric Surgical Practice and Patient Care. The journal is always open to innovative ways of improving the reader's experience. Please feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions that could improve our journal.Sincerely,FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 18Issue 3Sep 2023 InformationCopyright 2023, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishersTo cite this article:Dean J.

Multimodal analgesia is one of the pillars of ERAS, of which spinal analgesia (SA) is a part. The interest of SA in bariatric surgery is poorly described, yet it can be performed easily even in obese patients, reducing postoperative pain, opioid consumption, and hospitalization time. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective and comparative study; the objective was to study the feasibility and interest of SA combining 100 μg of morphine and 150 μg of clonidine in bariatric surgery during the first postoperative day. Results: Thirty-six patients were included: 29 patients (81%) benefited from SA (group SA) and 7 benefited from standard analgesia (group S). SA was linked to a decrease in postoperative morphine consumption (odds ratio −2.551, 95% confidence interval [−5.212 to −0.570], p = 0.016). The rate of acute high blood pressure was significantly higher in group S (p = 0.05). There was no difference between the two groups in the occurrence of side effects. Conclusions: SA with morphine and clonidine improves postoperative analgesia. We recommend 0.1 mg as the standard dose. The use of clonidine could make it possible to limit the dose of morphine injected and reduce the postoperative hypertensive risk. french registration: ANSM—RCB ID: 2018-A01310-55.","PeriodicalId":48848,"journal":{"name":"Bariatric Surgical Practice and Patient Care","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136116689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
