Moreover, given that any unplanned readmission is a major event in the life of an elderly patient, counteraction to its consequences (immobilization syndrome, malnutrition, cognitive disorders, loss of autonomy…) must be considered by the entire surgical team, in coordination with geriatric specialists, as the priority.

Tumor regression on MRI was defined using mrTumor Regression Grade (mrTRG) classification. Histological tumor regression grade (pTRG) was defined according to the Mandard classification.

The purpose of this update is to outline the main reasons for short, medium, and long-term emergency department visits and re-hospitalizations in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. In the short term, patients may experience non-specific (pulmonary embolism, rhabdomyolysis) and specific (hemorrhage, fistula) complications. Their management is based on a multidisciplinary medical, nutritional, and interventional strategy, with an increasingly important role for surgical endoscopy.
