1 Introduction The management of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has evolved significantly, driven by the increasing prevalence of HPV-related OPSCC, which has a better prognosis than HPV-negative cases [1].

Once ensured the correct positioning and inflation of the esophageal balloon, further reasoning and computations are necessary to use it as a tool to titrate mechanical ventilation settings. The simplest application of esophageal pressure monitoring in passive mechanically ventilated patients is the partitioning of the respiratory system elastance (Ers) in its two components: lung elastance (EL) and chest wall elastance (Ecw) [1, 3, 20].

Our group at University of Genoa School of Medicine has extensive experience with hypoabsorptive bariatric surgery, and our paper highlights the results of biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) at very long term. Two main findings emerged from the study: first, hypoabsorptive bariatric surgery is very effective at maintaining a stable weight loss and excellent control of the metabolic comorbidities decades after the initial operation, but second, this comes at high, and ever increasing, clinical cost.
