The use of unidirectional barbed sutures for running enterotomy closure after linear stapled RYGB is feasible and safe. Significant time benefit was seen regarding the closure of the GJA. Fewer additional stitches were necessary and postoperative intraluminal bleeding was less encountered.
Conversion of open VBG to RYGB is feasible and safe and can be performed with an acceptable complication rate. It gives excellent weight loss results and relief of outlet obstruction.
Postoperative continuation of antidepressant therapy is associated with short-term reduced weight loss following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery: a retrospective cohort study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
