Comparative effectiveness of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy in super obese patients

Abstract: There are significant differences in comorbidity improvement and resolution as well as weight loss between RYGB and SG in the SO population. There was no difference in overall 30-day complications, but more RYGB patients required readmission and reoperation. However, RYGB was considerably more effective in controlling obesity-related comorbidities. Our results favor performance of RYGB in SO patients of appropriate risk.

“…27 Likewise, 65% of patients with hypertension experienced a normalization ( 135/85 mm Hg) of their BP after surgery. The efficacy of SG as a therapeutic tool for diabetes mellitus in patients with obesity is still debated in the literature due to its assumed inferiority compared with other procedures 28 ; however, our experience supports the fact that even this intervention is particularly effective on the above-mentioned obesity-related comorbidity.…”

“…Both procedures can result in up to a 30% loss in body weight 2,3 . Compared to VSG, RYGB leads to greater body weight loss [4][5][6][7] . Proposed mechanisms for the effectiveness of bariatric surgeries include: changes in levels of gut hormones (e.g.…”

“…[8] The robotic surgery has evolved as the newer paradigm in minimal access surgery[4] and it envisages the advantage of having a three-dimensional vision with articulating instruments. The surgeon sits on the console in the most comfortable way without stress on his shoulders and torque on arms even on most super obese patients.…”
