Different Risks and Benefits Leading to Similar Costs After Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Abstract

A strong evidence base supports the long-term clinical efficacy and safety of modern bariatric procedures, particularly for the 2 most common bariatric operations worldwide: sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). 1 However, data from randomized trials and observational studies 1 indicate that there are important trade-offs to consider between these 2 approaches.
