Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass: Development of Technique, Respiratory Function, and Long-Term Outcome

Abstract: LRYGBP is an effective treatment for morbid obesity. During the initial development, we experienced a number of serious complications. The complication rate decreased over time. Postoperative lung function was markedly impaired, but there were no beneficial effects of chest physiotherapy. Long-term weight loss after LRYGBP seems to be comparable to what has been reported after open RYGBP.

“…No entanto, este foi equivalente aos dias de internação hospitalar, período no qual a fisioterapia respiratória é rotineiramente aplicada na prática clínica. Outros autores, com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos da fisioterapia respiratória em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica por videolaparoscopia, também adotaram um período de intervenção de 2 a 3 dias 3,29 .…”

“…The operative RYGB technique, as described in detail elsewhere, 26 included an antecolicantegastric Roux-en-Y construction with a 10 to 20 ml gastric pouch and a 100 -150 cm Roux limb and no aim at restricting the gastro-jejunal anastomosis.…”

“…Methodological constraints which prevented documentation of the full cohort of subjects are also a weak point in this model. Still it was rather striking to register that neither esophagogastric nor hepatobiliary abnormalities were appreciably corrected by operation, differently from what is known for diabetes, arterial hypertension and other comorbidities of advanced obesity (3,6,7,19,21,28) . Although publications regarding digestive derangements are indeed scarce, there are reasons to believe that they belong to a different category concerning comorbidities, one of the few that are not defi nitely improved by weight loss and normalization of body composition.…”

“…It is possible, for didactic reasons, to divide as early and late the complications of anti-obesity procedures. The former should mention intra-operative accidents and mortality, and peri-operative morbidity (19,32) and mortality (9,33) . The latter would focus inappropriate long-term weight loss, malnutrition (8) and many other derangements, including psychiatric illness on a few susceptible subjects -mainly those with prior psychiatric history (7,24) .…”
