Outcomes of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding

Abstract

RYGB produces substantially greater weight loss than LAGB. Whilst peri-operative complications are greater after RYGB, long-term complication rate is higher following LAGB.

Effectiveness of bariatric procedures based on selected laboratory parameters of patients from rural areas in Polish population

“…[24][25][26][27] The present study obtained similar results. The largest BMI reduction at the 6-month follow up was observed for SG (12.29%), and the smallest BMI reduction was observed for LAGB (9.02%).…”

“…Several studies have assessed the use of RYGB and compared its outcomes with those of other bariatric procedures. [24][25][26][27] RYGB was shown to very effectively reduce body weight; however, a higher incidence of complications associated with anastomotic leakage, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, as well as frequent wound infections and postoperative hernia was observed. In the present study, the patients were qualified for the procedures on the basis of the current guidelines and a number of tests developed by a specialist panel, as well as consultations and each patient's personal commitment.…”

The patients who qualified for SG had a mean preopera- [24][25][26][27][28] Earlier studies have shown a marked improvement and normalization of parameters assessing diabetes control following bariatric treatment. 29,30 The present study assessed only SG and RYGB in this respect, because LAGB was used in only 1 patient with type 2 diabetes.…”

Re-sleeve Gastrectomy for Failure of Weight Loss After Primary Sleeve Gastrectomy; 3 Cases

“…Over the years, many bariatric surgeons have regarded it as a standard bariatric operation. Despite many advantages following LSG, as with all other bariatric procedures, failure of weight loss was observed [3][4][5][6]. There is no consensus regarding conversion procedures for additional weight loss after primary sleeve gastrectomy (PSG).…”

Upregulation of intestinal glucose transporters after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass to prevent carbohydrate malabsorption

“…Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), arguably, is the most effective current surgical treatment for morbid obesity and results in a small gastric pouch (20 ml) and a "short circuit" for nutrient delivery from the stomach to the mid-jejunum through a Roux-en-Y limb (1,2). While the mechanisms underlying the effects of RYGB on body weight are incompletely understood, the anatomical alterations are thought to reduce oral intake via the restrictive gastric pouch, nutrient malabsorption and neurohormonal changes arising from the intestinal "short circuit" that favor weight loss, and improved glycemic control (3)(4)(5).…”
