Results of gastrojejunal anastomotic technique designed to reduce stricture

Gastrointestinal symptoms, weight loss and patient satisfaction 5 years after gastric bypass: a study of three techniques for the gastrojejunal anastomosis

“…Together with a previously reported [21] increased incidence of early endoscopic dilatations, these current findings lead us to believe that the anastomosis remains comparatively narrow several years after surgery. The LS technique, which in this study produced the largest Surg Endosc anastomoses, has been shown to be less time-consuming [22] with less need for dilatations [23]. Somewhat surprisingly, in the present study the prevalence of dumping was found to be the lowest in the C25 group.…”

Circular- vs. Linear-Stapled Gastrojejunostomy in Laparoscopic Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass

“…Analyzing early weight loss at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months following LRYGBP, we found an EWL of 33 (Table 3 and Fig. 1).…”

“…Furthermore, the learning curve was included, with the circular-stapled anastomosis performed with less experience compared to the linear-stapled anastomosis. Different to other studies [33], we, therefore, excluded learning curve-related factors like total operation time from this analysis.…”

Linear Stapler Technique May Be Safer than Circular in Gastrojejunal Anastomosis for Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Meta-analysis of Comparative Studies

“…Literature search yielded 49 articles, eight [4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] of which were pertinent to this issue and sources of information on comparison between linear-and circularstapled laparoscopic GJ anastomosis in morbid obesity surgery ( Table 1). The literature search flowchart is shown in Fig.…”
