Twenty-first century weight loss: banding versus bypass

Abstract: Background The two most commonly performed procedures for bariatric surgery include Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and adjustable gastric banding (AGB). While many studies have commented on short-term, postoperative outcomes of these procedures, few have reported long-term data. The purpose of this study was to compare long-term, postoperative outcomes between RYGB and AGB. Methods This was a retrospective, cohort comparing all patients undergoing RYGB or AGB at our institution, from 01/1998 to 08/2012. Pat… Show more

“…Compared with RYGB, LAGB has a higher risk of slip/dilation and surgical reversal/conversion, but a lower risk of stricture, ulceration, and hernia compared with RYGB ( 39 ). LAGB has a shorter duration of stay compared to RYGB; SG has a higher risk of reoperation compared to RYGB ( 40 ). Compared with RYGB, SG and LAGB are associated with a higher failure rate or secondary surgery, which may be the main reason for the current high clinical use of RYGB.…”
