[Long-term results after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for severe obesity].

Unlabelled: Long-term results after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for severe obesity Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been performed for almost 50 years, yet long-term results have only been scarcely reported. In this paper, we report results up to 15 years after gastric bypass and review the relevant literature on long-term results after this operation.

Material And Methods: Our prospective database has been reviewed for this study.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for failed gastric banding: outcomes in 642 patients.

Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a well-tolerated procedure but has high long-term complication and failure rates. Laparoscopic conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is one of the rescue strategies.

Objectives: To analyze short- and long-term results of reoperative LRYGB after failed LAGB.

Complications After Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in 1573 Consecutive Patients: Are There Predictors?

Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP), one of the commonest performed bariatric procedures, remains a technically challenging operation associated with significant morbidity in high-risk patients. This study was conducted in order to identify predictors of complications after laparoscopic RYGBP.

Methods: Our prospectively established database has been assessed to review 30-day and in-hospital complications graded according to a validated scoring system (Clavien-Dindo) and separated into minor (Clavien-Dindo I-IIIa) and major (Clavien-Dindo IIIb-IV) complications.

Laparoscopic gastric banding outcomes do not depend on device or technique. long-term results of a prospective randomized study comparing the Lapband® and the SAGB®.

Background: Gastric banding still represents one of the most widely used bariatric procedures. It provides acceptable weight loss in many patients, but has frequent long-term complications. Because different types of bands may lead to different results, we designed a randomized study to compare the Lapband® with the SAGB®.
