Comparing long-term outcomes between laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) are the two most bariatric procedures in Asia. However, a comparison of long-term outcomes is still limited.

Objectives: To compare the degree of long-term weight loss, remission of comorbidities and complication rates after LRYGB and LSG procedures.

Comparison of enoxaparin 40 mg versus 60 mg dosage for venous thromboprophylaxis in patients undergoing bariatric surgery: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality after bariatric surgery. Morbid obesity is an independent risk factor for VTE, with goals of prophylactic anti-factor Xa levels within 0.2-0.
