Asymptomatic Cholelithiasis and Bariatric Surgery: a Comprehensive Long-Term Analysis of the Risks of Biliary Disease in Patients Undergoing Primary Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Purpose: Currently, there is little consensus on management of the in situ gallbladder of patients undergoing gastric bypass. Our aim was to evaluate outcomes of selective concomitant cholecystectomy (CCY) and long-term biliary outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing laparoscopic RYGB (LRYGB) between 2008 and 2018.

Comparison of short-term outcomes following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in male and female patients using the MBSAQIP database.

Background: Male sex has long been identified as a risk factor for adverse outcomes, including mortality, after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare short-term outcomes of patients undergoing laparoscopic RYGB based on biologic sex.

Setting: Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, PA.

Bariatric surgery is safe and effective in Medicare patients regardless of age: an analysis of primary gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy outcomes.

Background: Numerous studies have shown that bariatric surgery in older patients is safe and effective. However, both the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and a Medicare Evidence Advisory Committee (MEDCAC) have cited gaps in the evidence for outcomes in Medicare patients undergoing bariatric surgery. These gaps are predominantly in the safety and outcomes evidence in Medicare patients younger than 65 years old (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services [CMS] < 65).
