Loop Duodenojejunal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy: Comparative Study with Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in Type 2 Diabetic Patients with a BMI <35 kg/m(2), First Year Results.

Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has shown good diabetes remission in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but long-term complications were observed. We developed loop duodenojejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (LDJB-SG) to achieve diabetes remission and avoid the drawbacks of RYGB. We compare 1-year results between LDJB-SG and RYGB with body mass index (BMI) <35 kg/m(2) of T2DM patients.

Worthy or not? Six-year experience of revisional bariatric surgery from an Asian center of excellence.

Background: Revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) is increasing. The various primary operations with their distinctive complications make this group of patients quite heterogeneous, and treatment has to be individualized. There are concerns regarding the safety profile and efficacy of these procedures.

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banded Plication (Lagbp): Standardization of Surgical Technique and Analysis of Surgical Outcomes.

Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banded plication (LAGBP) is a novel bariatric procedure which is restrictive and reversible. The aim of this study were to compare two LAGBP techniques and analyze its postoperative outcomes, in order to standardize the procedure.

Methods: Eighty patients who underwent LAGBP were enrolled in this study.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for nonobese type II diabetes mellitus in Asian patients.

Background: The beneficial role of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM) in morbidly obese patients has been established; however, there is scant evidence supporting its effectiveness in nonobese T2 DM Asian patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of LRYGB in nonobese T2 DM patients and elucidate the predictors of DM remission after one year follow-up.

Methods: Between June 2009 and May 2011, twenty-nine nonobese (body mass index (BMI)<27 kg/m(2)) Asian patients with T2 DM who underwent LRYGB were enrolled.
