Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the technical variations of one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) among IFSO-APC and MENAC experts.
Background: The multitude of technical variations and patient selection challenges among metabolic and bariatric surgeons worldwide necessitates a heightened awareness of these issues. Understanding different perspectives and viewpoints can empower surgeons performing OAGB to adapt their techniques, leading to improved outcomes and reduced complications.
Purpose: One anastomosis/mini gastric bypass (OAGB/MGB) is up to date the third most performed obesity and metabolic procedure worldwide, which recently has been endorsed by ASMBS. The main criticisms are the risk of bile reflux, esophageal cancer, and malnutrition. Although IFSO has recognized this procedure, guidance is needed regarding selection criteria.

Lack of a published consensus amongst experts may be hindering progress and affecting outcomes. This paper reports results from the first modified Delphi consensus building exercise on this procedure.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: There is currently little evidence available on the perioperative practices concerning one anastomosis/mini gastric bypass (OAGB/MGB) and no published consensus amongst experts. Even the published papers are not clear on these aspects. The purpose of this study was to understand various perioperative practices concerning OAGB/MGB.

- A study surveyed 417 bariatric surgeons worldwide, revealing significant skepticism about the One Anastomosis/Mini Gastric Bypass (OAGB/MGB) due to concerns over cancer risks, complication rates, and effectiveness.
- Over half of respondents worried about increased risks of gastric and esophageal cancers, and many believed the surgery had higher early and late complication and mortality rates compared to the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
- A large portion of surgeons noted that OAGB/MGB isn't officially recognized as a mainstream procedure in their countries, with many indicating they might adopt it if it received proper approval.
