Article Synopsis
  • Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a common bariatric surgery, but about 20% of patients experience weight regain, often due to the enlargement of the anastomosis.

  • Results showed that patients treated with APC had significant improvements in weight loss, satiety, and overall quality of life, indicating that APC is a safe and effective option for managing weight regain after surgery.
