Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) are commonly performed, but few studies have shown superiority of one strategy over the other.
Objective: Simultaneously compare LSG and LRYGB in terms of weight loss and morbimortality over a 36-month follow-up period.
Setting: University hospital and bariatric surgery centers, France.
Background: The feasibility, safety, and efficacy of programs for enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery (ERABS) are now well established. However, data concerning their large-scale implementation remain insufficient.
Objectives: The objective of the present study was to review the multicenter implementation of ERABS SETTING: This retrospective analysis of a prospective database was conducted in 15 Groupe francophone de Rehabilitation Améliorée après ChirurgiE centers from data from March 2014 to January 2017.
Background: Many studies have analyzed the impact of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on weight loss and/or the evolution of obesity-related comorbid conditions, but few have reported the long-term outcomes after surgery. The objective of this study was to investigate the outcomes after SG on weight loss, obesity-related comorbid conditions, quality of life (QoL), and GERD symptoms (GERDS) beyond 5 years.
Methods: A prospective database was retrospectively searched for the following factors: gender, age, anthropometrics, presence of comorbid conditions, QoL (BAROS questionnaire), and presence of GERDS.
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is a common procedure for morbid obesity. After RYGBP, the bypassed stomach is unavailable for follow-up. Biermer anemia is an autoimmune atrophic gastritis inducing vitamin B12 deficiency and it is a risk factor for gastric carcinoma.
