Early post-operative complications: incidence, management, and impact on length of hospital stay. A retrospective comparison between laparoscopic gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.

Methods: Data for patients who underwent LRYGB and LSG in our clinic from 2009 through August 2012 were collected.
