Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass versus laparoscopic vertical banded gastroplasty: results of a 2-year follow-up study

Abstract

With zero mortality and low morbidity, bariatric surgery performed for adequately selected patients is the most effective therapeutic intervention for weight loss and subsequent amelioration or resolution of comorbidities. The patient's eating habits before surgery play an important role in the choice of the operative technique used.

SAGES guideline for clinical application of laparoscopic bariatric surgery

“…Revisional bariatric operations may be performed laparoscopically [248][249][250] or via open technique [251,252]. Complications are more common after reoperations than after primary bariatric procedures [253].…”

Reversible Gastric Restriction Implant: Safety and Efficacy in a Canine Model

“…It is possible that consuming a large amount of food in a relatively short time may induce the enlargement of gastric tube. In restrictive procedures, patients are strongly encouraged to follow dietary guidelines to reduce the incidence of vomiting [25,26]. In animals, the post implant feeding pattern is probably an important factor that influences vomiting, esophageal reflux, or tube dilation.…”

Calidad de vida en pacientes operadas de bypass gástrico hace más de un año: Influencia del nivel socioeconómico

“…En cuanto a variables psicosociales, los estudios informan resultados a corto plazo, destacando mejorías significativas en la calidad de vida (CV) principalmente en factores tales como mayor movilidad y mejoría de las comorbilidades médicas [1][2][3] . Algunos estudios agrupan a pacientes con tiempos postoperatorios de tan amplio rango, que dificulta la comparación entre ellos [4][5][6] .…”
