Abstract

et al. Efficacy and safety of one anastomosis gastric bypass versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for obesity (YOMEGA): a multicentre, randomised, open-label, non-inferiority trial. Lancet 2019; 393: 1299-1309. In this study that included 253 procedures, mean excess BMI weight loss was similar after the one anastomosis method (-87⋅9 per cent) compared to standard Roux-en-Y (-85⋅8 per cent). There were higher rates of diarrhoea, steatorrhoea and nutritional complications after the new procedure. Sallinen V, Di Saverio S, Haukijärvi E, Juusela R, Wikström H, Koivukangas V et al.
