Laparoscopic Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass Versus Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding in the Super-Obese: Peri-Operative and Early Outcomes
Conclusion:
There seems to be no significant differences in early complications between laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding operations in the short term. Weight loss and excess weight loss percent at 6 and 12 months are significantly better after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
