Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is as safe as laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Results of a comparative cohort study.


ABSTRACT:

Background

A meta-analysis and six randomized controlled trials show higher 30-day complication rates with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) than with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).

Aim

To identify any difference in 30-day outcomes of patients treated with LRYGB or LSG when a standardized technique and identical post-operative protocol was followed with all procedures being conducted either by or under the supervision of a single consultant surgeon who had significant experience in bariatric surgery prior to commencing independent practice.

Methods

A prospectively collected database of all patients under primary LRYGB or LSG, between March 2010 and February 2017, was analyzed. Data on demographics, length-of-stay (LOS), conversion to open, 30-day complications and mortality were reviewed.

Results

Over a seven-year period, 485 patients (LRYGB-279 and LSG-206) were included. There were no significant demographic differences and no difference in the pre-operative risk scoring [American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and obesity surgery mortality risk score (OSMRS)] between the groups. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of LOS (p = 0.275), complications (p = 0.920), re-admissions (p = 0.593) or re-operations (p = 0.366) within 30-days. There were no conversions to open or in-patient mortality in either group.

Conclusions

Unlike previous studies, we found no difference in early complication rates between LRYGB and LSG in a comparable cohort when performed by a surgeon with sufficient experience in bariatric surgery.
