Banded Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in patients with super morbid obesity (BRandY-study): protocol of a cohort study with 10 year follow-up.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Weight loss outcomes after bariatric surgery are less favorable in super morbidly obese patients (BMI ?50?kg/m2). Non-response, either defined as insufficient weight loss or weight regain after initial successful weight loss, is a matter of serious concern in these patients. The primary banded Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has shown promising results regarding weight loss in the bariatric population. However, up to now, long-term comparative data about the banded and non-banded bypass in superobese patients is lacking. The aim of this study is to assess the added value of the banded Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in superobese patients on long-term weight loss outcomes. METHODS:This single center study will evaluate superobese patients who receive a non-banded Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (NB-RYGB) and a banded Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (B-RYGB). Data from the NB-RYGB group will be collected in retrospect, while data from the B-RYGB group will be collected prospectively. When performing a B-RYGB, a 7.0-8.0?cm silastic ring (MiniMizer®) will be placed proximal to the gastrojejunostomy. The main outcomes of this study are weight loss and non-response during a 10?year follow-up period. Secondary outcomes are reduction of obesity related comorbidities and medication, (ring-related) morbidity and mortality, complications, re-operations, patient satisfaction and health-related quality of life. A total of 142 patients will be included in this study. DISCUSSION:This study will help establish the clinical utility of the B-RYGB in superobese patients. TRIAL REGISTER:NL8093.
