Abstract
- Purpose: This cohort study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for the management of morbid obesity during the 11-year experience.<br />Materials and Methods: This study was conducted between July 2006 and August 2019. Annually we recorded data about the weight, body mass index (BMI), percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), percentage of weight loss (%WL), weight regain, and postoperative complications into a prospectively collected database.<br />Results: A total of 1146 patients (LRYGB=396 and LSG=750) aged >18 years old were included in the study. Over the first 7 years after surgery, the weight loss rate was significantly higher in the LRYGB-treated group than the LSG-treated group, and weight regain was significantly lower in the LRYGB-treated group in comparison with the LSG-treated group. Our results revealed that statistically, but not clinically, the efficacy of LRYGB and LSG is equivalent in terms of %WL, %EWL, and weight regain within 8 years and more. Besides, there were no significant differences in surgery-related mortality and severe complications between the two procedures.<br />Conclusion: Our study's results indicated that the clinical efficacy of LRYGB in the management of obesity is better than LSG during the 11-year experience. But the differences in weight loss and weight regain were not statistically relevant at 8 years and more after the surgery. Also, a comparison of severe complications did not indicate significant differences between the two groups.
