Abstract Journal for Bariatric Surgery

INTRODUCTION: Bariatric surgery, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass (LRYGB), are increasingly being performed to manage the burden of chronic and metabolic disease in obese individuals. We conduct a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the surgical complications of LSG and LRYGB procedures and their impact on readmission rate, reoperation rate and 30 day mortality rate.
