Linear compared to circular stapler anastomosis in laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass leads to comparable weight loss with fewer complications: a matched pair study
2016
Objective
In the course of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), a tight gastroenterostomy (GE) may lead to higher weight loss but possibly to an increase of local complications such as strictures and ulcers. Different operative techniques for Roux-en-Y reconstruction may also influence the rate of internal hernias, a typical late complication of LRYGB. The objective of this study was to compare weight loss, rates of strictures, internal hernias, and ulcerations of linear versus circular stapler anastomosis.
