The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with fascial support (RYGBPF) has proved to be effective as a primary as well as a revision/conversion operation in the management of morbid obesity. Since May 1984, 361 primary and 100 revision RYGBPF operations have been reported with low morbidity and mortality although morbidity and mortality were higher in the revision than in the primary group. The most common late complications of gastric-reduction operations resulting in weight regain were staple line disruption and pouch or stoma enlargement. With the use of the RYGBPF as a primary as well as a revision operation, weight loss results at 5 y have been good and our revision operation rate has dropped to < 1%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
