Meeting Abstract
Abstract
Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and gastric banding (GB) are the two most popular bariatric procedures. Only few studies have compared their results and follow-up duration is usually limited to <3 years.
Patients and Methods: Using our prospective bariatric database, we matched non-superobese GB to RYGBP patients for sex, age and BMI to RYGBP. Follow-up considered up to five years.
Results: 442 patients were matched in 221 pairs. Mean age (38,6) and mean BMI (43) were identical. Overall operative morbidity was higher after RYGBP (17,2 versus 5,4 %, p<0,001), but major morbidity was similar (3,6 versus 2,2 %, p=0,57). More patients developed long-term complications after GB (43,9 % versus 19 %, p<0,001), and more required reoperations (24,4 % versus 12 %, p=0,001). After RYGBP, reoperations were mainly due to internal hernias (87 %), with no reversal, whereas 18,5 % of the GB patients required band removal. Even including only patients who retained their band, weight loss after RYGBP was better throughout the study period, with 5-year EBMIL of 77,6 % and 61,7 % (p<0,001) after RYGBP and GB respectively. RYGBP was associated with better food tolerance and greater improvement of the lipid profile.
Conclusions: GB is associated with a smaller overall operative morbidity and similar major morbidity, but with more long-term complications, more reoperations, a significant number of reversal or conversion procedures, and reduced weight loss when compared with RYGBP. Five-year results of RYGBP are superior to GB and patients should be informed accordingly.
