TLDR
LSG was associated with shorter operation time and a trend toward fewer complications than with LRYGB, and both procedures were almost equally efficient regarding weight loss, improvement of comorbidities, and quality of life 1 year after surgery.
Abstract
Objective: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been proposed as an effective alternative to the current standard procedure, laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Prospective data comparing both procedures are rare. Therefore, we performed a randomized clinical trial assessing the effectiveness and safety of these 2 operative techniques.
