Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), originally described by Mason [1] as a loop technique, was later modified by him to a Roux limb, the technique of which was further popularized by Griffin [2]. MacLean [3] and others confirmed that dividing the stomach was superior to simply stapling it, eliminating the potential for staple line breakdown causing loss of restrictive capacity of the operation. Gastric bypass then underwent few major revisions until Wittgrove and Clark [4] first described the operation being performed laparoscopically. That is the approach now used in the vast majority of procedures.
