Abstract
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) results in sustained long-term weight loss and reduced mortality. Several techniques have been described to perform this procedure. In this chapter, the technical steps and tips of performing a supracolic retrocolic hand-sewn LRYGB (LRYGB-HS) approach are described.
