LRYGB: Outcomes

  • Chapter

Abstract

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide. This chapter discusses the outcomes from RYGB for weight loss and co-morbidity resolution and compares them to those from other procedures. The early and late morbidity and mortality associated with RYGB is compared to other procedures and the argument is made as to why many believe RYGB to be the “gold standard” bariatric procedure.
