Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Roux-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) remains one of the three most frequently performed bariatric operations worldwide. Scarce evidence suggests that RYGB, as compared to sleeve gastrectomy, has more durable results in terms of weight loss in the long term.
RYGB is regarded as a procedure of choice for bariatric patients with Barrett’s esophagus, severe gastro-esophageal reflux disease, and hiatal hernia, both in primary and redo scenarios. It is also a common revisional operation for weight regain after sleeve gastrectomy, but also after gastric banding or vertical banded gastroplasty.
RYGB plays an important role as a rescue procedure in case of complications of sleeve gastrectomy (severe stenosis/obstruction or leak/fistula), but also complications of single-anastomosis gastric bypass (leak at gastro-jejunal anastomosis).
The main downsides of RYGB are small bowel obstruction (usually due to internal hernia) and chronic pain (often associated with jejuno-jejunostomy malfunction).
The scope of this Special Issue concentrates on three issues:
- Long-term (10+ years) results of RYGB compared to sleeve gastrectomy.
- Bowel obstruction after RYGB in the long term: how serious is the problem and could it be prevented?
- Chronic pain after RYGB: how to diagnose, prevent, and manage patients?
