Introduction: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has been proposed as a rescue technique for laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) poor responders. Aim: We sought to analyze, complications, mortality, and medium-term weight loss results after LAGB conversion to OAGB. Methods: Data analysis of an international multicenter database. Results: One hundred eighty-nine LAGB-to-OAGB operations were retrosp...
Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is often the preferred conversion procedure for laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) poor responders. However, there is controversy whether it is better to convert in one or two stages. This study aims to compare the outcomes of one and two-stage conversions of LAGB to RYGB. Methods: Retrospective review of a multicenter prospectively collected database. Dat...
