Abstract
Complete 10 year follow-up data were available only for 65% of the 300 adults randomised either to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for the treatment of obesity. Even so, it’s fairly clear that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is the better option for sustained weight reduction and for causing fewer adverse effects. Gastroesophageal reflux was less common after gastric bypass than after sleeve gastrectomy ( JAMA Surg doi:10.1001/jamasurg.2024.7052). Guidelines recommend clinical surveillance rather than early surgery for patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis and a normal left ventricular ejection …
