Does the length of the biliopancreatic and alimentary limb in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass affect the percentage of weight loss in obese patients?
Absolute Event Rate: 34% vs 33%
Different lengths of the biliopancreatic and alimentary limbs in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass do not significantly affect the percentage of total weight loss at one year.
Valezi et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Obesity (n=120). Different lengths of biliopancreatic and alimentary limbs vs. Alternative limb lengths was evaluated on Percentage of total weight loss one year after surgery. Different lengths of the biliopancreatic and alimentary limbs during Roux-en-Y gastric bypass did not significantly affect the percentage of total weight loss at one year (33% vs 34%).
