Outcomes of Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass As a Primary Versus Revisional Bariatric Surgery.
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) as a primary (CG) versus revisional bariatric surgery (RBS). METHODS: Data of 514 consecutive patients who underwent LRYGB by one surgeon between August 2004 and June 2009 as primary (n=481, 93.6%) or RBS (n=33, 6.4%) were compared. Collected… Continue Reading

However, “bridging” of hernia defects during traditional laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) often leads to seromas, bulging and, importantly, does not restore a functional abdominal wall. We have… Continue Reading
