Core Tip
Core tip: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) are the most popular bariatric procedures. Few studies have compared the outcomes of LSG vs LRYGB in terms of weight loss and comorbidity resolution, especially in India. Using case control design in a well-matched population of 40 patients each undergoing LSG and LRYGB, we found similar weight loss one year after surgery in both the groups but the weight loss was significantly higher in LRYGB group two years after surgery. The complication rate was similar in both groups. Regarding comorbidity resolution, both LRYGB and LSG had significant but similar impact on obesity related comorbidities except gastroesophageal reflux disease where LRYGB showed better improvement. This is also among the first few studies to study the impact of bariatric surgery on hypothyroidism.
