Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Versus Sleeve Gastrectomy to Treat Morbid Obesity

NCT00793143 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 240

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Bariatric surgery in the treatment of morbid obesity is associated with long-term weight-loss and decreased overall mortality. Long-term results have been reported for laparoscopic gastric bypass procedures but the long-term results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy are yet unavailable. As sleeve gastrectomy is a rapid and less traumatic procedure with good short-term results of weight loss and resolution of comorbidities, the investigators initiated a prospective randomized two-center study comparing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG)with laparoscopic gastric bypass (LGB) in the treatment of morbid obesity. Study hypothesis: As sleeve gastrectomy is less traumatic, easier and faster to perform compared with gastric bypass,LSG could become the procedure of choice to treat morbid obesity if the long-term results of weight loss and resolution of comorbidities are comparable with laparoscopic gastric bypass.
