Long-term outcomes after one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) in morbidly obese patients
Obesity Surgery Dec 05, 2019
Neuberg M, et al. - In this study, researchers retrospectively appraised the longitudinal (≥ 5 years) safety, weight-loss efficacy, comorbid disease improvement, and quality of life of patients following one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). They identified 163 patients (mean age: 41 ± 11.4 years (22–65)) who completed 5 to 8 years of follow-up. Prior bariatric surgery (gastric band) was reported in 94 patients (57.6%). At the time of OAGB, mean BMI was 41.2 ± 6.5 kg/m2 (range 30.1–50.6). Type 2 diabetes mellitus was reported in 21 patients (13.0%), hypertension in 59 patients (36.2%), osteoarthritis in 31 patients (19.0%), and obstructive sleep apnea in 24 patients (14.7%). At a follow-up of ≥ 5 years following OAGB, very good weight loss, comorbidity improvement, and quality of life were noted.
