Obesity Surgery Apr 10, 2019

Wang Y, et al. - For this meta-analysis, MEDLINE and PubMed were searched for studies concerning Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) for super obesity (SO) or super super obesity (SSO) and complication, percentage excess weight loss (%EWL), and resolution of comorbidities were determined. Analyzing 12 identified studies, they identified the superiority of RYGB in %EWL for SSO and SO at 12 months.
