Perioperative outcomes of same-day discharge laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass using the MBSAQIP database.

There has been a rising trend of outpatient bariatric surgery, particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and outcomes of same-day discharge laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) using the MBSAQIP database. In this retrospective study, the MBSAQIP was queried for patients undergoing non-revisional LRYGB between 2020 and 2021. Two cohorts were established: same-day discharge (SDD; length of stay = 0 days) and next-day discharge (POD1; length of stay = 1 day), with the latter serving as a control group. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were employed to compare outcomes between cohorts. A total of 48,408 patients underwent LRYGB, with 1,918 (4.0%) SDD and 46,490 (96.0%) POD1. The two cohorts were similar in mean age (SDD 44.2 ± 11.3 years vs POD1 44.0 ± 11.3 years; p = 0.61) and female sex (SDD 83.8% vs POD1 83.1%; p = 0.43). However, the POD1 cohort had a higher preoperative body mass index (45.4 ± 7.3 vs 44.9 ± 7.3 kg/m2; p < 0.01). Preoperative anticoagulation and obstructive sleep apnea were more prevalent in the POD1 group. There was no difference in overall 30-day overall complication rates (SDD 2.0% vs POD1 2.3%; p = 0.51), reintervention, reoperations, mortality, and emergency department visits between the two cohorts. Readmissions were lower in the SDD cohort (2.9% vs 4.0%; p = 0.02), whereas the need for outpatient intravenous hydration was higher in the SDD cohort (6.7% vs 3.6%; p < 0.01). This finding remained significant even after adjustment for confounders. Same-day LRYGB is safe and feasible, with comparable complication rates to next-day discharge. Notably, SDD is associated with lower readmission rate and higher need for outpatient intravenous hydration, possibly reflecting rigorous bariatric protocols and thorough patient follow-up. Further investigations are warranted to elucidate the selection criteria and optimize postoperative care for outpatient LRYGB.

Safety of gastric bypass with same-day discharge: a propensity score-matched analysis of the Dutch Audit for treatment of Obesity.

Bariatric surgery with same-day discharge (SDD) is becoming increasingly common. Nevertheless, there is limited data available comparing gastric bypass patients with SDD to those with overnight hospitalization. The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term outcomes of gastric bypass with SDD compared to overnight hospitalization in The Netherlands. Retrospective database study with the use of the Dutch national registry. Patients who underwent gastric bypass surgery in 2022 were included and propensity score matching was performed to compare SDD with patients discharged on postoperative days (POD) 1-4. The primary outcome was the occurrence of severe complications within 30 days postoperative. A total of 775 SDD patients were matched with 1550 patients discharged on POD 1-4. The occurrence of severe complications was .9% in both groups (P = 1.000), and there were no significant differences in reoperations or mortality. A significant difference was observed in the readmission rate, with 3.9% in the SDD group compared to 1.6% in the other group (P = .001). A proportionally small, yet statistically significant difference favored the control group regarding anastomotic leakages (.6% versus 0%, P = .004) and unspecified surgical complications (1.4% versus .5%, P = .028). Gastric bypass with SDD is safe, with no increased risk of short-term severe complications, reoperations, or mortality. However, SDD is associated with a higher 30-day readmission rate compared to patients who stay overnight in the hospital after surgery.

The safety profile of one-anastomosis gastric bypass compared to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program analysis.

One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is an American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS)-endorsed bariatric surgery. As utilization of OAGB increases, it is important that the safety profile of OAGB be rigorously assessed. We studied the 30-day safety of OAGB compared to a similar gastro-jejunal anastomotic procedure, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) participating bariatric centers in the United States. A matched case-control study was conducted of patients who underwent primary gastric bypass surgery 2021-2022, identified in the MBSAQIP database. Each patient who underwent OAGB was matched to 4 controls who underwent RYGB on age (±10), sex, race, body mass index (BMI) (±5 kg/m2), preoperative functional status, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, and 13 comorbidities. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed. A total of 1569 patients who underwent OAGB were matched to 6276 controls. Matched baseline characteristics were similar between groups. Operative time, length of stay (LOS), and overall complication rate were lower in the OAGB cohort (P < .001) with higher 30-day BMI loss percentage (P = .048). Specifically, OAGB was associated with a significantly lower bowel obstruction rate, as compared to RYGB (.1% versus 1.0%, P < .001). On logistic regression adjusting for all variables used in matching, OAGB was associated with a 27% decrease in overall complication rate (odds ratio [OR] .73, 95% confidence interval [CI] .62-.87, P < .001). Although OAGB is minimally utilized, the 30-day safety profile appears favorable. As compared to RYGB, OAGB was associated with shorter operative time and LOS, and a lower complication rate, partially due to minimization of small bowel obstructions with a loop anatomy. Further evidence in the comparative long-term safety profile is still needed.

Comparing long-term outcomes between laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) are the two most bariatric procedures in Asia. However, a comparison of long-term outcomes is still limited. To compare the degree of long-term weight loss, remission of comorbidities and complication rates after LRYGB and LSG procedures. A retrospective analysis was conducted for all patients who underwent LSG or LRYGB between May 2005 and May 2018 at a single institute with at least 1-5 years of follow up. Demographic data were collected. Of the total 342 patients, 159 underwent primary LSG and 183 patients underwent LRYGB. Preoperative BMI in the LSG group was significantly higher than the LRYGB group (54.7 ± 12.6 kg/m2 vs 48.2 ± 8.2 kg/m2, P = 0.001). Comorbidities between LSG and LRYGB groups were similar. Mean percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) at 5 years after was 23.6 ± 1.7 % in the LSG group vs. 29.9 ± 1.3 % in the LRYGB group (P = 0.005) and LRYGB resulted in greater weight loss than LSG at all time points. The remission of comorbidities were similar in both groups, except that dyslipidemia was significantly better in the LRYGB group. Overall complications were 35.2 % in the LSG group vs. 20.8 % in the LRYGB group (P = 0.003). Our center revealed that LRYGB had better results than LSG in terms of percentage total weight loss at all time points. In the long term, LSG showed a higher overall complication rate compared to LRYGB.
