Abstract

A total of 175 patients were analyzed for postoperative outcomes of mini-gastric bypass (MGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).

  • The length of hospital stay was significantly shorter for the MGB group (p:0.001).
  • Excess weight loss (EWL%) was significantly higher in the MGB group (90.3%) compared to the LSG group (79.2%).
  • Total weight loss (TWL%) was also higher in the MGB group (36.4%) than in the LSG group (30.5%).
  • Fewer patients in the MGB group experienced symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux (4.9%) compared to the LSG group (18.5%).
  • No significant differences were noted between groups in operating time, conversion to open surgery, early postoperative complications, or remission rates of comorbidities.
