| Abstract |
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective treatment for morbid obesity. Failure of weight loss has been reported in 10 to 30% of RYGB patients. Silastic ring RYGB was introduced to minimize failure rate, however, with higher complication rate. The aim of our study is to evaluate the safety of utilizing pericardial patch as a ring on RYGB patients. |
