Roux first performed one of these Y-shaped anastomoses for gastric obstruction in 1892 and described the technique a year later in a series of 29 cases.

Occurrence of anastomotic leaks following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), arising principally from the gastro-jejunal anastomosis, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Their early ...

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery was once the most common weight loss surgeries, but it is far outpaced by the sleeve gastrectomy. Gastric bypass accounts for only 18% of weight loss surgeries.

To date, this is the largest series comparing biliary reconstruction via either end-to-side Roux-en-Y jejunal anastomosis or direct duodenal anastomosis with at least 2-year follow-up.

By dissecting the gastro-oesophageal junction form the crus, stretching the gastric pouch, transecting the jejunal mesentery, using a retrocolic/retrogastric route, and creating a fully hand-sewn ...

Open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was performed with the standard technique adopted at our department: laparotomy through bilateral subcostal incision, antecolic and antegastric placement of the Roux limb ...

We describe six patients (five women and one man; median age, 47 years; range, 39 to 54) with postprandial symptoms of neuroglycopenia owing to endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia after Roux-e ...

Gastric bypass, medically known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a type of bariatric surgery involving “bypassing” parts of the gastrointestinal tract to aid in weight loss.

While both Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy resulted in weight loss and lower HbA1c across all racial and ethnic groups, Black and Hispanic patients who underwent gastric bypass ...

Conclusions This study showed long-term durability of weight loss and effective remission and prevention of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
