Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity.

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction Bariatric surgery procedures have increased dramatically in the last decade, mainly due to the growing epidemic problem of morbid obesity in the United States and the advent and acceptance of minimally invasive techniques to perform bariatric operations. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure, in which a very small gastric pouch is created and a Roux limb of jejunum is anastomosed, was the most common procedure performed in 2005.
