Abstract:
Morbid obesity is increasingly recognized in children and adolescents. The National Institute of Health Consensus Conference has concluded that bariatric surgery is the only consistent effective method for achieving long-term weight loss. Advantages of the laparoscopic approach, which include decreased hospital stay and morbidity, have been demonstrated in randomized controlled studies. Herein, we describe our technique of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
