    Area of Science:

    • Bariatric surgery
    • Surgical management of obesity

    Background:

    • Conservative obesity treatments often fail.
    • Intestinal bypass surgery leads to significant weight loss but has numerous complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 90% gastric bypass for severe obesity.
    • To compare gastric bypass with intestinal bypass in managing morbid obesity.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 39 patients underwent 90% gastric bypass.
    • Follow-up ranged from six months to three years.

    Main Results:

    • Patients achieved satisfactory weight loss.
    • Gastric bypass, despite being a major procedure, showed a lack of significant metabolic complications.

    Conclusions:

    • 90% gastric bypass is an effective treatment for severe obesity.
    • Gastric bypass is a more acceptable surgical management option than intestinal bypass due to fewer metabolic sequelae.
