Abstract:
Morbid obesity afflicts one third of the population in the United States and decreases life expectancy by 5-20 years. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) has been an established operation for the treatment of morbid obesity for nearly three decades. There are several different techniques for performing a LRYGB. We describe our circular stapled gastrojejunostomy technique and our preoperative and postoperative management of patients.
