    Summary

    Jejunoileal bypass (JIB) and gastric bypass (GIB) surgeries offer comparable weight loss for morbidly obese patients. However, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GIB-Roux) shows fewer long-term complications and is recommended.

    Area of Science:

    • Bariatric Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Obesity Medicine

    Background:

    • Morbid obesity presents significant health challenges, necessitating effective surgical interventions.
    • Jejunoileal bypass (JIB) and various gastric bypass (GIB) procedures have been utilized for weight reduction.
    • Comparative analysis of different bariatric procedures is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy and safety of jejunoileal bypass (JIB) with different types of gastric bypass (GIB) for weight reduction.
    • To evaluate long-term complications, weight loss, and metabolic effects associated with these procedures.
    • To determine the optimal bariatric surgical approach based on patient outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective comparison of 205 JIBs, 106 GIB-loops, 53 GIB-EEs, and 57 GIB-Roux procedures performed between 1975 and 1982.

  • Assessment of excess body weight loss, operative mortality, immediate morbidity, and long-term complications.
  • Evaluation of plasma cholesterol levels and liver disease progression via sequential biopsies at one year post-operation.

    • Main Results:

    • All procedures resulted in adequate weight loss (80% of follow-up patients) with similar excess body weight loss in the first year.
    • Jejunoileal bypass (JIB) had higher long-term complication rates (37.7% arthralgia, 7.1% urolithiasis, 5.6% incisional hernia, 1.4% liver failure).
    • Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GIB-Roux) demonstrated significantly fewer serious long-term complications (16% nausea/vomiting, 1.7% anastomotic problems) and better improvement in liver disease (65% improvement vs. 20% for JIB).

    Conclusions:

    • Comparable therapeutic weight reduction was achieved across all assessed bariatric procedures.
    • Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GIB-Roux) is associated with significantly fewer serious long-term complications compared to JIB and other GIB variations.
    • The GIB-Roux procedure is recommended as the preferred weight reduction operation due to its favorable safety profile and efficacy.
