Commentary Re: Laparoscopic Versus Open Gastric Bypass.
- Authors
Jones Jr., Kenneth B.
- Abstract
The author comments on a study which compared the efficacy of laparoscopic against open gastric bypass. The author shares his experience of using a left subcostal incision in about 4,000 open bariatric cases including about 3,500 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) procedure in an extensive surgical career. The author refutes the study's conclusion that laparoscopic gastric bypass is safer than open gastric bypass. He references a related study by Dr. Slotman.
