Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for super/super obesity

N T Nguyen et al. Obes Surg. 1999 Aug.

Abstract

Laparoscopic gastric bypass has been recently introduced as an alternative method to conventional open gastric bypass. This procedure has been generally limited to patients with a BMI <60 kg/m2 due to the possible technical limitations of the laparoscopic instruments. In this article, we present a patient with super/super obesity (61 kg/m2) who underwent Rouxen-Y gastric bypass using the laparoscopic approach.
