Abstract

In patients with BMI greater than 50, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) may not be adequate to treat obesity. To determine whether one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) can provide better outcomes compared with SG in patients with BMI greater than 50, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted, including a total of nine retrospective studies with a total of 2332 participants. There was a significant difference in the percentage of excess weight loss [weighted mean difference (WMD): 8.52; 95% CI: 5.81-11.22; P<0.001) and percentage of total weight loss (WMD: 6.65; 95% CI: 5.05-8.24; P<0.001). No significant differences were seen in operative time (WMD: 1.91; 95% CI: -11.24 to 15.07; P=0.77) and length of stay in hospital (WMD: -0.41; 95% CI: -1.18 to 0.37; P=0.30) between the two groups. There were no significant differences between OAGB with SG in Clavien-Dindo grades I-III [odds ratio (OR): 1.56; 95% CI: 0.80-3.05], or grade IV complications (OR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.18-2.94). The meta-analysis on remission of type 2 diabetes indicated a comparable effect between SG and OAGB (OR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.28-2.16). The OAGB group had a significantly higher rate of remission of hypertension compared with the SG group (OR: 1.63; 95% CI: 1.06-2.50). The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that the OAGB accomplished a higher percentage of total weight loss and percentage of excess weight loss at short-term and mid-term follow-up but, there was no major difference between the OAGB and SG operations in terms of perioperative outcomes, complications, and diabetes remission.
