Postoperative complications are not increased in super-super obese patients who undergo laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

It has been suggested that super-super obesity (body mass index [BMI] > or =60 kg/m2) increases the risk of complications after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LapRYGB). We hypothesized that a higher BMI does not increase risk the morbidity or mortality rate. Complication rates for patient...

Zusammenfassung:It has been suggested that super-super obesity (body mass index [BMI] > or =60 kg/m2) increases the risk of complications after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LapRYGB). We hypothesized that a higher BMI does not increase risk the morbidity or mortality rate. Complication rates for patients with a BMI > or =60 kg/m2 were compared to those for patients with a BMI
