Impact of Gastrojejunostomy Anastomosis Diameter on Weight Loss Following Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass: A Systematic Review. Obes Surg 2024; 34:2227-2236. [PMID: 38652437 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07237-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is crucial for significant weight reduction and treating obesity-related issues. However, the impact of gastrojejunostomy (GJ) anastomosis diameter on weight loss remains unclear. We investigate this influence on post-RYGB weight loss outcomes. A systematic search was conducted. Six studies met the inclusion criteria, showing varied GJ diameters and follow-up durations (1-5 years). Smaller GJ diameters generally correlated with greater short-to-medium-term weight loss, with a threshold beyond which complications like stenosis increased. Studies had moderate-to-low bias risk, emphasizing the need for precise GJ area quantification post-operation. This review highlights a negative association between smaller GJ diameters and post-RYGB weight loss, advocating for standardized measurement techniques. Future research should explore intra-operative and AI-driven methods for optimizing GJ diameter determination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This prospective cohort analysis describes changes in weight, cardiometabolic health, and weight-related quality of life (WRQOL) following adolescent LAGB. METHODS Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-LABS) collected demographic, anthropometric, micronutrient, cardiometabolic risk, and WRQOL data for 242 adolescents. Data through 5 years were analyzed for 14 participants who underwent LAGB with 2 patients lost to follow-up. RESULTS Participants (mean age 18.2 ± 0.4 years) were mostly female (86%) and white (71%) with a median body mass index (BMI) of 48.7 kg/m2 (45.5-54.1). Preoperatively, 100%(13/13), 62%(8/13), 57%(8/14), and 7%(1/14) had elevated high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure (EBP), and type 2 diabetes (T2D), respectively. At 5 years, mean BMI decreased by 3.3% (51.0 vs. 49.3 kg/m2, p = 0.6), 43%(6/14) had BMI values exceeding baseline and 21% (3/14) underwent band removal. Postoperative prevalence of hs-CRP, dyslipidemia, EBP, and T2D was 45% (4/11), 36% (5/11), 33% (4/12), and 0% (0/11), respectively. CONCLUSION Adolescents undergoing LAGB experienced modest initial weight loss and improvements in cardiovascular risk factors with later weight regain and frequent need for band removal. Despite the small sample size, this prospective study highlights long-term outcomes with high rates of participant retention over time. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT00465829.

Abstract
Obesity is an epidemic that adversely affects millions of Americans. In 2017, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 93.3 million Americans suffer from obesity.1 Many individuals have undergone laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) procedures in order to lose weight. The procedure is thought to be safe with complication rates reported as low as 1.6% following surgery.2 We present a case of LAGB-associated discitis and osteomyelitis 20 years after placement and examine the current literature on the complication rates of bariatric surgery along with the rare injuries following LAGB placement.
