Master’s Program Bariatric Pathway: Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the most commonly performed bariatric/metabolic procedures, with most performed laparoscopically. It is an effective bariatric procedure with excellent long-term weight loss and improvement in comorbidities, especially type 2 diabetes (T2D) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It does, however, have a longer learning curve compared to sleeve gastrectomy and gastric banding. Advance training is recommended to achieve good patient outcomes.
