Abstract
Aims and Objectives: Present our recent experience in the commonest anti-obesity two procedures. Comparing the early results of laparoscopic gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. Showing the current trends in the anti-obesity surgeries
Results: The study is retrospective. Include all the patients have underwent bariatric surgeries from first October 2011 to 30 September 2012. These operations all were performed by the same surgeon Total number of bariatric surgeries was 405 operations, 160 laparoscopic gastric bypass and 219 laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
Conclusions: Both procedures (LSG & GB) are common, feasible, and safe bariatric procedures. Both groups of patients are comparable in demographic data. Both procedures have comparable results in term of hospital stay. OR time, 3 months and FU compliance, but LSG has more weight loss in first 3 months.Patients preference and acceptance is more in favor of LSG. LSG carries slightly higher risk in term of short term complications specially leak Larger size samples and more studies are required to compare
between the two groups of operations
