Ring Augmentation of the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Propensity Score Matched Analysis of 5-Year Follow-Up Results.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ring-augmented Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (raRYGB) has been reported to result in higher long-term weight loss compared to regular Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). However, the type of ring used varied within studies, leading to heterogeneity in reported results. Therefore, this study compares the 5-year results of RYGB with and without ring augmentation using a specific prefabricated gastric ring.

Methods

All consecutive patients from a single center who received primary raRYGB between June 1, 2016, and May 31, 2018, with complete 5-year follow-up data were included and compared to a propensity score matched cohort receiving RYGB in the same period from the Dutch Audit for Treatment of Obesity. To ensure fair effect estimation of placing a ring, only RYGB proce
