The One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass Is a Suitable Alternative to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in Patients with Body Mass Index ≥50 kg/m2: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Body mass index (BMI) ≥50 kg/m2 is more challenging for the metabolic bariatric surgeon because of a thicker abdominal wall, more visceral fat, and hepatomegaly by liver steatosis. This study aimed to give an overview of 5-year outcomes after one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in these patients in terms of weight loss, remission of comorbidities, and complications.

Methods

This retrospective single-center cohort study focused on patients with BMI ≥50 kg/m2 undergoing OAGB or RYGB between 2015 and 2017 at a nonacademic teaching hospital in the Netherlands. A 1:1 propensity score-matched (PSM) comparison was conducted.

Results

In total, 158 patients underwent OAGB and 32 patients RYGB. After performing a 1:1 PSM, we ob
