Abstract
AbstractEdward Mason introduced a different approach to bariatric surgery (BS) in 1966, inspired by the observation that subtotal gastrectomies often cause weight loss (WL) [1]. The first gastric bypass procedure was performed by horizontal section of 10% volume of the upper stomach and anastomosis into the jejunal loop, excluding 90% of the gastric reservoir. Wittgrove and Clark established a standard technique for laparoscopic gastric bypass in 1991 [2]. Similar progressive improvement in the results of Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) is reported in most large series around the world [3, 4].
