Abstract

Global obesity has become an epidemic, responsible in part for the soaring tide of chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) and Roux en Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) are the two most commonly performed types of bariatric surgery. Both of these procedures result in massive weight loss and amelioration of obesity co-morbidities, however they have very different long term outcomes, complications, and effects on quality of life. This review, then, aims to compare the clinical outcomes of SG and RYGB, and to contrast side of key issues including loss in weight, resolution of co-morbidities, complications, nutritional deficiencies and patient satisfaction. The intent is to instruct the clinician to guide the best bariatric surgery option for the patient. Database such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were used for conducting of a comprehensive search of literature. This review includes studies of adult patients who have undergone either SG or RYGB and involve randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies, and meta analyses. Weight loss (% excess weight loss) resolution of co-morbidities (diabetes, hypertension) complications, nutritional deficiencies, and quality of life were key outcomes evaluted. Significant weight loss was seen with both SG and RYGB but RYGB has superior, long term weight loss and co-morbidity resolution, especially with diabetes. The short term complication rates were lower and there were fewer risks for malnutrition with SG. But SG patients were more likely to have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). We found that RYGB was more associated with metabolic outcomes and less nutritional deficiencies. However, both SG and RYGB are effective solutions for severe obesity, with SG itself a simpler procedure and having a better safety profile in the short term and RYGB with additional long term metabolic benefits. Repeat treatments were provided if indicated by clinical characteristics or long term goals that are applicable to individual patients.
