Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) results in higher rates of sustained excess weight loss compared to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
LRYGB may be a more effective option for patients seeking long-term weight loss.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Those with sustained EWL≥50% and EWL≥70% at the end of follow-up were more likely to have underwent a LRYGB versus a LSG.
Why this rating
Based on the prospective cohort study design.
