Abstract

Background In patients with morbid obesity, laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is the treatment of choice. Patients with gallstones routinely undergo cholecystectomy at the same time as LRYGB. Although the risk of developing gallstones afterwards is high, prophylactic cholecystectomy during LRYGB remains controversial. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the risk associated with prophylactic cholecystectomy and risk factors for developing gallstones after LRYGB. Methods Data for patients on whom we consecutively performed LRYGB in 2003-2008 were extracted from the prospective bariatric database. The primary endpoint of the study was detection of newly developed gallstones by ultrasonography, and the secondary endpoint was evaluation of the incidence of post-LRYGB cholecystectomy (questionnaire). Results Of 117 patients who underwent LRYGB, 20 (17 %) had a previous and 26 (22 %) had a concomitant cholecystectomy. Of the 71 LRYGB patients remaining who had not had their gallbladders removed, 22 (34 %) developed gallstones, with 11 (17 %) requiring emergency cholecystectomy before the study began. Seven (10 %) patients were lost to follow-up, and 53 (75 %) underwent abdominal ultrasound during follow-up, which detected stones in another 11 (17 %) patients up to end of the study period. Conclusions Nearly 50 % of our patients had either experienced gallstones before LRYGB or developed gallstones after LRYGB. In the group with new gallstone develop…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
