Safety and efficacy of simultaneous cholecystectomy at Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

Kim, Jin-Jo, Schirmer, Bruce·2009·Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases

Abstract

Background To date, published reports have shown an increased length of hospital stay and increased morbidity for patients undergoing simultaneous cholecystectomy during Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). We hypothesized that our experience would not show such adverse outcomes. Methods All RYGB procedures (n = 752) performed by 1 surgeon at our institution from 1995 to 2006 were reviewed for demographic data, operative data, and postoperative outcomes. A laparoscopic approach (LRYGB) was used for 438 procedures. The data from a prospectively gathered institutional database were retrospectively compared using standard statistical analysis. Results Comparing LRYGB with cholecystectomy to LRYGB without cholecystectomy, the operative time was significantly longer (198.4 +/- 61.9 versus 177.7 +/- 57.7 min, P = .001), but the mean hospital stay (3.3 +/- 5.5 versus 2.9 +/- 6.1 d, P = .555), postoperative complication rate (18.3% versus 18.5%, P = .100), and postoperative mortality (0% and .6%, P = 1.000) were not different between the 2 groups. Comparing the open RYGB patients with and without simultaneous cholecystectomy, the operative time was similarly longer (223.4 +/- 63.9 versus 203.5 +/- 57.3 min, P = .005), and the mean hospital stay (5.0 +/- 3.7 versus 4.7 +/- 5.9 d, P = .644), postoperative complication rate (61.4% versus 55.2%, P = .293), and postoperative mortality rate (1.6% versus 2.4%, P = .685) were not different between the 2 groups. Conclusion Although it took, on av…

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.
