Abstract
BACKGROUND: Complications arising from laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are not insignificant and can necessitate additional invasive interventions or reoperations. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we identify early complications that result in nonoperative and operative interventions after LSG and LRYGB, the timeframe within which to expect them, and factors that influence the likelihood of their occurrence. SETTING: Multi-institutional database from across North America. METHODS: Data for this study were obtained from Metabolic and Bariatric Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program participant use files for 2015 and 2016. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA 15. Univariate analysis using Χ2 for categoric data and independent t test for continuous data was performed to determine between group differences. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of operative and nonoperative reinterventions. RESULTS: In 2015 and 2016, 243,747 underwent LRYGB or LSG, of which 3013 (1.24%) required a second operative procedure and 1536 (0.63%) required an invasive but nonoperative intervention. Complications occurred in 5.48% of LRYGB patients and 2.28% of LSG patients, the most common of which was bleeding. LSG was associated with far fewer nonoperative and operative interventions (.85% versus 2.2%, respectively) than LRYGB (.67% versus 2.5%). Renal insufficiency, including dialysis dependency, was an important predictor of reoperations among bariatric surgery patients. This was also true of nonoperative interventions; however, history of pulmonary embolism, and use of therapeutic anticoagulation were marginally stronger predictors. CONCLUSIONS: In a representative, multinational sample, operative and nonoperative interventions were half as likely among LSG patients compared with LRYGB; however, overall rates still remained low. These findings, in conjunction with new efficacy data demonstrating comparable long-term weight loss between LRYGB and LSG, provide further support for the safety, effectiveness, and cost efficiency of LSG.
