Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy conversion to gastric bypass: conversion rate over time, predictors of conversion, and weight loss outcomes

CONCLUSIONS: Conversion of LSG to RYGB increased with time to 12.6% conversion rate at 7-years. Patients with GERD prior to LSG had a nonsignificant trend toward conversion, while younger patients and females had significantly higher rates of conversion. There may be additional weight loss benefit for patients converted to RYGB.PMID:38155076 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2023.11.018
