A 7-Year Clinical Audit of 1107 Cases Comparing Sleeve Gastrectomy, Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass, and Mini-Gastric Bypass, to Determine an Effective and Safe Bariatric and Metabolic Procedure

Conclusions RYGB and MGB act on the principle of restriction and malabsorption, but MGB superseded RYGB in its technical ease, efficacy, revisibility, and reversibility. Mortality was zero in MGB. %EWL and resolution of comorbidities were highly significant in MGB. Based on this audit, we suggest that MGB is the effective and safe procedure for patients who are compliant in taking their supplements. LSG may be done in non-compliant patients and those ready to accept weight regain.
