Finally, a reason to change the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
This excellent paper by Zorrilla-Nunez et al. [1] reviews the body of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass literature concerning limb lengths. They findthat the biliopancreatic limb is the most important measurement in determining outcomes, whereas the Roux limb length plays no effect in long-term outcomes. However, this paper could have just as easily said bypassing more intestine is better.
