Nephrolithiasis after Bariatric Surgery: A Comparison of Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is known to increase risk for calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis due to hyperoxaluria; however, nephrolithiasis rates after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are not well described. Our objective was to determine the rate of nephrolithiasis after LRYGB versus LSG.
