Tailored one anastomosis gastric bypass & #8211; Subgroup analysis of a randomised control trial based on bilio-pancreatic limb length with long-term results of 101 patients

Conclusions: Tailored BPL of 150 and 180 cm do not show any difference in the number of patients achieving >50% EWL or >20% TWL and so increasing limb length may not increase the number of good responders for weight loss. Although the resolution of T2DM and improvement of QoL score do not change significantly with increase in BPL length, mean serum iron levels may be lower with longer BPL.
