394 – Pancreatoduodenectomy Following Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass: Operative Considerations and Outcomes

Kidney stone risk following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery

Since the first report in 2005, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery has been linked to a variety of metabolic changes that alter kidney stone risk. The studies with the highest level of evidence, performed in non-stone forming patients before and after RYGB, cite a number of kidney stone risk factors, including a 25% increase in urinary oxalate, a 30% decrease in urinary citrate, and reduct...

Totally robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that we could develop a safe and effective technique for performing a totally robotic laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure using the da Vinci surgical system. We anticipated that the learning curve for this totally robotic procedure could be shorter than the learning curve for standard laparoscopic bariatric surgery. DESIGN Retrospective case comparison s...
