Long-term benefits of conservative treatments in adolescents are known to be modest, whereas short-term outcomes of adolescent bariatric surgery are promising. We aimed to compare 5-year outcomes of adolescent surgical patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with those of conservati...

Comparison of roux-en-y gastric bypass techniques with and without distal gastric plication in patients with morbid obesity

Cost-effectiveness of gastric bypass for severe obesity.

PURPOSE To estimate the cost-effectiveness of gastric bypass in the treatment of severe obesity. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis of gastric bypass versus no treatment from the payer perspective. We discounted quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), life-years, and cost during the patient's lifetime. Our target group comprised women and men aged 35 to 55 years with...

Chronic Abdominal Pain and Symptoms 5 Years After Gastric Bypass for Morbid Obesity.
