What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The study aims to investigate whether tailoring limb lengths based on the 1/3rd and 2/3rd concept improves clinical outcomes in Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) surgery compared to conventional limb lengths. In this study, two groups were described, first group involves patients who will undergo Lap RYGB with conventional limb lengths of 75cms and 125cms, while the second group is given tailored limb lengths according to the total small bowel length. In the follow up period, Total percentage weight loss, improvement in BMI along with the remission of co-morbidities were also assessed.
