Abstract
We conducted a systematic review to examine perioperative outcomes for adults undergoing minimally invasive Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) with and without concurrent cholecystectomy (CCE). We reviewed the literature using OVID MEDLINE(R), Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Web of Science, and medRxiv and identified studies published between 1946 and May 2023. We identified a total of 2402 studies with 11 included in the final analysis (combined 149,356 patients). Studies suggested increased operative time associated with RYGB-CCE, with mixed results regarding length of stay and rates of bile duct injury. Presently available data is not robust enough to conclude whether minimally invasive RYGB with CCE harms or benefits patients compared to RYGB alone.
