Abstract
Background:One-anastomosis/mini-gastric bypass (OAGB/MGB), as a popular bariatric surgery method, has many advantages; however, the biliopancreatic limb length (BPL) in this surgery is under debate. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of BPL on weight-loss outcome after OAGB/MGB.Materials and Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed on 653 patients who underwent OAGB/MGB with adjusted BPL based on preoperative body mass index (BMI) and patient's age, between 2010 and 2015 with 12-month follow-ups. Weight-loss outcomes and complications were analyzed in these patients, considering BPL.Results:Weight, age, sex, and type 2 diabetes mellitus were the most contributory predictors as independent predictors of 12-month excess weight loss, respectively, and BPL was the least contributory predictor.Conclusion:Tailoring BPL in OAGB/MGB based on patient's age and preoperative BMI seems to have acceptable results.
