Impact of Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on Metabolic Syndrome, Inflammation, and Insulin Resistance in Super Versus Morbidly Obese Women

摘要

Although Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is one of the preferred bariatric procedures in obese individuals, the efficacy of this procedure in the setting of super-obesity [body mass index (BMI) ≥50] is unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of laparoscopic (L) RYGBP to reverse metabolic syndrome, inflammation, and insulin resistance in super-obese women compared to morbidly obese women.
