Background
It has been suggested that shortening the biliopancreatic limb (BPL) length with one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) to 150 cm would reduce the revision rates for malnutrition. But, it remains unclear if this would not compromise the efficacy of this procedure.
Methods
We examined our prospectively maintained database to compare the outcomes of patients who had their OAGB performed with a 150-cm BPL with those performed with a 200-cm BPL.
Results
Medium-term weight loss data at 18–24 months was available for 343/398 (86.1% follow-up) patients. Of these, 225 had undergone OAGB-200 and 118 had undergone OAGB-150. The mean preoperative weight and body mass index were 141.6 ± 32.8 kg and 49.76 ± 8.6 kg/m2, respectively, in the OAGB-200 group compared with 133.7 ± 24.5 kg and 47.83 ± 7.2 kg/m2, respectively, in the OAGB-150 group. There was no significant difference in albumin and haemoglobin levels in the two groups at 18-month follow-up. The mean excess weight loss was 75.0% ± 20.1 in the OAGB-200 group and 74.0% ± 22.0 in the OAGB-150 group (p = 0.6714). A total of 89.7% (n = 202) patients achieved an excess weight loss (EWL) of ≥ 50.0% in the OAGB-200 group compared with 85.5% (n = 103) in the OAGB-150 group (p value = 0.4754). The mean total weight loss was 36.1% ± 9.2 in the OAGB-200 group compared with 34.0% ± 9.8 in the OAGB-150 group (p value = 0.0598).
Conclusions
OAGB performed with a BPL of 150 cm delivers weight loss outcomes similar to that seen with a BPL of 200 cm.
