Overcoming the learning curve of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: A 12-year experience

Background Surgical treatment of morbid obesity with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is technically challenging and involves high-risk patients. In this study, the short-term outcome of LRYGB in a large population of patients has been evaluated, and morbimortality before and after overcoming the learning curve has been assessed. The objective of this study was to establish the learning curve for laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric...
