Background After traditional RYGBP, cancer, perforation and bleeding in the gastric remnant are described serious complications that need of early diagnosis; this is a discussed question.

The operation was performed on 345 patients as primary pocedure (mean BMI 47,4 ± 6,1 SD, mean %EBW 103,1 ± 26,7 SD) and on 93 patients as reoperation after VBG and LAGB failure (mean BMI 44,8 ± 6,5 SD at 1st operation and 37,1± 8,5 SD at reoperation).

Abstract
Background After traditional RYGBP, cancer, perforation and bleeding in the gastric remnant are described serious complications that need of early diagnosis; this is a discussed question. Our previously published studies demonstrated the effectiveness of the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (RYGBP-on-VBG) that allow the traditional endoscopic and x-ray study of bypassed stomach. Methods From June 2002 to February 2007, in seven Italian Hospital 438 patients have undergone RYGBP-on-VBG. The operation was performed on 345 patients as primary pocedure (mean BMI 47,4 ± 6,1 SD, mean %EBW 103,1 ± 26,7 SD) and on 93 patients as reoperation after VBG and LAGB failure (mean BMI 44,8 ± 6,5 SD at 1st operation and 37,1± 8,5 SD at reoperation). The postoperative clinical follow-up, including radiologic and/or endoscopic study of the stomach, it has been carried out to six months and yearly. Results With follow-up rate 90%, the mean %EWL of 345 patients turns out 36,2 ± 18,8SD after six months, 49,0 ±17,7SD after one year, 63,3 ± 23,9SD after two years, 66,9 ± 17,5SD after three years, 70,0 ± 17,7SD after four years and 72,0 ± 21,3SD after five years.
