Reversal of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Swedish National Cohort Study
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
Objective:
To investigates incidence, indications, symptom relief, complications, and weight outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) reversal.
Background:
RYGB is an effective treatment for obesity, but in rare cases may be associated with severe long-term complications requiring RYGB reversal. Evidence on incidence and outcomes is limited.
Methods:
This nationwide, multi-center, retrospective cohort study included all patients undergoing RYGB reversal in Sweden between 2007 and 2023. Data were obtained from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg) and medical records.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Symptom relief — Through study completion, an average of 2 years.
Symptom relief is classified as no, partial, or complete improvement. Complete improvement was defined as full resolution of the index symptom (e.g., cessation of hypoglycemia, pain-free status without analgesics). Partial improvement denoted a clinically meaningful reduction in symptom severity or frequency that did not meet criteria for complete resolution. No improvement indicated persistent symptoms.
