Complication Rates for the first 750
laparoscopic
gastric bypass operations
The table below compares
our results with that of other programs. We
have worked very hard to achieve the
results you see below. Please
note that all of our reported complication
rates are at or below those reported
from elsewhere in the U.S. Please
also note the dramatic decrease in
complications achieved with experience.
These good results were presented
at the New England Surgical Society’s
Annual Meeting in Montreal and will
be published this fall in a respected
surgical journal, Archives of Surgery.
