Laparoscopic FundoRing Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Versus FundoRingOAGB: a Randomized Clinical Trial
Laparoscopic FundoRing Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Versus FundoRingOAGB: a Randomized Clinical Trial
Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective and durable treatment of severe obesity and its co-morbidities.
Gastric bypass is one of the main MBS procedures and is performed using various surgical techniques. The main postoperative bariatric complication after one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is bile reflux, and the main disadvantage of traditional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is dumping syndrome.
The successful strategies for avoiding reflux esophagitis and other complication following gastric bypass is the use FundoRing method for gastric bypass with creation fundoplication employing the excluded (remnant) part of the stomach. Routine use of a modified fundoplication of the OAGB-excluded stomach to treat patients with obesity decreased acid and prevented bile reflux esophagitis significantly more effectively than standard OAGB. However, the anastomosis after OAGB is constantly bathed in bile. This was previously thought to significantly increase the risk of ulcers, but modern data shows that bile may even have a "protective" buffering effect, neutralizing acid, although the risk of alkaline gastritis remains. The results of trial of consequences of reflux bile flow from the intestine into the gastric pouch after OAGB are controversial. How does this affect the incidence of marginal ulcers due to enterogastric reflux? The answers to these questions remain unclear.
The aim of the study was to compare the incidence of distal gastric pouch inflammation and the likelihood of marginal ulcers in patients treated with the FundoRing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass versus the FundoRing OAGB.
Laparoscopic gastric bypass is a minimally invasive weight loss surgery that reduces the stomach's volume to 20 ml and reroutes the small intestine from the gastric pouch, bypassing the duodenum, into the jejunum, limiting food intake and reducing calorie absorption. This technique also involves creating an enteroenterostomy for a variant of the Roux-en-Y procedure. This procedure involves five small incisions, resulting in a faster recovery and fewer complications compared to traditional open surgery.
With an increasing global metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) experience, long-term studies have proven it an effective and durable treatment of severe obesity and its co-morbidities. MBS should be considered a safe and effective primary treatment option or when modern pharmacotherapy does not have an optimal clinical response.

Routine use of a modified fundoplication of the OAGB-excluded stomach to treat patients with obesity decreased acid and prevented bile reflux esophagitis significantly more effectively than standard OAGB at 1 year in a randomized controlled trial]. However, the anastomosis after OAGB is constantly bathed in bile. This was previously thought to significantly increase the risk of ulcers, but modern data shows that bile may even have a "protective" buffering effect, neutralizing acid, although the risk of alkaline gastritis remains. The results of trial of consequences of reflux bile flow from the intestine into the gastric pouch after OAGB are controversial. How does this affect the incidence of marginal ulcers due to enterogastric reflux? The answers to these questions remain unclear.
Therefore, the primary objective of the study was to compare the incidence of distal gastric pouch inflammation and the likelihood of marginal ulcers in patients treated with the FundoRing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass versus the FundoRing OAGB.
