Sleeve has fewer complications than bypass
The early results from the Swiss Multicentre Bypass or Sleeve Study (SM-BOSS) have shown that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was associated with shorter operation time and a trend toward fewer complications than with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), however, the difference was not statistically significant. The outcomes were published in the journal Annals of Surgery.
