Complications for pain were also higher in the L-TEP group as compared to R-TAPP group and approached borderline significance (p = 0.06).
Complications for pain were also higher in the L-TEP group as compared to R-TAPP group and approached borderline significance (p = 0.06).
The type of biliary pathology at the time of cholecystectomy included 12 patients (6.15%) with choledocholithiasis, three of which were RYGB patients and nine of which were SG patients; the type of biliary pathology between groups approached significance (p = 0.067).
At 3 months, there was more GERD in SG-NP (P = 0.049), and although GERD was higher at 6 and 12 months, these did not reach statistical significance.
This study did not show significance in stricture or surgical revision rates with respect to barbed suture use alone; however, a trend toward significance for revision in barbed EJ anastomoses was noted.
