关于About this treatment

What the procedure involves.

One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB/MGB), a simplified bypass procedure with a single gastrojejunal anastomosis offering comparable weight loss to Roux-en-Y with reduced operative complexity. Widely performed in Chinese bariatric centers, this procedure creates a long narrow gastric pouch with a loop gastrojejunostomy, combining restriction with controlled malabsorption. Its technical simplicity results in shorter operative times and potentially fewer complications.

流程Procedure steps

Step by step.

  1. 01

    Pre-operative Evaluation

    BMI and comorbidity assessment, upper endoscopy to rule out reflux esophagitis, metabolic panel, and multidisciplinary clearance

    Duration · 2-3 days
  2. 02

    Pre-operative Diet

    2-week low-calorie diet for liver volume reduction, protein supplementation, and baseline nutritional labs

    Duration · 2 weeks
  3. 03

    Laparoscopic OAGB

    Creation of long narrow gastric pouch (15-18cm), loop gastrojejunostomy at 200cm from ligament of Treitz, leak test

    Duration · 1.5-2 hours
  4. 04

    Nutritional Program

    Diet progression protocol, bile reflux monitoring, vitamin and mineral supplementation, and regular follow-up with weight and metabolic tracking

    Duration · 12 months
Benefits
  • Simpler single-anastomosis technique with shorter operative time
  • Comparable weight loss to traditional gastric bypass (65-75% EWL)
  • Easily reversible or revisable if needed
  • Lower risk of internal hernia compared to Roux-en-Y
Considerations
  • Bile reflux into gastric pouch and esophagus
  • Marginal ulcer at anastomosis site
  • Nutritional deficiencies particularly iron and B12
  • Potential need for revision if reflux becomes problematic
