Does concomitant cholecystectomy at time of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass impact adverse operative outcomes?
The risk for major adverse events is significantly greater for RYGB + C patients following laparoscopic procedures, and the risk for PLOS is greater for RYGB + C patients following both open and laparoscopic procedures. The short-term risks identified in this study can assist in decision-making when considering concomitant cholecystectomy at the time of RYGB.
Incision of the tunica vaginalis of the ipsilateral testis in addition to the Palomo procedure prevents the development of post-operative hydrocele and causes no adverse sequelae.
