Band removal and conversion to sleeve or bypass: are they equally safe?
Band removal with conversion to RYGB is not associated with higher morbidity or mortality compared to primary RYGB. However, band removal with conversion to sleeve gastrectomy appears to be independently associated with a higher rate of major complications and mortality, and thus may not be the salvage procedure of choice.
AMH correlates better than age, FSH, and inhibin B with the number of retrieved oocytes. Serum basal AMH may offer a better prognostic value for clinical pregnancy than other currently available markers of IVF outcome in our preliminary study.
