A few years ago, Dr. Robert Rutledge form North Carolina, described with success a few form of derivation that himself calls Mini-Gastric bypass or MGB practiced by laparoscopy that much simpler and faster, (40-60 min) with results excellent more than 5 years and 2600 patients later, and apparently avoids or diminishes the complications of intestinal obstruction and internal hernias of the classical GBP. The patients are usually walking without aid in the w3alkway of the hospital and are offered liquids juices, gelatins, soups, etc, the same evening; the loose of weight is equal to classical GBP. Our group currently recommends this as the procedure of election

Some of the advantages of the MGB:

1. Low risk… almost the same of the of gallbladder operation ,
2. Significant weight Loss. Average 67 kg . ( 140 lbs .)
3. Easier to perform …technically simpler
4. Shorter operating time. Less than 45 Min.
5. Hospitalization very short. Less than 24 hours
6. Loss blood: minimum. Less than 15 Ml.
7. Minimal Pain. Rare use of narcotic later than 24 Hours.
8. Satisfaction of the patient : 98 %
9. Easy to revise or revert by Laparoscopy. Revision < 60 minutes
10. Few perforations or adhesions (0.01 %)
11. Anastomosis failures. Less than 1 %
12. Return to work in no more than 3 days
13. Loss of weight long-lasting. Less than 10 % will “rebound”
14. Does not introduce foreign bodies,
15. The results have been confirmed by independent observers CPA certified
