The document discusses the mini-gastric bypass (MGB) procedure for weight loss surgery. It provides the background and experience of Dr. Rutledge, who has performed over 6,000 MGB cases. It outlines criteria for an "ideal" weight loss surgery and argues that the MGB meets more of these criteria than other procedures like Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and gastric banding. Specifically, it notes the MGB's low risk, significant weight loss, ease of performance, and minimal complications like marginal ulcers. The document ultimately concludes the MGB is the best choice for weight loss surgery based on meeting objectives and success criteria.

38. Criteria for Success; Ideal Weight Loss Surgery

39. Criteria for Success

40. Marginal Ulcer after Gastric Bypass; RNY & MGB Marginal Ulcers after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Pain for the Patient…Pain for the Surgeon January 2010 by Camellia Racu, Bariatric Times. 2010;7(1):23–25

41. Marginal Ulcer after Gastric Bypass; RNY & MGB

42. Marginal Ulcer after Gastric Bypass; RNY & MGB Marginal ulcers RNYranging from 0.6 to 16% True incidence is very likely much higher Csendesprospective study routine postoperative endoscopic evaluation 28% of marginal ulcers were asymptomatic Gastric Bypass (RNY & MGB)HIGH incidence of Marginal Ulcer BILE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE!!!

43. Incidence of perforated gastrojejunal anastomotic ulcers after RNY April 2002 to April 2010, 1213 patients underwent laparoscopic RYGB Operative mortality was .15% 10 perforated GJA ulcers (.82%) at a mean of 13.5 (6-19) months Morbidity and mortality rate was 30% and 10% Perforated GJA ulcers can develop in 1 of 120 Roux en Y Gastric Bypasses & DEADLY

44. Marginal Ulcers: Achilles Heel of Gastric Bypass Management 1. Warn Patients & Surgeon “Be Vigilant” 2. Aggressive anti-H. Pylori Rx 3. Aggressive use of Antacids 4. Strict Avoidance of Ulcerogenic Agents(NSAIDS, Etoh, Smoking, Coffee, Soda, Nitrates) 5. Encourage: Probiotics, Yogurt, Fruits Vegetables BILE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE!!!

46. Objectives “Ideal” Weight Loss Surgery

47. RNY, Band, Sleeve, MGB

48. MGB Best meets all objectives/success criteria

49. Beware of Marginal Ulcer

51. 100,000’s of people already have and are living with and are getting the Billroth II every day

53. Why haven’t concerned bariatric surgeons stepped forward to start a fund to help suffering Billroth II patients get needed conversions of their surgery to Roux-en-Y?

55. Why haven’t concerned bariatric surgeons stepped forward to national funding for lifetime endoscopic screening of Billroth II patients to find dreaded gastric cancers?

56. It seems odd doesn’t it?

58. The critics of the MGB do not do those things because they are ridiculous

59. Such actions are Not supported by the data

60. The Billroth II and the MGB are both good operations

63. 2. GC Environmental Causes; Easily Prevented

64. 3. Some studies show Small Increased RiskProbably from Ulcers / H. Pylori

65. 4. Many large studies: NO increased risk

66. 5. Endoscopic Screening: Not Recommended

67. 6. General, Trauma & Oncologic Surgeons Use Billroth II
