The PREBA Study: Effect of Preoperative Weight Loss With a 14-day Low-calorie Diet on Surgical Procedure and Outcomes in Patients Undergoing RYGB Surgery
Sponsor: Rijnstate Hospital
Summary
Bariatric guidelines recommend preoperative weight loss of 5% to reduce the risk of surgical complications. However, results in the literature on the improvement of surgical procedure and outcomes are still conflicting. This study aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative weight loss by means of a 14-day low-calorie diet in bariatric patients on operative time, the ease of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedure and long-term weight loss in a real-life experimental setting.
