What is Predictive factors of biliary complications after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgeries about?
Background Previous studies have confirmed the association between biliary disease and bariatric operations. Biliary complications may include cholecystitis, biliary pancreatitis, cholangitis, biliary polyps, biliary sludge and gallstones. It is believed that cholelithiasis is the result of increased biliary stasis due to alterations in the enterohepatic circulation and hormonal changes associated with weight loss. However, research regarding predictive factors other than the percentage of excess weight loss (EWL) is limited. In addition, preventive measures of gallstone formation and potential related complications are still debated. Aim The goal of this article is to assess the predictive factors of biliary complications after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) in order to review the possible need for future surveillance via radiological studies. Method ology: A retrospective review of 118 patients who underwent LSG and LRYGB between 2015 and 2016 in Jordan University Hospital (single centre) was performed in order to complete this cohort study. Patients with previous cholecystectomies or biliary disease prior to bariatric op
