Is MGB the New Gold Standard ?
No, But Thank You
I Am Both Proud And Humbled
To Be Here With You
It Is a Great Honor To See So Many Friends
Bless You All And
I Hope That I Can Entertain You For a Few Minutes
MGB Does Not
Wish to Be the “Gold Standard”
But
Now the MGB
Stands Fully the Equal to Any Operation
Shoulder to Shoulder with you
In Our Battle Against Obesity and Diabetes
Join Us!
Good Bariatric Surgery
• We all know and Agree:
• Sleeve, RNY & Other Operations are good
• We MGB Surgeons are Not Critical of the
Other Operations or Surgeons
• We measure the MGB against Sleeve / RNY
• They the Standards we compare ourselves
Growing Number of Studies:
The MGB:
Equal To or Better Than
Sleeve / RNY & Any other operation

MGB “Best”/Good Bariatric Surgery?
Example Recent Study: MGB is “Good Surgery”
Obes Surg. 2017 Sep;27(9):2479-2487
=> MGB vs. Sleeve Gastrectomy <=
Systematic Review and Meta-analysis, Magouliotis DE
* 17 * studies *6,761* patients
“This study reveals:”
MGB Better “Weight loss, Remission of comorbidities,
Shorter hospital stay, & Lower Mortality”
“Sleeve Higher Rate GERD” (=> Barrett's & Esophageal Cancer)
“Mini-gastric bypass simpler, safer, and more
effective than laparoscopic sleeve
gastrectomy”
• Medicine (Baltimore). 2017 Dec
• Comparison of safety and effectiveness
between
•Laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass and
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy:
A meta-analysis and systematic review.
•Wang FG
“Mini-gastric bypass simpler, safer, and more
effective than laparoscopic sleeve
gastrectomy”
• “Due to safe and simple process
and effective outcomes
• laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass
has become one of the most
popular procedures in some
countries”
“Mini-gastric bypass simpler, safer, and more
effective than laparoscopic sleeve
gastrectomy”
METHODS:
A systematic literature search
was performed
“Mini-Gastric Bypass had a
lot of advantages”
1. Higher 1-year EWL%
(excess weight loss),
2. Higher 5-year EWL%,
3. Lower leak rate,
4. Higher T2DM remission
rate, higher hypertension
remission rate, higher
obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) remission rate,
5. Lower overall late
complications rate,
6. Lower gastroesophageal
reflux disease (GERD) rate,
7. Shorter hospital stay and
8. Lower revision rate.
Obes Surg. 2017 Nov 3. Revisional Gastric Bypass for Failed
Restrictive Procedures: Comparison of Single-Anastomosis
(Mini-) and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. Almalki OM
• 2001 - 2015, 116 patients
• Failed restrictive operations
• Revisional bypass surgery
(R-MGB vs. R-RNY)
• R-RNY significantly longer operative times than
R-MGB.
• R-MGB shown to be
Simpler procedure with
Better weight loss than R-RNY
Sleeve, RNY & Others are Good...
The MGB is As Good as or
Better Than ...
BUT
The MGB has Been Shown to
Be One of the Most Effective
and Powerful Forms of Bariatric
Surgery
In Hundreds of Papers it Has
Also Been Shown to Be a Safe
and Simple Procedure
BUT...
MGB Need for Standardization, Education & Recognition
The MGB
Has Great Power
The MGB Surgeon Has
Great Responsibility
Tips and Tricks
MGB: Done Well is a Simple Operation
But: Surgeon Needs to Understand
Anatomy & Physiology =>
Mechanism of Action => Technique
Need for Safety
• Beware of Brave Surgeons
• Need to Understand
1. How to Avoid Trouble
2. How to Get Out of Trouble
“Mini-Gastric Bypass”
Done Right!
(Note, If you wish to do MGB or Omega Loop
etc. Of course, No Problem
But,If you wish to do MGB,
This is How We Do It!)

Billroth II
Decreases the Risk of
Stroke, Coronary Heart Disease &
Diabetes and more
A Nationwide Population-Based Study
Billroth II Decreased Risk of Stroke
• 6,425 patients Billroth II for Ulcer
• Nationwide Health Database
• Matched with 25,602 Ulcer Pts who did not
receive Billroth II
• Billroth II patients had a lower risk
of Stroke!
• Medicine (Baltimore). 2016 Apr;95(16)

General Surgery: Sleeve vs MGB vs RNY
J Gastric Cancer. 2017 Jun;17(2):99-109
Nutritional Outcomes of Patients with Gastric Cancer
• Comparison of Partial Gastrectomy +
• Billroth I (Sleeve), Billroth II (MGB), RNY (RNY)
• Regarding post-distal gastrectomy reconstruction,
those who underwent Roux-en-Y had lower levels than
Billroth-I and Billroth-II
first to fifth years after gastrectomy, respectively (P<0.05)
• CONCLUSIONS: “Patients undergoing gastrectomy with Roux-
en-Y anastomosis or adjuvant chemotherapy should be
monitored carefully for malnutrition”
General Surgery Data
• Comparison
• Gastrectomy + Billroth I
(No Duodenal Exclusion) => Like Sleeve
• Gastrectomy Billroth II
(WITH Duodenal Exclusion) = Like MGB
Understand Advantage of
Billroth II vs Billroth I, (i.e. MGB vs Sleeve)
• General Surgery
• 2-year Diabetes remission rate:
Billroth I 39% (Sleeve No Duodenal Exclusion)
Billroth II 50% (MGB WITH Duodenal Exclusion)
• BII significantly increased diabetes remission
• (odds ratio, * 3.2 *) in covariate-adjusted
logistic regression analysis

Diabetes resolution after MGB
•25% had diabetes with average glycosylated
hemoglobin of 8.6 ± 1.9 g%
•Average excess weight loss 1 year after surgery
was 88.9 ± 27.3
• Of all diabetic patients, only 7.8% were still
diabetic average glycosylated hemoglobin of 5.4
± 0.6
• CONCLUSIONS: MGB offers excellent resolution
of diabetes.
Evaluation of Weight Loss Indicators and Laparoscopic One-
Anastomosis Gastric Bypass Outcomes.

• Greatest weight loss was observed at 12
months post surgery (69 ± 13 kg).
15-year experience of laparoscopic single anastomosis
(mini-)gastric bypass: comparison with other bariatric
procedures, Alkhalifah N Surg Endosc. 2018 Jan 8,
• “Mini-gastric bypass (MGB) has been validated as a safe and
effective treatment for morbid obesity”
• 1,731 morbidly obese patients
• 30-day post-operative major complication 1.7% less than
RNY & Sleeve
• At postoperative 1, 5 & 10 yrs,
%WL of MGB patients 33 -29%
• The MGB had a higher weight loss than RNY & LSG
2-6 years after surgery.
• Revision rate of MGB 4.0%
Lower than RNY & LSG.

Tragic/Deadly in the
Wrong Hands
Example of Failed Understanding Leading to Errors
in Management and Patient Harm
• My Time is limited there are many
examples
• 1 Recent Tragic Publication
• 2 years ago

• “Significant Liver-Related Morbidity After Bariatric
Surgery and Its Reversal-a Case Series”, Eilenberg et al
• Moderate - Severe Liver damage
• Fatigue (90%), ascites (70%), hepatic encephalopathy
(30%), and upper gastrointestinal bleeding (20%).
• Elevation of transaminases, impairment of coagulation
parameters, thrombocytopenia, and hypoalbuminemia
were present in 70 - 100%
Example of Failed MGB Limb Understanding
Leading to Errors in Management and Patient
Harm
• 2 yrs ago we warned that the

Dr Rutledge's Advice
MGB Technique
• If You Do Not Understand the Basic
General Surgery Principles to the MGB
• My advice will not appear justified
• Expertise from Band, Sleeve, RNY &
BPD/Sadi
• Often do not apply to the Anatomy &
Physiology of the MGB
• Reminders of Basic GI Surgery the MGB
MGB Need for Standardization, Education & Recognition
Good Bariatric Surgery
• We all know and Agree:
• Sleeve, RNY & Other Operations are good
• We MGB Surgeons are Not Critical of the
Other Operations or Surgeons
• We measure the MGB against Sleeve / RNY
• They the Standards we compare ourselves
Conclusions:
And A Warning
• Mini-Gastric Bypass
Shown to be an excellent operation
Equal to or Better than Other Procedures
But Only in Trained & Experienced Hands
• But Many New Surgeons Do Not Know the Critical Factors to
Do the MGB Correctly Resulting in Dangerous and Deadly
Outcomes

  • 63. Dr Rutledge's Advice MGB Technique • If You Do Not Understand the Basic General Surgery Principles to the MGB • My advice will not appear justified • Expertise from Band, Sleeve, RNY & BPD/Sadi • Often do not apply to the Anatomy & Physiology of the MGB • Reminders of Basic GI Surgery the MGB
  • 65. Good Bariatric Surgery • We all know and Agree: • Sleeve, RNY & Other Operations are good • We MGB Surgeons are Not Critical of the Other Operations or Surgeons • We measure the MGB against Sleeve / RNY • They the Standards we compare ourselves
  • 66. Conclusions: And A Warning • Mini-Gastric Bypass Shown to be an excellent operation Equal to or Better than Other Procedures But Only in Trained & Experienced Hands • But Many New Surgeons Do Not Know the Critical Factors to Do the MGB Correctly Resulting in Dangerous and Deadly Outcomes
