One of the Best in the Nation! | |
A new national study of bariatric surgery discharge data from hospitals all across the country predicts bariatric surgical outcomes and compares the actual surgical results and complications with the predicted/expected results and outcomes. This study showed that in contrast to the expected complication rates of over 6%, Dr. Rutledge's bariatric program at St. Rose Hospital in Henderson Nevada had an actual complication rate of just over 1%. This was graded as 5 stars, one of the best weight loss surgery programs in the country. |

More Happy
MGB Patients | Hello All!
I haven't written in a LONG TIME! My name is Kory and I had my surgery on Feb 20th, 2008 with Dr. R in Vegas. I wanted to share a great moment with all of you. I have been heavy my ENTIRE LIFE...well at least since age 5. I am a Marine Wife and each year we have celebrate the birthday of the Marine Corps at the Marine Corps ball. It is a very formal event where the women wear gowns etc. I have always loved going to the ball, but dreaded finding a gown that fit and was of course uncomfortable all night knowing I looked like a HOUSE in my gown. Well NOT THIS YEAR! This was the FIRST ball since my surgery. I went shopping for a gown with my mom. I was able to buy a gown OFF the RACK and it fit me PERFECT! I am pleased to say I wore a size 6 petite! It was a GORGEOUS Gown and I received SOOO many compliments. For the first Ball in 12 years, I was HAPPY, felt comfortable and could wear a pair of heels all night without my feet killing me! I have uploaded a picture of my husband and I at the ball to the website. THANKS Dr. R for helping me make every DREAM come TRUE! Kory

| New Study Confirms Mini-Gastric Bypass: A Cost-effective alternative to RNY | A new study of the Mini-gastric bypass Hôtel-Dieu in France and Beirut, Lebanon. rnoun@wise.net.lb again shows the value of the MGB! "Laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass (MGB) is being increasingly performed worldwide. 126 patients underwent minilap MGB. There was no hospital mortality, and the in-hospital complication rate was 4.7%. No anastomotic leakage occurred. 3 patients (2.3%) developed marginal ulcers. At 1 year, mean excess weight loss was 68.4% and comorbidities resolved in 85%.

Moreover, the procedure is easily reversible laparoscopically when post-operative complication occurs. Study from Beirut Lebanon showed MGB is a safe and effective operation for revision of failed LAP-BAND®. Study from Taiwan showed Mini-Gastric Bypass resulted in significant and sustained weight loss with successful treatment of Diabetes in 87%. | Study Shows Advantages of Mini-Gastric Bypass Over RNY Bypass | - Mini-Gastric Bypass Surgery Proves Effective Over More Invasive RNY (Click Here to Read the Paper) A recent study showed that the rates of hospitalization after MGB drop dramatically, and the surgery itself is shorter, safer and easier to perform than the RNY.
MGB patients had overall low rates of complications. Dr. Rutledge lead author of the study said "Bariatric surgery although valuable can have major risks and complications. Recent studies have shown complications and hospitalization rates of 20-40% after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The lower risk of complications and re-hospitalization after the Mini-Gastric bypass shows that patients and insurers may have access to a safer and less expensive alternative." So as people continue to look for the quick fix to cut the pounds, the big operation may not result in the biggest results. Sometimes the best rewards come in small - or in this case - "mini" packages. | Get it Free!

Research finds Mini-Gastric Bypass surgery safer over Invasive
surgeries | |
A research study
headed by Dr.Robert Rutledge
published in Elsevier's International Journal of Surgery, has found
that mini gastric bypass is safe over more invasive bypass
surgery-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RNY). These surgeries are
performed on morbidly obese.
Mini-bypass surgery has fewer post operative complications compared
to RNY surgery.
The complications and hospitalization rates for RNY is 20% per
year.
Contrary to this, the Mini-bypass has much lower hospitalization
rates after surgery.
Mini-bypass is less expensive compared to RNY surgery. |
