BP Limb Length of 60cm vs 100cm in Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Phase 3

• Conditions: Osteopenia

• Registration Number: NCT04377230
• Lead Sponsor: Hospital General Universitario Elche

Brief Summary

Patients will be randomized into 2 groups:

* Group 60: Patients will undergo a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a Biliopancreatic limb length of 60cm

* Group 100: Patients will undergo a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a Biliopancreatic limb length of 100cm

Bone mineral density will be evaluated before surgery and 2 years after it.

Detailed Description

Patients will be randomized into 2 groups:

* Group 60: Patients will undergo a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a Biliopancreatic limb length of 60cm

* Group 100: Patients will undergo a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a Biliopancreatic limb length of 100cm Alimentary limb will be constant in both groups (150cm length)

Bone mineral density will be evaluated before surgery and 2 years after it, by means of X ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Changes in bone mineral density in lumbar column will be assessed.
