The University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) clinical database recently added a specific procedural code for laparoscopic gastric bypass. The goal of this study was to compare the use and outcomes of laparoscopic versus open gastric bypass at academic centers. Using ICD-9 diagnosis and procedure ...
Prospectively derived administrative cost data of patients who were coded with a primary diagnosis of obesity (ICD-10 code E.66.X), a procedure of gastric bypass surgery (CHOP code 44.3), and a robotic identifier (CHOP codes 00.90.50 or 00.39) during the years 2012 to 2015 was analyzed an...
This is consistent with previous studies that reported gallstone formation was more likely in patients who received total rather than subtotal gastrectomy and those with gastrointestinal reconstruction that bypass the duodenum (i.e., Roux-en-Y, Billroth II) rather than anastomosing the residual ...
Case Definition We identified cases of RYGB by selecting all records with diagnosis related group equal to 288 (operating room procedure for obesity) and procedure identifiable as being for gastric bypass—ICD-9-CM codes 44.31 and 44.39. Unique codes for laparoscopic RYGB do not exist and alternat...
Of the patients who had a reoperation, 19.1% underwent a subsequent different bariatric operation, including gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Geographic variation was observed in the rates of gastric band–related reoperation. The rates of reoperation across hospital referral regions ranged from ...
