METHODS:
This is a retrospective study examining the length of stay in patients who underwent a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and a laparoscopic Roux-En-Y gastric bypass (RNY) between July 2015 and February 2018 by a single surgeon.
The significance of four factors were assessed: BMI, ASA grade, a diagnosis of diabetes and the day of the week the operation occurred.
