Abstract
Conclusions This nationwide analysis of academic medical centers between 2004 and 2006 showed that bariatric surgery has shifted to a predominately laparoscopic approach. In addition, laparoscopic gastric bypass is as safe as open gastric bypass and is considerably associated with a lower 30-day morbidity.Keywords
