Effect of patient-reported smoking status on short-term bariatric surgery outcomes.
The authors of this study sought to explore the relationship between patient-reported smoking status and short-term bariatric surgery outcomes. The investigators found that recent smokers suffer detrimental effects of smoking on serious postoperative complications following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, but may not suffer an elevated risk of complications attributable to smoking for sleeve gastrectomy.
