Analyzing the impact of surgical technique on intraoperative adverse events in laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery by video-based assessment.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDespite high-level evidence that variations of surgical technique in laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) are correlated with postoperative outcomes and might be linked to intraoperative adverse events (iAEs), there are a paucity of studies analyzing iAEs in depth. The impact of surgical technique on the temporal occurrence of iAEs regarding phases and steps of LRYGB has not been studied so far. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of variance in surgical technique on temporal occurrence, frequency, and type of iAEs in a multicentric dataset of LRYGB videos.
methodsMultiBypass140, a video dataset containing 70 LRYGB surgeries each from Strasbourg University Hospital (StrasBypass70) and Bern University Hospital (BernBypass70) was annotated with surgical phases, iAE type, and grade. The cumulative severity of iAEs per procedure was measured using the SEVERE score and correlated with procedure duration.
resultsSurgical technique significantly differed between StrasBypass70 and BernBypass70 (omentum division: 94% vs. 36%, p < 0.01; closure of mesenteric defects: 100% vs. 21%, p < 0.01). In MultiBypass140, a total of 797 iAEs were analyzed. The most iAE-prone phases were gastric pouch creation, gastrojejunal, and jejunojejunal anastomosis creation containing 77% (616/797) of all iAEs. StrasBypass70 showed significantly more iAEs in the omentum division (23 vs. 5, p < 0.01), Petersen space closure (13 vs. 1, p < 0.01), and mesenteric defect closure phases (34 vs. 1, p < 0.01) compared to BernBypass70. In both centers, SEVERE score was correlated with procedure duration. In BernBypass70, insufficient closure of anastomosis was significantly more frequent in patients with postoperative complications (0.2 ± 0.6 vs. 0.0 ± 0.1, p < 0.01).
conclusionVariations of the LRYGB technique between centers influence the temporal occurrence and frequency of iAEs. The frequency and severity of iAEs are correlated with procedure duration.
