Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Gallbladder management in bariatric surgery is controversially discussed. While some surgeons advocate routine prophylactic cholecystectomy (CCE) during Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) others advocate CCE only in patients with pathological gallbladder findings. The aim of this study was to evaluate the necessity of prophylactic CCE in patients receiving a laparoscopic RYGB.
