Ring-Augmented Versus Non-Ring Augmented Sleeve Gastrectomy in Patients with BMI > 50 kg/m²: 3-Year Follow-up of a Randomized Controlled Trial
Ra-SG enhanced weight-loss durability and lowered RWG compared to SG, with similar safety and GERD outcomes but decreased food tolerance at mid-term. Ra-SG may be considered in patients at higher risk of RWG, though multicenter studies with longer follow-up are needed to confirm these findings.
