The renal collecting system was sutured to avoid occurrence of postoperative urinary fistula, using V-Loc 3-0 (V-Loc wound closure device, Covidien, Mansfield, MA) absorbable barbed suture. Thereafter, the skirted continuous suture technique was used to perform whole-layer suture of the margin of the renal parenchyma with V-Loc 2-0 absorbable barbed suture as follows (Figure 1C ). Before taking the first stitch, the suture was fixed with a Hem-o-lock clip (Teleflex, Research Triangle Park, NC) on its thread, and then the first stitch went through the renal parenchyma on the whole layer, and the margin of renal parenchyma was sutured with a continuous circular lockstitch as shown in the schematic illustration. The final stitch was also locked by a Hem-o-lock clip. After suturing, the kidney was re-perfused (Figure 1D ).

All procedures were performed laparoscopically. Five ports were used both in SG and RYGB; two 12-mm ports were located in the right and left hypochondria, two 11-mm ports were located in the epigastrium and subxiphoideal region, and one 5-mm port was located in the left flank. In SG, a longitudinal resection from the angle of His to approximately 3 to 5 cm orally to the pylorus was performed using a 36-Fr bougie inserted along the lesser curvature. A staple line reinforcement was performed with a continuous oversewing absorbable barbed suture (V-loc 3/0, Covidien, Minneapolis, MN, USA) before extracting the bougie.
RYGB was performed with a 6-cm-long gastric pouch, calibrated with a 36-Fr bougie. Gastrojejunal anastomosis was also calibrated between 2 and 3 cm. The length of the alimentary limb was 150 cm, and the length of the biliopancreatic limb was 60 cm. The jejuno-jejunal anastomosis was calibrated at 6 cm.
Before hospital discharge, both groups of patients received identical postoperative counseling, and multivitamin supplementation (Multicentrum, GSK, Philadelphia, PA, USA, 2 tablets/day) and diet. This multivitamin supplementation included calcium and vitamin D. Patients were encouraged to play sports or to do outdoor activities in all seasons.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
