    One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is an effective and safe metabolic and bariatric surgery for adolescents with obesity.

    The study included 91 adolescents and assessed changes in anthropometric, nutritional, metabolic outcomes, and obesity-related conditions over four years.

  • 3

    Previous studies on OAGB in adolescents had limitations, including small sample sizes and a narrow focus on anthropometric outcomes.

  • 4

    The current study aims to fill knowledge gaps by providing comprehensive data on OAGB's long-term effects in a larger adolescent cohort.

    Findings from this study will support surgeons in making informed decisions regarding OAGB for adolescents facing severe obesity.
