American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery: postoperative care pathway guidelines for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

Clinical care pathways and guidelines help guide and provide structure to clinicians and providers to improve healthcare delivery and quality. The Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (QIPS) Committee of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) has previously published care pathways for the performance of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), preoperative care of patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and most recently, intraoperative care of patients undergoing RYGB.
