Abstract (EN): Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are safe procedures that may present sub-optimal results in superobesity (SO). A meta-analysis was performed aiming to summarize the available evidence on weight loss (primary outcome) and comorbidities resolution of LRYGB and LSG in patients with SO (BMI >= 50 kg/m(2)). From the 16 included studies, 7 integrated the meta-analysis. LRYGB showed a significantly higher weight loss at 6 to 12-months, but not after 24 months and a higher dyslipidemia resolution at 12 months. When compared with LSG, LRYGB achieved better weight loss after 6 and 12 months and higher dyslipidemia resolution after 1 year. There were no significant differences for resolution of the other co-morbidities studied.
