title: [Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the surgical approach, feasibility and effectiveness of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) surgery for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus.
  
  
  METHODS
  Seven obese patients with type 2 diabetes and 5 type 2 diabetic patients without obesity received LRYGB surgery. The changes of the body mass, fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2 h PBG), C peptide (C-P) and HbA1c% were observed postoperatively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  LRYGB procedures were successfully performed in all the 12 patients with no conversion to open surgery. The resolution rate was 85.7% in the obese group and 80% in the non-obese diabetic group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  LRYGB surgery is feasible for treatment of type 2 diabetes with good short-term result, but the long-term outcome awaits further observation.
