Experienced gastric bypass surgeons safer 4.18.04

Blood loss, operating time, and length of hospital stay all improved. Average operating time fell from 212 minutes for the first 100 cases to 163 minutes for the next 100 cases. That's important for safety because less time under anesthesia lowers the chance of complications during and after surgery. By the last 100 surgeries, operating time had fallen to 105 minutes."
