In contrast to current other techniques of bariatric surgery for patients having previously undergone a Nissen fundoplication, the "hug" procedure to create an RYGB is safe and simple to perform. This technique avoids the deconstruction of the previous repair and is still maintaining anti-reflux anatomy. Nevertheless, there is a need for further studies to evaluate the long-term outcomes of the procedure.
