The Roux-en-Y (RNY) gastric bypass surgery, which is currently the most common type of gastric bypass surgery, was first performed in 1967 through open surgery, and uses a Y configuration in rerouting the intestines. The first laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was performed in 1993.
The first successful gastrectomy was performed by Theodor Billroth in 1881 for cancer of the stomach. Historically, gastrectomies were used to treat peptic ulcers. These are now usually treated with antibiotics, as it was recognized that they are usually due to Helicobacter pylori. In the past a gastrectomy for peptic ulcer disease was often accompanied by a vagotomy, to reduce acid production. This problem is now managed with proton pump inhibitors. See also.
