Si Y, Lin S, Guan W, Shen J, Liang H. Comparison of Sleeve Gastrectomy with Loop Duodenojejunal Bypass Versus One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass for Type 2 Diabetes: The Role of Pylorus Preservation. Obes Surg 2024; 34:2391-2398. [PMID: 38780835 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07294-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is recognized as a standard procedure in metabolic surgery. However, concerns about postoperative bile reflux and nutritional risks are prevalent. Comparatively, sleeve gastrectomy with loop duodenojejunal bypass (SG + LoopDJB) bypasses an equivalent length of the foregut as OAGB while maintaining pyloric function. The role of pylorus function remains to be further elucidated regarding these metabolic procedures' therapeutic outcomes and side effects. METHOD A retrospective study was conducted in our center to compare the surgical safety and 1-year outcomes of OAGB and SG + LoopDJB regarding type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission, weight loss, gastrointestinal disorders, and nutritional status in T2DM patients matched by gender, age, and BMI. RESULTS The baseline characteristics were comparable between groups. Compared with OAGB, SG + LoopDJB had longer operative time and length of stay (LOS) but similar major postoperative complications. At 1-year follow-up, OAGB has similar diabetes remission (both 91.9%), weight loss effect (28.1 ± 7.1% vs. 30.2 ± 7.0% for %TWL), and lipidemia improvement to SG + LoopDJB (P > 0.05). However, OAGB presented a higher incidence of hypoalbuminemia (11.9% vs. 2.4%, P = 0.026) but a low incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms (9.5% vs. 26.2%, P = 0.046) than SG + LoopDJB. There was no statistical difference regarding other gastrointestinal disorders and nutritional deficiencies between groups. CONCLUSION Both OAGB and SG + LoopDJB show comparable, favorable outcomes in weight loss, T2DM remission, and lipidemia improvement at the 1-year follow-up. Pylorus preservation, while increasing surgical difficulty and the risk of de novo GERD, may reduce the risk of postoperative hypoalbuminemia.

Significant and distinct impacts of sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on esophageal acid exposure, esophageal motility, and endoscopic findings: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Gastrointest Surg 2024:S1091-255X(24)00509-2. [PMID: 38901554 DOI: 10.1016/j.gassur.2024.06.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The lack of standardized objective assessment of esophageal physiology and anatomy contributes to controversies regarding the effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on gastroesophageal reflux disease. This study aimed to investigate esophageal acid exposure, esophageal motility, and endoscopic findings before and after SG and RYGB. METHODS This was a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting at least 1 objective measure of esophageal physiology and/or esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) at baseline and after SG or RYGB. The changes in pH test, manometry, and EGD parameters were summarized. RESULTS Acid exposure time (AET) and DeMeester score (DMS) significantly increased after SG (mean difference [MD]: 2.1 [95% CI, 0.3-3.9] and 8.6 [95% CI, 2.0-15.2], respectively). After RYGB, both AET and DMS significantly decreased (MD: -4.2 [95% CI, -6.1 to -2.3] and -16.6 [95% CI, -25.4 to -7.8], respectively). Lower esophageal sphincter resting pressure and length significantly decreased after SG (MD: -2.8 [95% CI, -4.6 to -1.1] and -0.1 [95% CI, -0.2 to -0.02], respectively). There were no significant changes in esophageal manometry after RYGB. The relative risks of erosive esophagitis were 2.3 (95% CI, 1.5-3.5) after SG and 0.4 (95% CI, 0.2-0.8) after RYGB. The prevalence rates of Barrett esophagus changed from 0% to 3.6% after SG and from 2.7% to 1.4% after RYGB. CONCLUSION SG resulted in the worsening of all objective parameters, whereas RYGB resulted in the improvement in AET, DMS, and EGD findings. Determining the risk factors associated with these outcomes can help in surgical choice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is an issue after one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and modification of OAGB with adding an anti-reflux system may decrease the incidence of postoperative GERD. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the anti-reflux mechanism to treat preoperative GERD and prevent de novo GERD. METHODS A prospective randomized clinical trial study was conducted on patients with a body mass index of 40 and more from August 2020 to February 2022. Patients undergoing one anastomosis gastric bypass with and without anti-reflux sutures (groups A and B, respectively). These patients had follow-ups for one year after the surgery. GERD symptoms were assessed in all the patients using the GERD symptom questionnaire. RESULTS The mean age was 39.5 ± 9.8 years and 40.7 ± 10.2 years in groups A and B respectively. GERD symptoms remission occurred in 76.5% and 68.4% of patients in groups A and B, respectively. The incidence of de novo GERD symptoms was lower in group A, compared to group B (6.2% and 16.1% in groups A and B respectively), without any statistically significant difference (p-value: 0.239). CONCLUSION GERD symptoms and de novo GERD after OAGB seems to be under-reported after OAGB. This study suggests that applying an anti-reflux suture can decrease de novo GERD symptoms.

Langenbecks Arch Surg 2024; 409:128. [PMID: 38627302 PMCID: PMC11021266 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-024-03306-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) is the most performed bariatric surgery, but a considerable number of patients may require revisional procedures for suboptimal clinical response/recurrence of weight (SCR/RoW). Conversion options include One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) and Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass (SADI). The study aims to compare SADI vs. OAGB as revisional procedures in terms of early and mid-term complications, operative time, postoperative hospital stay and clinical outcomes. METHODS All patients who underwent OAGB or SADI as revisional procedures following SG for SCR/RoW at three high-volume bariatric centers between January 2014 and April 2021 were included. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed. Demographic, operative, and postoperative outcomes of the two groups were compared. RESULTS One hundred and sixty-eight patients were identified. After PSM, the two groups included 42 OAGB and 42 SADI patients. Early (≤ 30 days) postoperative complications rate did not differ significantly between OAGB and SADI groups (3 bleedings vs. 0, p = 0.241). Mid-term (within 2 years) complications rate was significantly higher in the OAGB group (21.4% vs. 2.4%, p = 0.007), mainly anastomotic complications and reflux disease (12% of OAGBs). Seven OAGB patients required conversion to another procedure (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass-RYGB) vs. none among the SADI patients (p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS SADI and OAGB are both effective as revisional procedures for SCR/RoW after SG. OAGB is associated with a significantly higher rate of mid-term complications and a not negligible rate of conversion (RYGB). Larger studies are necessary to draw definitive conclusions.

Abstract
This study aims to compare different types of metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) with lifestyle intervention/medical therapy (LSI/MT) for the treatment of overweight/obesity. The present and network meta-analysis (NMA) includes randomized trials. MBS was associated with a reduction of BMI, body weight, and percent weight loss, when compared to LSI/MT, and also with a significant reduction of HbA1c and a higher remission of diabetes. Meta-regression analyses revealed that BMI, a higher proportion of women, and a longer duration of trial were associated with greater effects of MBS. The NMA showed that all surgical procedures included (except greater curvature plication) were associated with a reduction of BMI. MBS is an effective option for the treatment of obesity. The choice of BMI thresholds for eligibility for surgery of patients with different complications should be performed making an evaluation of risks and benefits in each BMI category.

Comparison of single-anastomosis gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy on type 2 diabetes mellitus remission for obese patients: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Asian J Surg 2023; 46:4152-4160. [PMID: 37002039 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2023.03.062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Currently, the increasing numbers of one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) brought this technique in the third position in order of frequency, behind sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). However, OAGB is still considered lack of evidence in reducing obesity- related comorbidities. Our study aimed to compare the efficacy for SG and OAGB improving type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission and weight loss in obese patients. PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing OAGB and SG. Review Manager 5.4.1 was used to analyze the data, and the right effect model was chosen based on heterogeneity. Five randomized controlled trials were included in the study. The remission of T2DM in the OAGB group was more efficient at 1 year and 5 years. Meanwhile, the OAGB group has a greater improvement than the SG group in terms of hypertension (HTN) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG). Although the percentage of excess BMI loss (%EBMIL) between the OAGB and SG groups was not significant at 6 months, the OAGB group had a conspicuous %EBMIL at 1 year. And 5 years after surgery, a higher percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) was found in the OAGB group. Besides, the OAGB group showed a lower body mass index (BMI) at 5 years than the SG group, but the BMI at 6 months and 1 year were not significant. Finally, at 6 months, the OAGB group exhibited a more remarkable percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) than the SG group. In general, OAGB exhibited a better therapeutic effect in T2DM, HTN, and weight loss than SG in the medium-term follow-up period. To assess the long-term efficacy, clinics should be encouraged to continue longer-term follow-up studies and possibly RCTs.

Patients undergoing OAGB and LSG at our institution between November 2018 and November 2021 have been prospectively asked to report postoperative nausea and pain on a numeric analogic scale. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed to collect scores of these symptoms at the 6th and 12th postoperative hour. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to evaluate effect of type of surgery on postoperative nausea and pain scores. To adjust for baseline differences between cohorts, a propensity score algorithm was used to match LSG patients to MGB/OAGB patients in a 1:1 ratio with a 0.1 tolerance. A total number of 228 (119 SGs and 109 OAGBs) subjects were included in our study. Nausea after OAGB was significantly less severe than after LSG both at the 6th and 12th hour assessment; pain was less strong after OAGB at the 6th hour but not after 12 h. Fifty-three individuals had a rescue administration of metoclopramide after LSG and 34 after OAGB (44.5% vs 31.2%, p = 0.04); additional painkillers were required by 41 patients after LSG and 23 after OAGB (34.5% vs 21.1%, p = 0.04). Early postoperative nausea was significantly less severe after OAGB, while pain was comparable especially at the 12th hour.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS After sleeve gastrectomy, heartburn sensation and regurgitation are frequent postoperative consequences. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of heartburn sensation and regurgitation symptoms among patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy, as well as the relationship between demographic variables and the presence and severity of these symptoms. METHODOLOGY This cross-sectional study included 290 patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy in the Al-Qassim region, Saudi Arabia. Patients were asked to complete a questionnaire that assessed the presence and severity of heartburn and regurgitation symptoms. Demographic data, including age, gender, smoking status, and the date of bariatric surgery, were also collected. RESULTS The results showed that heartburn and regurgitation were common symptoms among patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy, with 78% and 73.9% of patients reporting these symptoms, respectively. 11.5% of patients who experienced severe symptoms of regurgitation, and 6.4% of patients with severe heartburn reported serious symptoms that affected their lives by causing an inability to perform daily activities. Age and the date of bariatric surgery were significant factors associated with heartburn and regurgitation symptoms. Patients aged 25-35 years reported the highest prevalence of heartburn symptoms, and the more recent surgery; dated less than one year ago had the highest prevalence of heartburn symptoms. CONCLUSION Patients who have sleeve gastrectomy frequently experience heartburn and regurgitation, which can have a substantial influence on their quality of life. Routine evaluation and treatment of heartburn and regurgitation symptoms should be an integral component of postoperative care. Younger patients and those who undergo surgery in the early postoperative period may be at a greater risk for developing heartburn and regurgitation symptoms, necessitating more active measures to treat these symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux disease seems more frequent after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) than Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Retrospective case series have raised concerns about a high incidence of Barrett esophagus (BE) after LSG. OBJECTIVE This prospective clinical cohort study compared the incidence of BE ≥5 years after LSG and LRYGB. SETTING St. Clara Hospital, Basel, and University Hospital, Zürich, Switzerland. METHODS Patients were recruited from 2 bariatric centers where preoperative gastroscopy is standard practice and LRYGB is preferred for patients with preexisting gastroesophageal reflux disease. At follow-up ≥5 years after surgery, patients underwent gastroscopy with quadrantic biopsies from the squamocolumnar junction and metaplastic segment. Symptoms were assessed using validated questionnaires. Wireless pH measurement assessed esophageal acid exposure. RESULTS A total of 169 patients were included, with a median 7.0 ± 1.5 years after surgery. In the LSG group (n = 83), 3 patients had endoscopically and histologically confirmed de novo BE; in the LRYGB group (n = 86), there were 2 patients with BE, 1 de novo and 1 preexisting (de novo BE, 3.6% versus 1.2%; P = .362). At follow-up, reflux symptoms were reported more frequently by the LSG group than by the LRYGB group (51.9% versus 10.5%). Similarly, moderate-to-severe reflux esophagitis (Los Angeles grade B-D) was more common (27.7% versus 5.8%) despite greater use of proton pump inhibitors (49.4% versus 19.7%), and pathologic acid exposure was more frequent in patients who underwent LSG than in patients who underwent LRYGB. CONCLUSIONS After at least 5 years of follow-up, a higher incidence of reflux symptoms, reflux esophagitis, and pathologic esophageal acid exposure was found in patients who underwent LSG compared with patients who underwent LRYGB. However, the incidence of BE after LSG was low and not significantly different between the 2 groups.

Abstract
Bariatric surgeries are often complicated by de-novo gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or worsening of pre-existing GERD. The growing rates of obesity and bariatric surgeries worldwide are paralleled by an increase in the number of patients requiring post-surgical GERD evaluation. However, there is currently no standardized approach for the assessment of GERD in these patients. In this review, we delineate the relationship between GERD and the most common bariatric surgeries: sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), with a focus on pathophysiology, objective assessment, and underlying anatomical and motility disturbances. We suggest a stepwise algorithm to help diagnose GERD after SG and RYGB, determine the underlying cause, and guide the management and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are regarded as high-level evidence, but the strength of their P values can be difficult to ascertain. The Fragility Index (FI) is a novel metric that evaluates the frailty of trial findings. It is defined as the minimum number of patients required to change from a non-event to event for the findings to lose statistical significance. This study aims to characterize the robustness of bariatric surgery RCTs by examining their FIs. METHODS A search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL from January 2000 to February 2022 for RCTs comparing two bariatric surgeries with statistically significant dichotomous outcomes. Bivariate correlation was conducted to identify associations between FI and trial characteristics. RESULTS A total of 35 RCTs were included with a median sample size of 80 patients (Interquartile range [IQR] 58-109). The median FI was 2 (IQR 0-5), indicating that altering the status of two patients in one treatment arm would overturn the statistical significance of results. Subgroup analyses of RCTs evaluating diabetes-related outcomes produced a FI of 4 (IQR 2-6.5), while RCTs comparing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy had an FI of 2 (IQR 0.5-5). Increasing FI was found to be correlated with decreasing P value, increasing sample size, increasing number of events, and increasing journal impact factor. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery RCTs are fragile, with only a few patients required to change from non-events to events to reverse the statistical significance of most trials. Future research should examine the use of FI in trial design.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One of the most severe side effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the development or aggravation of reflux disease. This study investigates the effect of SG on the development of reflux disease and the variables that may impact this development. In addition, trends in revision surgery, weight, and comorbidity are examined among patients with reflux disease and SG and those without reflux disease and SG. This study includes 3379 individuals without reflux disease who had primary SG and were followed for three years. The demographic characteristics, comorbidities, technical features, and complications of SG were analyzed. Data were collected by the German Bariatric Surgery Registry (GBSR). 860 (25.45%) Group A patients had reflux disease following SG (Group B: no reflux after SG; 74.55%). Patients with reflux disease had longer operating times (83.8 min vs. 77.5 min, p < 0.001) and longer postoperative hospital admissions (6 days vs. 5.5 days). In group A, the %EWL was substantially greater than in group B (64.1 vs. 61.1%). 42 patients were converted from SG to RYGB (4.88%), 2 had hiatoplasty, and 5 got Endostim. There is no significant variation in perioperative complications (p value > 0.05). The incidence of complete remission of sleep apnea was higher in group A than in group B (p = 0.013; 50% vs. 44.8%). Other comorbidities were not substantially different. Reflux illness after SG is still poorly understood, despite much research. Technical and preoperative variables may promote its development. However, these assumptions remain theoretical and are not confirmed by scientific data. The majority of patients may be successfully treated using non-invasive methods, although sometimes further surgery is necessary. Despite our results and the literature, this subject is intriguing for further research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Micronutrient deficiencies represent a common condition after bariatric surgery (BS). The prevalence of these nutritional disorders before BS is still debated. The aim of our study was to retrospectively evaluate the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies in candidates for BS. METHODS A prospectively maintained database of our institution was searched to find all patients who underwent surgery between January and December 2021. The following data were collected: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), obesity-associated diseases, and preoperative serum levels of vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin D. RESULTS A total of 174 patients were included in our study. Mean age and BMI were 39.2 ± 11.4 years and 44.3 ± 7.1 kg/m2, respectively. One hundred and thirty-nine patients (79.9%) had at least one preoperative micronutrient disorder, with vitamin D deficiency being the most common (116, 66.7%), followed by a deficit of folate (76, 43.7%) and vitamin B12 (10, 5.7%). Forty-seven (27%) individuals had insufficient levels of vitamin D. Comparison of deficiencies between sexes showed that vitamin B12 < 20 ng/ml was significantly more frequent in women (p = 0.03). DLP showed a mild significant effect on folate levels (p = 0.01), while the association of HNT and T2DM had a mild significant effect on vitamin B12 (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative micronutrient deficiencies were frequently found in candidates for BS. Approximately 90% of patients had deficient or insufficient serum levels of vitamin D preoperatively. Almost half of the patients had a preoperative deficit of folate, and vitamin B12 deficiency was significantly more frequent in the female population. It is mandatory to screen all patients undergoing BS for vitamin deficiencies before surgery.

Abstract
Very little has been published on the learning curve (LC) of the One Anastomosis /Mini Gastric Bypass (OAGB/MGB). Aim of this study was to compare perioperative outcomes of OABG/MGBs performed during the LC of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon to global benchmark cut-offs. First 200 patients undergoing OAGB/MGB at our university hospital from 2010 to 2016 were retrospectively included in this study. LC of the surgeon was divided in two groups of 100 consecutive patients each and perioperative outcomes were compared to abovementioned global benchmarks for LSG and RYGB. A cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis was performed for operative time and hospital stay. Uneventful postoperative recovery was recorded in 95% of patients. All benchmark values for RYGB were met in group 2. Comparison with cut-offs for LSG showed longer hospital stay and operative time in both groups but postoperative rate of complications resulted lower even for Group 1. CUSUM graph of the operative time runs randomly above the predetermined limit till the 40th cases but reaches the plateau after the 115th operation. CUSUM curve of the hospital stay reaches the plateau after the 57th case. OAGB/MGB confirms to be a feasible procedure, which can be safely and effectively performed during the learning curve. However, at least 100 hundred cases are required to reduce operative time and hospital stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has become increasingly accepted in bariatric surgery and meanwhile represents the third most common procedure worldwide. While it shows promising weight loss results and comorbidity resolution, questions about issues such as reflux or nutritional deficiencies (ND) persist in the long term. On the other hand, the most frequently performed sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has to accept growing criticism regarding long-term results and reflux issues. There is a particular lack of long-term comparative data for both procedures. This study presents our long-term experience. METHODS We evaluated OAGB and SG patients retrospectively comparing for weight loss and resolution of comorbidities as well as perioperative and long-term complications in a follow-up period of 5 years. RESULTS Nine hundred eleven OAGB and 241 SG were included in the study. OAGB had a shorter operation time and hospital stay. Overall complication rate did not differ in both groups. Ulcers were more frequent in OAGB (7.7% vs. 1.7%, p = 0.001), whereas insufficient weight loss (IWL)/weight regain (WR) proved to be more prevalent in SG (25.7% vs. 6.4%, p < 0.001). The same held true for reflux (17.8% vs. 8.3%, p < .001). On the other hand, ND were more common in OAGB (20.0% vs. 12.0%, p = 0.005). Revisional surgery was more often indicated after SG. Analysis by linear mixed model showed that OAGB achieved a lower BMI/higher loss of BMI. Improvement of T2DM (94.6% vs. 85.2%, p = 0.008) and sleep apnea (88.8% vs. 78.8%, p = 0.01) was superior in OAGB. CONCLUSIONS OAGB had a superior effect on weight loss as well as improvement of T2DM and sleep apnea. Furthermore, long-term problems such as IWL/WR and reflux were more related to SG. On the other hand, a malabsorptive procedure such as OAGB showed a higher risk for ND. Our findings support the available data in the literature.

Abstract
Background: Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is the most effective treatment for severe obesity. Vitamin D deficiency is a common complication encountered both during preoperative workup and follow-up. Aim: To estimate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients undergoing MBS. Methods: Prospectively maintained database of our university MBS center was searched to assess the rate of preoperative and postoperative vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency in patients undergoing MBS over a one-year period. Results: In total, 184 patients were included, 85 cases of Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG), 99 Gastric Bypass (GB; 91 One Anastomosis and 8 Roux-en-Y). Preoperative vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were respectively found in 61% and 29% of patients, with no significant difference between SG and GB. After six months, 15% of patients had vitamin D deficiency, and 34% had vitamin D insufficiency. There was no significant difference in the rate of vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency and the percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) at 1, 3, and 6 postoperative months between SG and GB. Conclusions: Preoperative vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is common in MBS candidates. Regular follow-up with correct supplementation is recommended when undergoing MBS. Early postoperative values of vitamin D were comparable between SG and OAGB.

Abstract
Purpose Excellent metabolic improvement following one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) remains compromised by the risk of esophageal bile reflux and theoretical carcinogenic potential. No ‘gold standard’ investigation exists for esophageal bile reflux, with diverse methods employed in the few studies evaluating it post-obesity surgery. As such, data on the incidence and severity of esophageal bile reflux is limited, with comparative studies lacking. This study aims to use specifically tailored biliary scintigraphy and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy protocols to evaluate esophageal bile reflux after OAGB, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Methods Fifty-eight participants underwent OAGB (20), SG (15) or RYGB (23) between November 2018 and July 2020. Pre-operative reflux symptom assessment and gastroscopy were performed and repeated post-operatively at 6 months along with biliary scintigraphy. Results Gastric reflux of bile was identified by biliary scintigraphy in 14 OAGB (70%), one RYGB (5%) and four SG participants (31%), with a mean of 2.9% (SD 1.5) reflux (% of total radioactivity). One participant (OAGB) demonstrated esophageal bile reflux. De novo macro- or microscopic gastroesophagitis occurred in 11 OAGB (58%), 8 SG (57%) and 7 RYGB (30%) participants. Thirteen participants had worsened reflux symptoms post-operatively (OAGB, 4; SG, 7; RYGB, 2). Scintigraphic esophageal bile reflux bore no statistical association with de novo gastroesophagitis or reflux symptoms. Conclusion Despite high incidence of gastric bile reflux post-OAGB, esophageal bile reflux is rare. With scarce literature of tumour development post-OAGB, frequent low-volume gastric bile reflux likely bears little clinical consequence; however, longer-term studies are needed.

Abstract
Background and study aims Obesity represents a major health concern; bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment reducing and maintaining weight loss. The role of a routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) prior bariatric surgery is still debated. Moreover, in this scenario of COVID-19 pandemic, EGD is even more questionable due to the procedural risk of viral transmission. A new model of video-endoscopic capsule (VEC) recently has been introduced as a good alternative to the EGD. The aim of this study was to determine if this new capsule is an adequate diagnostic alternative to EGD in the work-up of patients selected for bariatric surgery, particularly in the setting of COVID-19. Patients and methods From January to November 2020, 27 patients selected for bariatric surgery were enrolled in this pilot study to assess for noninferiority of VEC compared to EGD in detection of upper gastrointestinal disease. Results VEC had sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values in identification of significant lesions of 91.3 %, 83.33 %, 98.01 %, and 51.57 %, respectively, compared with EGD as the standard criterion. The accuracy was 90.51 % (95 % CI, 73.75 %-98.18 %) and the chi-square statistic is 0.1153 ( P = 0.73). Conclusions Our report confirms the diagnostic noninferiority of VEC in preoperative work-up of patients selected for bariatric surgery, compared to EGD. This is very important, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, given the high risk of contamination with EGD. Larger multicenter studies are required to confirm our preliminary results.

Abstract
Background Bariatric surgery in patients with BMI over 50 kg/m2 is a challenging task. The aim of this study was to address main issues regarding perioperative management of these patients by using a worldwide survey. Methods An online 48-item questionnaire-based survey on perioperative management of patients with a BMI superior to 50 kg/m2 was ideated by 15 bariatric surgeons from 9 different countries. The questionnaire was emailed to all members of the International Federation of Surgery for Obesity (IFSO). Responses were collected and analyzed by the authors. Results 789 bariatric surgeons from 73 countries participated in the survey. Most surgeons (89.9%) believed that metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS) on patients with BMI over 50 kg/m2 should only be performed by expert bariatric surgeons. Half of the participants (55.3%) believed that weight loss must be encouraged before surgery and 42.6% of surgeons recommended an excess weight loss of at least 10%. However, only 3.6% of surgeons recommended the insertion of an Intragastric Balloon as bridge therapy before surgery. Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) was considered the best choice for patients younger than 18 or older than 65 years old. SG and One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass were the most common procedures for individuals between 18 and 65 years. Half of the surgeons believed that a 2-stage approach should be offered to patients with BMI > 50 kg/m2, with SG being the first step. Postoperative thromboprophylaxis was recommended for 2 and 4 weeks by 37.8% and 37.7% of participants, respectively. Conclusion This survey demonstrated worldwide variations in bariatric surgery practice regarding patients with a BMI superior to 50 kg/m2. Careful analysis of these results is useful for identifying several areas for future research and consensus building.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Efficacy and safety of OAGB/MGB (one anastomosis/mini gastric bypass) have been well documented both as primary and as revisional procedures. However, even after OAGB/MGB, revisional surgery is unavoidable in patients with surgical complications or insufficient weight loss. METHODS A questionnaire asking for the total number and demographics of primary and revisional OAGB/MGBs performed between January 2006 and July 2020 was e-mailed to all S.I.C. OB centres of excellence (annual caseload > 100; 5-year follow-up > 50%). Each bariatric centre was asked to provide gender, age, preoperative body mass index (BMI) and obesity-related comorbidities, previous history of abdominal or bariatric surgery, indication for surgical revision of OAGB/MGB, type of revisional procedure, pre- and post-revisional BMI, peri- and post-operative complications, last follow-up (FU). RESULTS Twenty-three bariatric centres (54.8%) responded to our survey reporting a total number of 8676 primary OAGB/MGBS and a follow-up of 62.42 ± 52.22 months. A total of 181 (2.08%) patients underwent revisional surgery: 82 (0.94%) were suffering from intractable DGER (duodeno-gastric-esophageal reflux), 42 (0.48%) were reoperated for weight regain, 16 (0.18%) had excessive weight loss and malnutrition, 12 (0.13%) had a marginal ulcer perforation, 10 (0.11%) had a gastro-gastric fistula, 20 (0.23%) had other causes of revision. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) was the most performed revisional procedure (109; 54%), followed by bilio-pancreatic limb elongation (19; 9.4%) and normal anatomy restoration (19; 9.4%). CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that there is acceptable revisional rate after OAGB/MGB and conversion to RYGB represents the most frequent choice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with obesity having GERD usually undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) as the procedure of choice. However, the emergence of one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) as a less time-consuming operation with fewer complications offers a potential option for these patients. STUDY DESIGN This randomized controlled trial included 80 patients (out of 457 screened) with mild-to-moderate GERD that were equally divided into two groups for OAGB and RYGB. GERD was diagnosed by 20-item questionnaire, upper endoscopy, 24-h pH monitoring, and manometry. Follow-up at 6 and 12 months was done. RESULTS No significant differences were found between the two groups regarding demographic data, comorbidities, and weight loss. OAGB had less operative time and fewer complications. Both procedures had comparable favorable effects in reducing the GERD symptoms evidenced by upper endoscopy, 24-h pH monitoring, and manometry. CONCLUSION OAGB is a promising bariatric procedure in weight loss for patients with obesity having mild-to-moderate GERD (up to grade B esophagitis by Los Angeles score). Furthermore, wide-scale studies and on more severe degrees of GERD are required to fully understand its benefits in GERD patients with obesity.
