Abstract
BACKGROUND The performance of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) in patients with prior laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) has not been characterized. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective propensity score-matched study of ESG after LAGB at 2 centers with expertise in bariatric endoscopy. The primary outcome was total weight loss (TWL) at 12 months. Secondary outcomes included TWL at 3 and 6 months, 12-month excess weight loss (EWL), procedural characteristics, predictors of TWL, and serious adverse events. RESULTS Twenty-six adults (88.5% female, age 50.8 y, BMI 36.5 kg/m 2 ) with prior LAGB (median duration 8 y) underwent ESG at a median of 3 years after LAGB removal. A 2:1 age-matched, sex-matched, and BMI-matched comparator group was created, comprising ESG patients from the same organization and time frame but without prior LAGB. TWL for the LAGB-to-ESG cohort versus the ESG-only cohort was 10.1±5.5% versus 13.0±4.4% at 3 months ( P =0.0256), 12.4±7.2% versus 16.0±5.4% at 6 months ( P =0.0375), and 12.7±8.2% versus 18.4±6.5% at 12 months ( P =0.0149). At 12 months, the LAGB-to-ESG cohort had an EWL of 52.5±50.0%, and 75% achieved TWL ≥10%. There was no association between TWL at 3, 6, or 12 months and the following traits: age or BMI at the time of ESG, patient sex, and time from LAGB removal to ESG. No serious adverse events occurred in either cohort. CONCLUSION ESG after LAGB facilitates safe and clinically meaningful weight loss but is attenuated compared to primary ESG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Revision surgeries in patients with failed gastric banding including band removal are increasingly necessary. However, long-term outcomes after band removal alone are unsatisfactory due to weight regain and limited improvement in quality of life. This study aimed to report mid-term quality of life outcomes after gastric band removal and single-stage conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. METHODS Data of 108 patients who underwent conversion surgery from 2011 to 2017 were extracted from a prospective database and retrospectively analyzed. During follow-up visits, physical and laboratory data as well as quality of life questionnaires were obtained. RESULTS Postoperative mean Moorehead score increased significantly after 1 year (1.62 ± 0.86, p < 0.001) and after 5 years (1.55 ± 0.84, p < 0.001) compared to baseline values (0.72 ± 1.1). The mean follow-up time was 53 months. Moorehead scores at 1, 2, and 5 years postoperative were available in 75% (n = 81), 71% (n = 77), and 42% (n = 45) of cases, respectively. Mixed ANOVA analysis showed a significantly superior increase in Moorehead score in males (p = 0.024). No other significant predictors were identified. Lasting BMI reduction (- 4.6 to 33.0 ± 6.7 kg/m2, p < 0.001) and weight loss (- 12.9% (- 13.6 kg), p < 0.001) 5 years after conversion surgery were seen. Postoperative complications occurred in 35% (n = 38) of patients with a re-operation rate of 30.5% (n = 33). CONCLUSION The current study shows that band removal with single-stage gastric bypass in patients with failed gastric banding leads to a lasting improvement in quality of life and may be the rescue procedure of choice in this setting.

Abstract
Background With the rising number of bariatric surgeries performed annually, there has also been an increase in revisional bariatric surgeries (RBS). The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and postoperative outcomes of RBS performed with a minimally invasive approach. Methods Retrospective analysis on a prospectively collected database of patients who underwent minimally invasive RBS between 2012 and 2019. Primary endpoints were conversion rate, major morbidity, mortality, and 30-day reoperation rate. Comparative analysis of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) conversion to sleeve gastrectomy (SG) vs. conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) was performed. Results A total of 221 patients underwent minimally invasive RBS, 137 (62%) laparoscopically and 84 (38%) robotically. The most common RBS were LAGB to SG (59.3%) and LAGB to RYGB conversions (16.7%). The main indication was weight loss failure (88.7%). Conversion rate, major morbidity, and mortality were 0.9, 3.2, and 0.4%, respectively. Urgent reoperation was required in 3.2% of cases. Total weight loss at 1 and 2-years follow- were 14.3 and 17.3%, respectively. Comparative analysis of LAGB conversion to SG vs. RYGB showed similar major morbidity (SG: 2.3% vs. RYGB 0%, p = 1). Greater total weight loss was achieved in LAGB to RYGB conversions at 1-year (SG: 14.8% vs. RYGB 25.3%, p < 0.001). Conclusions Minimally invasive RBS can be performed safely in a broad patient population with low conversion and complication rates, and improved weight loss outcomes. LAGB to RYGB conversions are associated with greater weight loss. Further randomized trials are needed to draw more conclusive recommendations.

Revisional One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass with a 150-cm Biliopancreatic Limb After Failure of Adjustable Gastric Banding: Mid-Term Outcomes and Comparison Between One- and Two-Stage Approaches. Obes Surg 2021; 31:5330-5341. [PMID: 34609712 PMCID: PMC8595146 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-021-05728-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Revised: 09/08/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) was a common procedure worldwide but associated with a high rate of long-term failure. This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of conversion to one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) after failed LAGB. MATERIALS AND METHODS We undertook a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database in a tertiary referral center for bariatric surgery. All cases of revisional OAGB with a biliopancreatic limb (BPL) of 150 cm after failed LAGB performed between 2010 and 2016 were analyzed. RESULTS Overall, 215 patients underwent conversion from LAGB to OAGB. Indication for surgery was primary weight loss (WL) failure in 30.7% of cases and long-term complications in the remaining patients, with or without associated weight regain. At the time of OAGB, the mean age was 43.2 ± 10.5 years and the mean BMI was 42 ± 6.9. Overall postoperative morbidity was 13.5%. The postoperative abscess ± leak rate was 5.9% in the overall population. Two years after OAGB, 9.7% of patients were lost to follow-up, % excess weight loss (EWL) was 88.2 ± 23.9, and % total weight loss (TWL) was 38.7 ± 9.3. At 5 years, 16.6% of patients were lost to follow-up, %EWL was 82.4 ± 25, and %TWL was 36.1 ± 10. There was no statistical difference in complication rates or WL results between the one-stage and two-stage approaches. CONCLUSION OAGB with a 150-cm BPL represents a safe and effective option after failed LAGB. Both synchronous OAGB and two-step revisional OAGB guarantee satisfying results in terms of postoperative morbidity and WL outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Series comparing gastric banding (GB) removal and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) when procedures are performed as a 1- or a 2-step approach are contradictory in their outcomes. No series comparing these approaches with midterm weight loss is available. OBJECTIVES Compare the outcomes and weight loss of SG performed as 1- and 2-step approaches as a revisional procedure for GB failure. SETTING University Hospital, France, public practice. METHODS Between February 2006 and January 2017, all patients undergoing SG with a previous history of implementation of GB (n = 358) were included in this 2-center, retrospective, observational study. Revisional surgery was proposed in patients with insufficient excess weight loss (excess weight loss ≤50%) or weight regain after GB. A 1-step (1-step group, n = 270) or 2-step (2-step group, n = 88) approach was decided depending on patient's choice and/or surgeon's preference. The primary efficacy endpoint was the comparison of weight loss in the 1- and 2-step groups at the 2-year follow-up. The secondary efficacy endpoints were short-term outcomes (overall mortality and morbidity at postoperative day 30, specific morbidity, reoperation, length of hospital stay, and readmission). RESULTS In the 1-step group, the mean preoperative body mass index before SG was 40.5 kg/m2 (27.0-69.0), while in the 2-step group, the mean preoperative body mass index was 43.5 kg/m2 (31.5-61.7). Mean operating time was 109 minutes (50-240) in the 1-step group and 78.7 minutes (40-175) in the 2-step group (P = .22). In the 1-step group, 6 conversions to laparotomy occurred, while in the 2-step group, 2 conversions to laparotomy occurred (P = .75). One death (.2%, in the 2-step group) and 39 complications (30 in the 1-step group [11.1%] and 9 in the 2-step group [10.2%]) also occurred. The mean length of hospital stay was 6.2 days in the 1-step group and 4.1 days in the 2-step group. At 2-year follow-up, mean body mass index was 32.4 kg/m2 in the 1-step group and 33.2 kg/m2 in the 2-step group (P = .15), representing excess weight losses of 61.9 and 50.1 (P = .05), respectively. The rates of revisional surgery were .7% and 2.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS SG after previous GB is efficient with similar outcomes depending on the 1- or 2-step approach. The 1-step approach seems to have increased weight loss compared with the 2-step approach.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nowadays, surgeons are dealing more and more with patients experiencing failure of a previous bariatric procedure after the worldwide exponential increase of bariatric surgery. Only a few and contradictory studies investigated both outcomes and complications risk factors in this subset population of bariatric patients. We aimed to study a homogeneous population of patients undergoing redo bariatric surgery (REDO-BS) resulting in bypass anatomy to evaluate early postoperative outcomes and identify risk factors of postoperative complications and mortality. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, we compared the outcomes of patients undergoing REDO-BS from another former bariatric procedure into Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGP) to those undergoing primary RYGP. Data were extracted from a prospectively maintained database. RESULTS One hundred thirty-eight conversional bariatric surgery (CBS) cases resulting in RYGP anatomy and 38 RBS cases of pouch resizing (PR) were compared with 756 primary RYGP. There were no statistical significant difference in outcomes between the primary and CBS groups but patients undergoing PR had a significant higher risk of developing a leak than others. CBS complication risk factors were age (OR = 1.05; p = 0.04), operative time, and T2DM (OR = 4.11; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS CBS is safe and leads to similar early postoperative outcomes as primary RYGP whereas the indication for revisional surgery such as PR should be carefully evaluated as it is associated with an increased risk of leak.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding has been the gold standard for surgical management of obesity over the last decades in USA and Europe. However, significant complications have been documented due to foreign body placement, including band erosions. Our treatment approach for erosions is rather observant with regular follow-up until the band has sufficiently perforated the gastric wall which facilitates endoscopic removal. Consequences of a not followed-up band erosion may present even after a long time following initial diagnosis with more severe complications. CASE PRESENTATION A 51-year-old Caucasian woman presented to our out-patients' clinic with a 2-week history of worsening abdominal pain in her left upper quadrant, exacerbated by abdominal flexion and extension maneuvers. Here we describe a case involving gastric penetration and subsequent downward migration of a band into distal jejunum causing small bowel obstruction, which occurred more than 10 years following initial diagnosis of erosion. The perforation was missed due to cessation of endoscopic follow-up. CONCLUSION Prospective and long-term follow-up is mandatory in those with partial band erosion to avoid further complications.
