Laparoscopic stomach intestinal pylorus-sparing surgery as a revisional option after failed adjustable gastric banding: a report of 27 cases with 36-month follow-up

Scoping review of obesity interventions: Research frontiers and publication status

Obesity and overweight are significant global health issues, and numerous obesity intervention studies have been conducted. Summarizing current knowledge of interventions aims to inform researchers and policymakers to keep up-to-date with the latest scientific advancements and trends. In this review, we comprehensively retrieved and screened 4,541 studies on obesity intervention published between 2018 and 2022 in the Web of Science Core Collection, and objectively presented research frontiers using bibliometric analysis. The research frontiers of intervention are mainly focused on dietary, exercise, pharmacological interventions, bariatric surgery, environmental, and cognitive interventions. Time-restricted eating is the hottest research topic, followed by probiotics and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Gut microbiota is located in the "Basic and transversal themes" quadrant with a high centrality and low density, which has great development potentiality. Obesity intervention is becoming increasingly common,and we advocate for researchers to undertake more focused research endeavors that consider the specific characteristics of diverse populations or patients.

The Efficacy and Safety of Laparoscopic Single-Anastomosis Duodeno-ileostomy with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S) in Mid- and Long-Term Follow-Up: a Systematic Review

This systematic review of 10 studies aimed to investigate the mid- and long-term results of duodeno-ileostomy with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) according to the PRISMA guideline. Related articles, which reported outcomes of laparoscopic SADI-S with follow-up ≥ 3 years, were selected and analyzed. The percentage of excess weight loss (EWL) was 70.9-88.7%, and 80.4% at 6, and 10 years, respectively. The more common late complications were malabsorption (6.3%) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (3.6%). The remission rates of hypertension, diabetes, GERD, obstructive sleep apnea, and dyslipidemia were 62.9%, 81.3%, 53.2%, 60.9%, and 69.7%, respectively. In conclusion, SADI-S is a safe and effective surgical technique with durable weight loss and a high rate of comorbidity resolution in mid and long term.

Robotic vs laparoscopic approach for single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy: a propensity score matching analysis

Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch and single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) are technically demanding hypo-absorptive bariatric procedures. They are often indicated in superobese patients (BMI ≥ 50 kg/m²), as robotic platform could improve ergonomics against a thick abdominal wall, preventing bending of instruments and simplifying hand-sewn anastomoses. We aimed to report our experience with robotic SADI-S (R-group) and to compare outcomes with the laparoscopic (L-group) approach. Among 2143 patients who underwent bariatric procedures at our institution between July 2016 and June 2021, 116 (5.4%) consenting patients were scheduled for SADI-S as primary or revisional procedure: 94 L-group, 22 R-group. R-group and L-group patients were matched using PSM analysis to overcome patients selection bias. Postoperative complications, operative time (OT), post-operative stay (POS) and follow-up data were compared. After PSM, 44 patients (22 patients for each group) were compared (Chi-square 0.317, p = 0.985). Median age, gender, median BMI, preoperative rates of comorbidities, previous abdominal bariatric and non-bariatric surgeries and type of surgical procedures (SADI-S/SADI) were comparable. Median OT was shorter in the L-group (130 Vs 191 min, p < 0.001). 30-days' re-operative complications and late complications rates were comparable. At 25-months' mean follow-up, the median Percentage Excess Weight Loss (72%) was comparable between the groups (p = 0.989). L-group and R-group were comparable in terms of re-operative complication rate and short-term outcomes. The robotic platform may increase the rate of single step procedure in challenging cases. Larger studies with longer follow-up and cost-analysis are necessary to draw definitive conclusions.

Single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S): experience from a high-bariatric volume center

Purpose

Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch and single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) are technically demanding hypo-absorptive bariatric procedures generally indicated in super-obese patients (BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2). Data from the literature prove the procedure to be safe and effective, with promising bariatric and metabolic effects. Anyway, international societies support the creation of multicentric national and international registries to obtain more homogeneous data over the long period. We aimed to report our experience with this procedure.

Methods

Among 2313 patients who underwent bariatric procedures at our institution, between July 2016 and August 2021, 121 (5.2%) consenting patients were scheduled for SADI-S as primary (SADIS) or revisional procedure after sleeve gastrectomy (SADI) (respectively 87 and 34 patients). Early and late post-operative complications, operative time, post-operative stay, and follow-up data were analyzed.

Results

Overall, the median preoperative BMI was 52.3 (48.75–57.05) kg/m2 with a median age of 44 (39–51) years, the median operative time was 120 (100–155) min. Complications at 30th-day post-op were registered in 4 (3.3%) patients and late complications in 4 (3.3%) patients. At a median follow-up of 31 (14–39) months, the median percentage excess weight loss was 79.8 (55.15–91.45)%, and the median total weight loss was 57.0650 (43.3925–71.3475)%.

Conclusion

Our data, coherently with the literature, confirm that SADI-S is a safe, effective procedure with acceptable complications rate. Larger studies with longer follow-ups are necessary to draw definitive conclusions.

Single Anastomosis Duodeno-ileal Bypass As a Revisional Procedure Following Sleeve Gastrectomy: Review of the Literature

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies (LSGs) can experience weight-loss failure and conversion to another bariatric procedure. An analysis of the bariatric literature concerning the single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) as revisional surgery after LSG in terms of safety and efficacy identified 607 studies. Fifty-nine studies were analyzed for full content review and 9 primary studies (398 patients) were included. Revisional single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI) was performed in 294 patients at a mean interval of 37.7 months (range 11-179). Total weight loss (%) varies from 20.5% to 46.2%. Early complications after surgery occurred in 4.1% surgeries including leak (7 cases -1.9%). Mortality was nil. SADI after LSG, after failed sleeve gastrectomy or as a sequential procedure, offers a satisfactory weight loss result. Both early and late term complications are acceptable.

Primary SADI-S in Chinese with Diabetes and BMI < 35 kg/m2: a Retrospective Study with 2-Year Follow-up

BACKGROUND

Single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) is a bariatric procedure based on the standard duodenal switch surgery. It was first introduced in 2007 as a procedure for individuals with clinically severe obesity. Till date, primary SADI-S has not been used on Chinese with diabetes and body mass index (BMI) < 35 kg/m².

OBJECTIVES

Here, we account the use of this novel surgery in Chinese with diabetes and BMI < 35 kg/m².

METHODS

All relevant medical information, involving patients with diabetes and BMI < 35 kg/m², who received primary SADI-S at Beijing Shijitan Hospital from June 2017 to December 2018, was retrospectively assessed.

RESULTS

Twenty-six patients were selected for evaluation, and all of them completed a 2-year follow-up. The age, diabetic duration, and preoperative BMI were 35.5 (range 20-63) years, 3.5 (range 0.5-18) years, and 34.40 (range 28.74-34.96) kg/m², respectively. At 24 months, the percentage of total body weight loss (%TWL) and BMI were 26.26 (range 13.33-43.88) and 24.72 (range 17.96-29.07) kg/m², respectively. There were no serious complications or sequelae within a 2-year follow-up. In addition, for diabetes, 20/23 people achieved complete remission, whereas 3 achieved partial remission.

CONCLUSION

SADI-S is a highly effective and feasible bariatric surgery for Chinese having diabetes and BMI < 35 kg/m². However, care must be taken to follow a strict criteria for patient selection and to monitor patients carefully for the detection of postoperative nutritional sequelae.

Single-Anastomosis Duodenal Ileostomy with Sleeve Gastrectomy "Continued Innovation of the Duodenal Switch"

Single-anastomosis duodenal ileostomy with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) is an important emerging procedure in bariatric surgery as an alternative to performing the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or the Roux-en-Y duodenal switch. With this significant weight loss and low weight regain, SADI-S has low complication rates. SADI-S, because of its anatomic configuration, also does not increase ulcer risk in patients, with almost no ulcers observed. Because of the short common channel, malnutrition is a risk. Diabetes resolution is higher than with RYGB. Overall SADI-S is a safe and effective procedure for patients with higher body mass index and patients with diabetes.

Management of Leak after Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy

The single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) has been introduced in the past few years for the treatment of morbid obesity. SADI-S has shown good results in terms of long-term results and short-term complications. However, the management of patients undergoing SADI-S and suffering from a leak is a great challenge for surgeons. We present an extensive review of the currently available literature on the management of leak after SADI in morbid obese (MO) patients. We aim at providing objective information regarding the optimal management, including diagnosis, technical options for the different strategies that have been proposed, to facilitate the selection of the best individual approach for each MO patient.
