RESUMEN
KEY POINTS: SADIS with short common limb (< 250 cm) is a malabsorptive operation. Reoperation is advised in patients requiring admission for severe malnutrition. Elongation of the common channel is the preferred revisional technique Introduction: Single-Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal bypass with Sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) is a modification of the duodenal switch. Initial common channel's length was 200, and after malnutrition was detected in some patients, it was elongated to 250 or 300 cm. The present study analyzes presentation and treatment of malnutrition after SADI-S. MATERIALS: Three hundred and thirty-three consecutive patients undergoing SADI-S between May 2007 and February 2019 were included. The common limb length was 200 cm in 50 cases, 250 cm in 211, 300 in 71 and 350 in 1. Thirty-one patients were admitted for severe hypoalbuminemia and 17 patients were submitted to revisional surgery, and constitute the series of our study. Mean weight before reoperation was 57 kg and mean body mass index (BMI) was 21 kg/m2. Mean number of daily bowel movements was 5,6. RESULTS: Mean time to reoperation was 56 months. The limb was found shorter than expected in 6 cases. Revisional surgery was conversion into a Roux en Y duodenal switch in 3 cases, elongation of the common limb in 11 patients, duodeno-duodenostomy in 1 and duodeno-jejunostomy to the first jejunal loop in 2. Mean weight regain was 14 kg, and mean final BMI 26 kg/m2. Daily bowel movements were reduced to 1,3. Factors related to hypoalbuminemia were hypertension, poor-controlled diabetes, shorter common limb and liver-test alterations. CONCLUSION: SADI-S is expected to be less malabsorptive than previous biliopancreatic diversions. However, caution must be taken with certain patients to avoid postoperative malnutrition. Adequate follow up with long-term supplementation is required.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) is a simplification of the duodenal switch (DS) in which the alimentary limb is eliminated, and the common channel is lengthened from 200 to 300 cm. Short-term results have demonstrated that SADI-S is safe and reproducible and that weight loss and comorbidities resolution are comparable to biliopancreatic diversion or DS. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the long-term outcomes of SADI-S. METHODS: From May 2007 to December 2015, 164 patients were consecutively submitted to a one-step SADI-S. The mean age was 47 years, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 45.8 kg/m2. A total of 101 patients had type 2 diabetes, 91 arterial hypertension, 81 obstructive apnea, and 118 dyslipidemia. Limb length was 200 cm in 50 cases, 250 cm in 99, and 300 cm in 15. RESULTS: There was no mortality. One patient had a gastric leak, and 2 patients had an anastomotic leak. A total of 25% of the patients were lost to follow-up at 10 years. Excess weight loss and total weight loss were 87% and 38% at 5 years and 80% and 34% at 10 years. A total of 12 patients were submitted to revisional surgery for hypoproteinemia. Preoperatively 41 diabetics were under insulin treatment; at 5 years, 7 remained with insulin and 12 at 10 years. Mean glycemia was 104 mg/dL at 5 years and 118 mg/dL at 10 years. Mean HbA1c was 5.51% at 5 years and 5.86 at 10 years. CONCLUSION: In the long term, SADI-S offers satisfactory weight loss and comorbidities resolution.
