RESUMO
AIM: Laparoscopic surgery is widely used for small gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) (≤ 5 cm) but remains a controversial approach for larger gastric GISTs (> 5 cm). This study aims to compare short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic resection in comparison with open resection for gastric GISTs measuring over 5 cm. METHOD: All patients receiving surgery for gastric GIST > 5 cm between 2000 and 2021 in a single tertiary hospital were included. Data were collected from prospectively maintained records. Kaplan-Meier method and log rank test were used to compare survival outcomes. RESULTS: Among 108 included patients, 59 patients had minimally invasive (MI) surgery (54.6%) whereas 49 patients had open surgery (46.4%). The rate of overall postoperative morbidity was 14.8% and the median length was significantly shorter in the MI group [4 (range 2-30) vs. 7 (range 4-33) days; P = 0.007]. The overall R0 resection rate was 98.2% and the rate of tumor rupture was 13%, not different between the two groups. Recurrence occurred in 24% of the whole population without any difference between groups (20.3% vs. 28.7%, p = 0.31). Minimally invasive surgery was not found as a negative prognostic disease-free survival factor. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic surgery could be a safe and feasible alternative to open surgery in large gastric GIST, bringing the benefits of minimally invasive surgery without compromising oncologic results.

AIM: The aim of this work was to investigate the association between early postoperative anastomotic leakage or pelvic abscess (AL/PA) and symptomatic anastomotic stenosis (SAS) in patients after surgery for left colonic diverticulitis. METHOD: This is a retrospective study based on a national cohort of diverticulitis surgery patients carried out by the Association Française de Chirurgie. The assessment was performed using path analyses. The database included 7053 patients operated on for colonic diverticulitis, with surgery performed electively or in an emergency, by open access or laparoscopically. Patients were excluded from the study analysis where there was (i) right-sided diverticulitis (the initial database included all consecutive patients operated on for colonic diverticulitis), (ii) no anastomosis was performed during the first procedure or (iii) missing information about stenosis, postoperative abscess or anastomotic leakage. RESULTS: Of the 4441 patients who were included in the final analysis, AL/PA occurred in 327 (4.6%) and SAS occurred in 82 (1.8%). AL/PA was a significant independent factor associated with a risk for occurrence of SAS (OR = 3.41, 95% CI = 1.75-6.66), as was the case for diverting stoma for ≥100 days (OR = 2.77, 95% CI = 1.32-5.82), while central vessel ligation proximal to the inferior mesenteric artery was associated with a reduced risk (OR = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.19-0.88). Diverting stoma created for <100 days or ≥100 days was also a factor associated with a risk for AL/PA (OR = 3.08, 95% CI = 2-4.75 and OR = 12.95, 95% CI = 9.11-18.50). Interestingly, no significant association between radiological drainage or surgical management of AL/PA and SAS could be highlighted. CONCLUSION: AL/PA was an independent factor associated with the risk for SAS. The treatment of AL/PA was not associated with the occurrence of anastomotic stenosis. Diverting stoma was associated with an increased risk of both AL/PA and SAS, especially if it was left for ≥100 days. Physicians must be aware of this information in order to decide on the best course of action when creating a stoma during elective or emergency surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the background, bacteriological, clinical and radiological findings, associated lesions, treatment and outcome of splenic abscesses (SAs) in infective endocarditis (IE). METHODS: Retrospective study (2005-2021) of 474 patients with definite IE. The diagnosis of SA was made in 36 (7.6%) patients (31, 86.1%, males, mean age = 51.3) on abdominal CT. RESULTS: The main implicated organisms were Streptococcus spp (36.1%), Enterococcus faecalis (27.7%), Staphyloccus spp (19.4%). Rare agents were present in 10 patients (27.8%). Pre-existing conditions included a prosthetic valve (19.4%), previous IE (13.9%), intravenous drug use (8.4%), diabetes (25%) alcohol abuse (13.9%), liver disease (5.5%). Vegetations ≥ 15 mm were present in 36.1%. Common presentations were abdominal pain (19.4%) and left-sided pleural effusion (16.5%). SA were more often small (50%; 7 multiple) than large (36.1%; 1 multiple) or microabscesses (13.9%, 3 multiple). Associated complications were extrasplenic abscesses (brain, 11.1%; lung, 5.5%; liver, 2.8%), infectious aneurysms (16.7%: 3 intracranial, 1 splenic, 1 hepatic, 1 popliteal), emboli (brain, 52.8%; spleen, 44.4%, 5 evolving to SA; kidney, 22.2%; aorta, 2.8%), osteoarticular infections (25%). Twenty-eight (77.8%) patients only received antimicrobials, 7 (19.4%) underwent splenectomy, after cardiac surgery in 5. One had percutaneous drainage. The outcome was uneventful (follow-up 3 months-14 years; mean: 17.2 months). CONCLUSION: In SA-IE patients, the prevalence of vegetation size, Enterococcus faecalis, rare germs, diabetes, osteo-arthritic involvement and cancer was higher than in non-SA patients. Some SAs developed from splenic infarcts. IE-patients with evidence of splenic emboli should be evaluated for a possible abcedation. Cardiac surgery before splenectomy was safe.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The observed increase in the incidence of complicated diverticulitis may lead to the performance of more emergency surgeries. This study aimed to assess the rate and risk factors of emergency surgery for sigmoid diverticulitis. METHOD: The primary outcomes were the rate of emergency surgery for sigmoid diverticulitis and its associated risk factors. The urgent or elective nature of the surgical intervention was provided by the surgeon and in accordance with the indication for surgical treatment. A mixed logistic regression with a random intercept after multiple imputations by the chained equation was performed to consider the influence of missing data on the results. RESULTS: Between 2010 and 2021, 6,867 patients underwent surgery for sigmoid diverticulitis in the participating centers, of which one-third (n = 2317) were emergency cases. In multivariate regression analysis with multiple imputation by chained equation, increasing age, body mass index <18.5 kg/m2, neurologic and pulmonary comorbidities, use of anticoagulant drugs, immunocompromised status, and first attack of sigmoid diverticulitis were independent risk factors for emergency surgery. The likelihood of emergency surgery was significantly more frequent after national guidelines, which were implemented in 2017, only in patients with a history of sigmoid diverticulitis attacks. CONCLUSION: The present study highlights a high rate (33%) of emergency surgery for sigmoid diverticulitis in France, which was significantly associated with patient features and the first attack of diverticulitis.

BACKGROUND: Incidence of post-operative complications after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is low. However, the early identification of these complications remains crucial. Here, we report the impact of routine laboratory monitoring for the early diagnosis of complications after SG. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From January 2018 to December 2019, all consecutive patients who underwent primary SG (n = 457) were included. This was a comparative study of patients undergoing primary SG. Patients were divided into two groups: one group with routine laboratory monitoring performed at postoperative day (POD) 1 and 3 (LAB group) and another group without routine laboratory monitoring (control group). The study's primary endpoint was the overall impact of routine laboratory monitoring. The secondary endpoints were evaluation of patients with complications. RESULTS: The population in the two groups were similar in term of demographic and intra-operative data. There was a statistical difference between the two groups in term of length of stay (5.7 days in the LAB group and 3.5 days in the control group (p < 0.001)). There were 19 complications (6.0%) in the LAB group and 5 complications in the control group (3.5%) (p = 0.25). A cut-off C-reactive protein level of 46.3 mg/l was found to be significant (p = 0.006). In the LAB group, 9 patients (2.9%) required readmission vs. three patients (2.0%) in the control group (p = 0.62). CONCLUSION: The interest of routine laboratory monitoring after SG seems limited. Routine laboratory monitoring alone is not associated with earlier diagnosis of complications. This routine monitoring is associated with an increase of stay in hospital.

BACKGROUND: To determine the prevalence, the clinical and radiological features, associated factors, treatment, and outcome of splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) in infective endocarditis (IE). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 474 consecutive patients admitted to our institution with definite IE (2005-2020). RESULTS: Six patients had SAAs (1.3%; 3 women; mean age: 50 years). In all cases, the diagnosis was obtained by abdominal computed tomography angiography (CTA). SAAs-IE were solitary and saccular with a mean diameter of 30 mm (range: 10-90 mm). SAAs-IE were intrasplenic (n = 4) or hilar (n = 2). Streptococcus spp. were the predominant organisms (n = 4). In all cases, a left-sided native valve was involved (aortic, n = 3; mitral, n = 2; mitral-aortic, n = 1). SAAs were silent in half patients and were revealed by abdominal pain (n = 2) and by the resurgence of fever after cardiac surgery (n = 1). All patients underwent emergent valve replacement. One patient died within 24 hr from multiorgan failure. For the others, uneventful coil embolization was performed in 4 patients after valve replacement (3 diagnosed early and 1 at 8 weeks). In the remaining patient, SAA-IE diagnosed at abdominal CTA at day 16, with complete resolution under appropriate antibiotherapy alone. CONCLUSIONS: SAAs-IE are a rare occurrence that may be clinically silent. SAAs-IE can be intrasplenic or hilar in location. Endovascular treatment in this context was safe. According to current guidelines, radiologic screening by abdominal CTA allowed the detection of silent SAAs which could be managed by endovascular treatment to prevent rupture. The delayed formation of these SAAs could justify a CTA control at the end of antibiotherapy.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the surgical management of sigmoid diverticular disease (SDD) before, during, and after the first containment rules (CR) for the first wave of COVID-19. METHODS: From the French Surgical Association multicenter series, this study included all patients operated on between January 2018 and September 2021. Three groups were compared: A (before CR period: 01/01/18-03/16/20), B (CR period: 03/17/20-05/03/20), and C (post CR period: 05/04/20-09/30/21). RESULTS: A total of 1965 patients (A n = 1517, B n = 52, C n = 396) were included. The A group had significantly more previous SDD compared to the two other groups (p = 0.007), especially complicated (p = 0.0004). The rate of peritonitis was significantly higher in the B (46.1%) and C (38.4%) groups compared to the A group (31.7%) (p = 0.034 and p = 0.014). As regards surgical treatment, Hartmann's procedure was more often performed in the B group (44.2%, vs A 25.5% and C 26.8%, p = 0.01). Mortality at 90 days was significantly higher in the B group (9.6%, vs A 4% and C 6.3%, p = 0.034). This difference was also significant between the A and B groups (p = 0.048), as well as between the A and C groups (p = 0.05). There was no significant difference between the three groups in terms of postoperative morbidity. CONCLUSION: This study shows that the management of SDD was impacted by COVID-19 at CR, but also after and until September 2021, both on the initial clinical presentation and on postoperative mortality.

For early distal gastric cancers, a proximal margin (PM) > 2-3 cm might probably be sufficient. For advanced tumors, many confounding factors have a prognostic impact on survival and recurrence and negative margin involvement may be more relevant than negative margin length. INTRODUCTION: In gastric cancer surgery, microscopic positive margin is a poor prognostic factor whereas complete resection with tumor-free margins remains a challenging issue. European guidelines recommended a macroscopic margin of 5 or even 8 cm for diffuse-type cancers to achieve R0 resection. However, it is unclear if the length of negative proximal margin (PM) could have a prognostic impact on survival. We aimed to perform a systematic review of the literature analyzing PM length and its prognostic impact in gastric adenocarcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Pubmed and Embase databases were searched for "gastric cancer" or "gastric adenocarcinoma," combined with "proximal margin," between January 1990 and June 2021. English-written studies that specified PM length were included. Survival data, in relation to PM, were extracted. RESULTS: Twelve retrospective studies, with a total number of 10,067 patients, met inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Mean length of proximal margin on the whole population varied from 2.6 to 5.29 cm. Three studies found minimal PM cut-off to improve overall survival in univariate analysis. Concerning recurrence-free survival analysis, only 2 series showed better results with PM > 2 or > 3 cm, using Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate analysis demonstrated an independent impact of PM on overall survival in 2 studies. CONCLUSION: For early distal gastric cancers, a PM > 2-3 cm might probably be sufficient. For advanced or proximal tumors, many confounding factors have a prognostic impact on survival and recurrence and negative margin involvement may be more relevant than negative margin length.

OBJECTIVES: Little is known about how to perform the endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-directed transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP; EDGE) in patients with gastric bypass using lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS). The aim was to assess the risk factors of anastomosis-related difficult ERCP. METHODS: Observational single-center study. All patients who underwent an EDGE procedure in 2020-2022 following a standardized protocol were included. Risk factors for difficult ERCP, defined as the need of >5 min LAMS dilation or failure to pass a duodenoscope in the second duodenum, were assessed. RESULTS: Forty-five ERCPs were performed in 31 patients (57.4 ± 8.2 years old, 38.7% male). The EUS procedure was done using a wire-guided technique (n = 28, 90.3%) for biliary stones (n = 22, 71%) in most cases. The location of the anastomosis was gastro-gastric (n = 24, 77.4%) and mainly in the middle-excluded stomach (n = 21, 67.7%) with an oblique axis (n = 22, 71%). The ERCP technical success was 96.8%. There were 10 difficult ERCPs (32.3%) due to timing (n = 8), anastomotic dilation (n = 8), or failure to pass (n = 3). By multivariable analysis adjusted by two-stage procedures, the risk factors for a difficult ERCP were the jejuno-gastric route (85.7% vs. 16.7%; odds ratio [ORa ] 31.875; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.649-616.155; P = 0.022), and the anastomosis to the proximal/distal excluded stomach (70% vs. 14.3%; ORa 22.667; 95% CI 1.676-306.570; P = 0.019). There was only one complication (3.2%) and one persistent gastro-gastric fistula (3.2%) in a median follow-up of 4 months (2-18 months), with no weight regain (P = 0.465). CONCLUSIONS: The jejunogastric route and the anastomosis with the proximal/distal excluded stomach during the EDGE procedure increase the difficulty of ERCP.

BACKGROUND: Gastric sleeve stenosis (GSS) is described in 1%-4% of patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of endoscopy in the management of stenosis after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy using a standardized approach according to the characteristic of stenosis. SETTING: Retrospective, observational, single-center study on patients referred from several bariatric surgery departments to an endoscopic referral center. METHODS: We enrolled 202 patients. All patients underwent endoscopy in a fluoroscopy setting, and a systematic classification of the type, site, and length of the GSS was performed. According to the characteristics of the stenosis, patients underwent pneumatic dilatation or placement of a self-expandable metal stent or a lumen-apposed metal stent. Failure of endoscopic treatment was considered an indication for redo surgery, whereas patients with partial or complete response were followed up for 2 years. In the event of a recurrence, a different endoscopic approach was used. RESULTS: We found inflammatory strictures in 4.5% of patients, pure narrowing in 11%, and functional stenosis in 84.5%. Stenosis was in the upper tract of the stomach in 53 patients, whereas medium and distal stenosis was detected in 138 and 11 patients, respectively, and short stenosis in 194 patients. A total of 126 patients underwent pneumatic dilatation, 8 self-expandable metal stent placement, 64 lumen-apposed metal stent positioning, and 36 combined therapy. The overall rate of endoscopy success was 69%. CONCLUSION: GSS should be considered to be a chronic disease, and the endoscopic approach seems to be the most successful treatment, with a prolonged positive outcome of 69%. Characteristics of the stenosis should guide the most suitable endoscopic approach.

BACKGROUND: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) may expose the patient to certain specific complications. Here, we report the results of conversion of OAGB to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in terms of outcomes and weight loss. METHODS: Between January 2009 and January 2019, all patients undergoing conversion of OAGB to RYGB because of complications due to OAGB (n = 23) were included. The primary efficacy endpoint was the effectiveness of converting OAGB to RYGB. The secondary endpoints were overall mortality and morbidity during the first 3 postoperative months, specific morbidity, reoperation, length of hospitalization, weight loss, and progression of comorbidities related to obesity at 2-year follow-up. RESULTS: Indications for conversion were bile reflux (n = 14; 60.9%), severe malnutrition (n = 3; 13%), gastro-gastric fistula (n = 4; 17.4%), and anastomotic leak (n = 2; 8.7%). The median time interval between OAGB and conversion to RYGB was 34 months (0-158). At the time of RYGB, median body mass index (BMI) was 28.0 kg/m2 (18.2-50.7), representing a median BMI change of 14.0 (- 1.7-43.5). Fifteen surgeries (65.1%) were completed laparoscopically. Five complications (21.7%) were recorded, including 2 major ones (8.7%). Reoperation rate was 4.3% (n = 1). At 24 months of follow-up (n = 18; 78.3%), median BMI was 28.7 kg/m2 (19.4-35.4), representing a median BMI change of 19.5 (12.2-43.1). No patient complained of bile reflux or persistent malnutrition. CONCLUSION: RYGB performed as revisional surgery for complications after OAGB is an effective procedure with no major weight regain at 2 years of follow-up.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endoscopy is effective in management of bariatric surgery (BS) adverse events (AEs) but a comprehensive evaluation of long-term results is lacking. Our aim is to assess the effectiveness of a standardized algorithm for the treatment of BS-AE. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 1020 consecutive patients treated in our center from 2012 to 2020, collecting data on demographics, type of BS, complications, and endoscopic treatment. Clinical success (CS) was evaluated considering referral delay, healing time, surgery, and complications type. Logistic regression was performed to identify variables of CS. RESULTS: In the study period, we treated 339 fistulae (33.2%), 324 leaks (31.8%), 198 post-sleeve gastrectomy twist/stenosis (19.4%), 95 post-RYGB stenosis (9.3 %), 37 collections (3.6%), 15 LAGB migrations (1.5%), 7 weight regains (0.7%), and 2 hemorrhages (0.2%). Main endoscopic treatments were as follows: pigtail-stent positioning under endoscopic view for both leaks (CS 86.1%) and fistulas (CS 77.2%), or under EUS-guidance for collections (CS 88.2%); dilations and/or stent positioning for sleeve twist/stenosis (CS 80.6%) and bypass stenosis (CS 81.5%). After a median (IQR) follow-up of 18.5 months (4.29-38.68), complications rate was 1.9%. We found a 1% increased risk of redo-surgery every 10 days of delay to the first endoscopic treatment. Endoscopically treated patients had a more frequent regular diet compared to re-operated patients. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic treatment of BS-AEs following a standardized algorithm is safe and effective. Early endoscopic treatment is associated with an increased CS rate.

BACKGROUND: Endoscopy plays a pivotal role in the management of adverse events (AE) following bariatric surgery. Leaks, fistulae, and post-operative collection after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) may occur in up to 10% of cases. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic internal drainage (EID) for the management of leak, fistula, and collection following SG. SETTING: Retrospective, observational, single center study on patients referred from several bariatric surgery departments to an endoscopic referral center. METHODS: EID was used as first-line treatment for the management of leaks, fistulae, and collections. Leaks and fistulae were treated with double pigtail stent (DPS) deployment in order to guarantee internal drainage and second intention cavity obliteration. Collections were treated with endoscropic ultrasound (EUS)-guided deployment of DPS or lumen apposing metal stents. RESULTS: A total of 617 patients (83.3% female; mean age, 43.1 yr) were enrolled in the study for leak (n = 300, 48.6%), fistula (n = 285, 46.2%), and collection (n = 32, 5.2%). Median follow-up was 19.5 months. Overall clinical success was 84.7% whereas 15.3% of cases required revisional surgery after EID failure. Clinical success according to type of AE was 89.5%, 78.5%, and 90% for leak, fistula, and collection, respectively. A total of 10 of 547 (1.8%) presented a recurrence during follow-up. A total of 28 (4.5%) AE related to the endoscopic treatment occurred. At univariate logistic regression predictors of failure were: fistula (OR 2.012), combined endoscopic approach (OR 2.319), need for emergency surgery (OR 1.755), and previous endoscopic treatment (OR 4.818). CONCLUSION: Early EID for the management of leak, fistula, and post-operative collection after SG seems a safe and effective first-line approach with good long-term results.

BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery is among the therapeutic options for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), affecting 90% of patients with obesity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the evolution of NAFLD lesions 1 year after surgery using noninvasive markers. METHODS: From November 2011 to November 2012, 253 patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery in three French University Hospitals were included. Histological data regarding intraoperative liver biopsy were collected at baseline, clinical, and biological data, including FibroTest®, SteatoTest®, and NASHTest®, before and after surgery. RESULTS: Fibrosis' prevalence was 74.2% with a positive predictive value (PPV) for FibroTest® of 78.6% and 43.4% for significant fibrosis (Kleiner ≥ F2) with a negative predictive value (NPV) of 56.1%. NAFLD's prevalence was 84% with a PPV for SteatoTest® of 85.9% and 7.7% for NASH with an NPV for NASHTest® of 93.8%. One year after bariatric surgery, mean BMI had significantly decreased from 46.5 to 31.7 kg/m2 (p < 0.001). Fibrosis assessed by the FibroTest® showed that 82.5% of patients were F0 after surgery compared to 90.9% before. Using SteatoTest®, the percent of patient without steatosis (S0) increased from 1.6 to 49.6% after surgery, and rate of severe steatosis (S3) improved from 43.3 to 3.9%. NASHTest® revealed that the percent of patients without NASH increased from 12.8 to 73.6% and rates of NASH improved from 12 to 0.8%. CONCLUSIONS: Validated noninvasive biomarkers SteatoTest® and NASHTest® suggested NAFLD and steatohepatitis improvement after bariatric surgery and might be useful tools for patient follow-up. Regarding fibrosis, FibroTest® was not accurate in patients with extreme obesity.

BACKGROUND: Gastric leak (GL) is the most highly feared early postoperative complication after sleeve gastrectomy (SG), with an incidence of 1% to 2%. This complication may require further surgery/endoscopy, with a risk of management failure that may require additional surgery, including total gastrectomy, leading to a risk of mortality of 0% to 9%. OBJECTIVES: Assess the impact of factors that may lead to a poorer evolution of GL. SETTING: University Hospital, France, public practice. METHODS: This was a retrospective, single-center study of a group of patients managed for GL after SG between November 2004 and January 2019 (n = 166). Forty-three patients were excluded. The population study was divided into 2 groups: patients with easy closing of the GL (n = 73) and patients with difficult closing of the GL or failure to heal (n = 50). Patients were allocated to 1 of 2 groups depending on the time to heal (median time of 84 days). The study's primary efficacy endpoint was to determine the risk factors for a poorer evolution of GL. RESULTS: Among 123 patients included in this study, 103 patients had undergone primary SG (83.7%). The mean time to the appearance of GL was 15.1 days (range, 1-156 d). Seventy-four patients underwent a reoperation (60%). The mean number of endoscopies per patient was 2.7 (range, 2-7 endoscopies). The mean time to healing was 89.5 days (range, 18-386 d). There were 8 cases of healing failure (6.5%). Multivariate analysis identified body mass index (>47 kg/m2), time to referral (>2 d), and serum prealbumin level (<.1 g/dL) to be independent risk factors for a poorer evolution of GL. CONCLUSION: Improvement of nutritional status before SG and early referral for GL could reduce the risk of delayed closure or the need for further surgery.

BACKGROUND: Few studies on series comparing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) after failure of gastric banding (GB) are available. The objective of this study was to compare the short- and medium-term outcomes of SG and RYGB after GB. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2006 and December 2017, patients undergoing SG (n = 186) or RYGB (n = 107) for failure of primary GB were included in this two-center study. Propensity-score matching was performed based on preoperative factors with a 2:1 ratio. Primary endpoint was the weight loss at 2 years between the SG and RYGB groups. Secondary endpoints were overall mortality and morbidity, reoperation, correction of comorbidities and the rate of adverse events at 2 years follow-up. RESULTS: In our propensity score matching analysis, operative time was significantly less in the SG group (95 min vs. 179 min; p < 0.001). Post-operative complications were lower in the SG group (9.5% vs. 35.4%; p = 0.003). At 2 years follow-up, the mean EWL was similar as same as comorbidities. There was a significant difference in favor of SG concerning the rate of adverse events at 2 years follow-up (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Revision of GB by SG or RYGB is feasible, with a higher rate of early post-operative complications for RYGB. Weight loss at 2 years follow-up is similar; however, RYGB appears to result in a higher rate of adverse events than SG.
