RESUMO
CONTEXT: Some studies have shown that one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) results in the derangement of liver function tests (LFTs). We wanted to study this in our patients. AIMS: The aims are to study the effect of OAGB on LFTs and to compare the effect of a biliopancreatic limb (BPL) of 150 cm (OAGB-150) to a BPL of 200 cm (OAGB-200). SETTINGS AND DESIGN: The study was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a university hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Information was obtained from our prospectively maintained database and hospital's computerised records. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: A P < 0.05 was regarded statistically significant; however, given the number of variables examined, findings should be regarded as exploratory. RESULTS: A total of 405 patients underwent an OAGB-200 (n = 234) or OAGB-150 (n = 171) in our unit between October 2012 and July 2018. There were significant improvements in gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) levels at 1 and 2 years after OAGB-200 and significant worsening in the levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and albumin at 1 and 2 years. There was a significant improvement in GGT levels at 1 and 2 years after OAGB-150 and in alanine transaminase levels at 1 year. There was a significant worsening in ALP and albumin levels at both follow-up points in this group. OAGB-150 group had a significantly lower bilirubin level at 1 year and significantly fewer abnormal ALP values at 2 years in comparison with OAGB-200 patients. CONCLUSIONS: This exploratory study demonstrates the overall safety of OAGB with regard to its effect on LFTs, with no remarkable difference between OAGB-150 and OAGB-200.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Hand-sewn gastrointestinal anastomosis during laparoscopic gastric bypass (GBP) could be performed using the conventional multifilament suture (CS) or a barbed suture (BS). This systematic review with meta-analysis aimed to assess the advantages and disadvantages of these two anastomosis alternatives. METHODS: Bibliographic search for relevant studies was performed, according to the PRISMA guidelines, to perform the systematic review with meta-analysis. RevMan was applied to analyze the data using the random effects size. RESULTS: Eight studies were eligible for analysis including 26,340 patients. These patients underwent a single gastric bypass or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. According to the available data from this systematic review with meta-analysis, BS in GBP ensures similar morbidity rate (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.82 to 1.31, p = 0.74) with shorter operative time (MD = - 7.90, 95% CI: - 12.95 to - 2.84, p = 0.002). BS is similar to CS in terms of anastomotic leak (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 0.90 to 1.73, p = 0.19), stricture (OR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.32 to 2.44, p = 0.82), bleeding (OR: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.20 to 1.86, p = 0.39), and hospital stay (MD: 0.04, 95% CI: - 0.28 to 1.86, p = 0.81). On the other way, BS is cheaper than CS. CONCLUSION: The majority of studies were retrospectives. One study included the large majority of retained patients; thus then, this comparison should be interpreted with caution. BS and CS in gastrointestinal anastomosis during GBP are feasible and safe. BS is faster and cheaper with similar postoperative outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic single anastomosis (mini-)gastric bypass (LSAGB) has been validated as a safe and effective treatment for morbid obesity. However, data of the long-term outcome remain lacking. METHODS: Between October 2001 and December 2015, 1731 morbidly obese patients who received LSAGB as primary bariatric procedure at the Min-Sheng General Hospital were recruited. Surgical outcome, weight loss, resolution of comorbidities, and late complications were followed, then compared with groups of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). All data derived from a prospective bariatric database and a retrospective analysis were conducted. RESULTS: The average patient age was 33.8 ± 10.4 years with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 40.4 ± 7.7 kg/m2. Of them, 70.0% were female while 30.0% were male. Mean operating time, intraoperative blood, and hospital stay of LSAGB were 124.6 ± 38.8 min, 39.5 ± 38.7 ml, and 5.0 ± 4.1 days, respectively. The 30-day post-operative major complication occurred in 30 (1.7%) of LSAGB patients, 16 (2.0%) of LRYGB, and 15 (1.4%) of LSG patients. The follow-up rates at 1, 5, and 10 years were 89.3, 52.1, and 43.6%, respectively. At postoperative 1, 5, and 10 years, the mean percentage of weight loss (%WL) of LSAGB patients were 32.7, 32.2, and 29.1%, and mean BMI became 27, 26.9, and 27 kg/m2, respectively. The LSAGB had a higher weight loss than LRYGB and LSG at 2-6 years after surgery. LSG had a lower remission rate in dyslipidemia comparing to LSAGB and LRYGB. The overall revision rate of LSAGB is 4.0% (70/1731) which was lower than the 5.1% in LRYGB and 5.2% in the LSG. CONCLUSION: LSAGB is an effective procedure for treating morbid obesity and metabolic disorders, which results in sustained weight loss and a high resolution of comorbidities.

BACKGROUND: Gastric bypass can be technically challenging in super-super obese patients. Both Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and one anastomosis (mini) gastric bypass (OAGB/MGB) have been described in these patients, but direct comparisons are lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare the early outcomes with these two procedures in patients with body mass index (BMI) of ≥60 kg/m2 in our unit. METHODS: We identified all super-super obese patients who underwent either OAGB/MGB or RYGB from our prospectively maintained database. Information was also obtained from the case notes and from hospital computerized records. We obtained data regarding patient demographics, operative details, complications, and weight loss, in both groups, and compared them using standard statistical methods. RESULTS: This study compares our results with 19 OAGB/MGB and 47 RYGB super-super obese patients performed in our unit between October 2012 and June 2015. OAGB/MGB group patients had a significantly higher weight and body mass index. There was no mortality or major complication in either group. There were two late complications in the OAGB/MGB group compared to six in the RYGB group. One patient in the OAGB/MGB group needed conversion to RYGB for persistent reflux symptoms. OAGB/MGB patients achieved a significantly higher EWL of 70.4% at 2 years compared to 57.1% in the RYGB group. The difference between TWL of 44.4 and 33.4%, respectively, was also significant at 2 years. TWL of 43.0 and 29.3%, respectively, in OAGB/MGB and RYGB groups at 18 months was also significantly different, but the difference in EWL at 18 months did not reach significance. CONCLUSION: One anastomosis (mini) gastric bypass yields superior weight loss at 18 and 24 months in comparison with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in patients with BMI of ≥60 kg/m2. Findings need confirmation in larger randomized studies.

Obesity is an emerging worldwide health care issue. It has a direct and indirect bearing on health-related outcomes. Rates of overweight and obesity have grown manifold in the past few decades globally. Once considered a problem of the affluent societies only, obesity is now dramatically on the rise in low- and middle-income countries also. Single anastomosis gastric bypass (SAGB) is one of the combined bariatric procedures adopted for weight loss in patients failing maximal medical therapy. Internal hernia (IH) after SAGB is a less recognized clinical entity. We hereby report our experience with four such cases under light of current available literature. Bariatric procedures are associated with some short- and long-term limitations. IHs are among one of the dreaded complications associated with some bariatric procedures with rates reaching up to 16% after classic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The incidence of IH post-SAGB is comparatively rare and is very less frequently reported. Symptoms of IH post-SAGB are quite nonspecific and depend on the time and extent of herniation. The symptoms can vary from benign intermittent colicky pain to severe intra-abdominal pain presenting as a surgical emergency. Routine physical examination and biochemical investigations are nonspecific and unreliable in evaluating those patients. Computed tomography (CT) with intravenous and oral contrast is the most common imaging modality used for preoperative evaluation of those symptoms. The CT findings can be unremarkable in patients having intermittent symptoms/herniation. Diagnostic laparoscopy is the cornerstone for diagnosis and management of patients having high suspicion of IH.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND/AIM: Long-term gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) after gastric bypass for obesity is underestimated. The present study aimed to evaluate the rate of treated GERD and the factors influencing it in a cohort of patients who underwent gastric bypass. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients who underwent one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) as a primary bariatric procedure between 2010 and 2011 at a French private referral center were included in the study. The primary endpoint was the 10-year prevalence of GERD. RESULTS: In total, 422 patients underwent RYGB and 334 underwent OAGB with a biliopancreatic limb of 150 cm. The mean age was 38.9±11.3 years, and 81.6% of patients were female; the mean preoperative body mass index was 42.8±5 kg/m2 Preoperative GERD was diagnosed in 40.8% of patients in the total cohort, 31.7% in the RYGB group versus 49.1% in the OAGB group (p<0.0001). At 10-year follow-up, the rate of GERD was 21.1%, with no difference between the two groups. Remission of preoperative GERD and de novo GERD were comparable between the two types of bypass. Surgery for GERD resistant to medical treatment was more frequent in the OAGB group. At multivariate analysis, factors significantly correlated with long-term GERD were: Preoperative GERD, total weight loss at 120 months <25%, glycemic imbalances and anastomotic ulcers. CONCLUSION: Identification and correction of modifiable factors may help reduce the incidence of long-term GERD.

PURPOSE: Single anastomosis gastric bypass (SAGB) offers a novel bariatric procedure with increasing popularity. However, its adoption, patient selection, and short-term safety remain poorly characterized. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The 2020 Metabolic and Bariatric Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) was analyzed comparing SAGB to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Bivariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression models compared difference between groups and factors associated with 30-day serious complications and mortality. RESULTS: Overall, 47,384 patients were evaluated, with 1344 (2.8%) undergoing SAGB. SAGB patients had a higher BMI (45.2 ± 7.6 kg/m2 vs 44.6 ± 7.9 kg/m2, p = 0.006) and younger age (44.3 ± 12.1 years vs. 45.4 ± 11.5 years, p = 0.0008) than RYGB patients respectively. SAGB patients were less likely to have GERD (42.6% SAGB vs. 45.7% RYGB, p = 0.02), sleep apnea (37.8% SAGB vs. 41.1% RYGB, p = 0.02), and chronic steroid use (1.3% SAGB vs. 2.2% RYGB, p = 0.04). There were no significant difference in diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidemia rates. Operative length for SAGB was significantly less than for RYGB (101 ± 53.7 min SAGB vs. 131.5 ± 63.3 min RYGB, p < 0.0001). SAGB was independently associated with decreased serious complications (4.7% vs. 8.4%, p < 0.0001) within 30 days compared to RYGB. Additionally, SAGB patients were less likely to experience reoperation (1.6% vs. 2.6%, p = 0.03), and readmission (2.2 vs. 5.8%, p < 0.0001) compared to RYGB respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Compared to RYGB, patients undergoing SAGB were younger with marginally higher BMI. After adjusting for comorbidities, SAGB was associated with decreased odds of serious complications. Ongoing prospective studies analyzing long-term outcomes following SAGB remain needed.

Marginal ulcers are a recognized complication of gastric bypass procedures for obesity. Perforated marginal ulcer (PMU) is a life-threatening complication of marginal ulcers. We performed a systematic review to understand the presentation, management, and outcomes of PMUs. PubMed, Google Scholar, and Embase databases were searched to identify all studies on PMUs after gastric bypass procedures. A total of 610 patients were identified from 26 articles. The mean age was 39.8±2.59 years, and females represented most of the cohort (67%). The mean body mass index was 43.2±5.67 kg/m2. Most of the patients had undergone a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (98%). The time gap between the primary bariatric surgery and the diagnosis of PMU was 27.5±8.56 months. The most common presenting symptom was abdominal pain (99.5%) and a computed tomography scan was the diagnostic modality used in 72% of the patients. Only 15% of patients were on prophylactic proton pump inhibitors or H2 blockers at the time of perforation, and 41% of patients were smoking at the time. Twenty-three percent of patients were on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Laparoscopic omental patch repair of the perforation (59%) was the most used technique; 18% of patients underwent open surgery, and 20% were managed non-surgically. Thirty-day mortality was 0.97%; it was 1.21% (n=5) and 0% (n=0) in those who were managed surgically and nonsurgically, respectively. Ulcers recurred in 5% of patients. In conclusion, PMU is a surgical emergency after gastric bypass that can result in significant morbidity and even mortality. This is the first systematic review in scientific literature characterizing this condition.

BACKGROUND: Reoperation is often required after bariatric procedures. Single-anastomosis gastric bypass (SAGB) is increasingly utilized as a primary bariatric procedure. Few series document SAGB as a revisional bariatric procedure. OBJECTIVES: To describe our short-term experience with revisional SAGB, focusing on weight loss and reflux symptom outcomes. SETTING: Three hospitals in Australia with both private and public (government funded) patients. METHODS: We reviewed all revisional SAGB cases from 2012 to 2019 at. Complications were considered significant if they were Clavien-Dindo grade 3a or higher. A phone survey was conducted to assess weight loss outcomes, patient satisfaction, reflux symptoms, and other complications. RESULTS: We identified 254 patients who had a revisional bariatric procedure to SAGB (21 previous sleeve gastrectomies and 233 previous adjustable bands), with a mean follow-up of 22 ± 15.6 months (range, 1-55 mo). The mean percentage of excess weight loss was 77% (183 patients, 72%), and the number of patients with follow-ups at 1 and 4 years was 184 (73%) and 35 patients (14%). Within 30 days, there were 29 patients (11%) who required reinterventions (21 endoscopies, 1 interventional radiology procedure, and 7 reoperations) with no deaths. Beyond 30 days, 27 patients (11%) required rerevision to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for reflux symptoms and 10 (4%) required a laparotomy or laparoscopy for another reason (e.g., bowel obstruction). At a median follow-up of 36.6 months, 87 patients (34%) completed a phone survey, 45 (52%) of whom were taking proton pump inhibitors and 66 patients (76%) of whom were satisfied with their experience. CONCLUSION: In our series, revision to SAGB was safe, with low short-term morbidity and favorable weight loss outcomes. However, beyond 1 year, a large proportion of patients experienced severe reflux symptoms and required rerevision.

INTRODUCTION: There is little data on the effect of one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) on haematinics, vitamin D and parathyroid hormone levels. It is further unclear if an OAGB with a bilio-pancreatic limb (BPL) of 150 cm (OAGB-150) would deliver better outcomes than that with a BPL of 200 cm (OAGB-200). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated our records to obtain information on patients who underwent an OAGB-200 or OAGB-150 until 31st July 2018 in our unit. RESULTS: A total of 405 patients underwent either an OAGB-200 (n = 234) or OAGB-150 (n = 171). The mean age was 46 ± 10.98 years and 276 (68.1%) were females. The mean preoperative weight and the body mass index (BMI) were 139 ± 29.96 kg and 49 ± 8.14 kg/m2 respectively. With OAGB-200, there was a significant increase in anaemia rates at 1 and 2 years compared to preoperative levels with a significant fall in haemoglobin levels. After OAGB-150, there was a significant fall in haemoglobin levels at 1 and 2 years but the increase in anaemia rate was only significant at 2 years. There was a significant increase in PTH levels and the number of abnormal values at 1 and 2 years with OAGB-200. With OAGB-150, PTH changes were significant at 2 years only. CONCLUSION: We found that both OAGB-200 and OAGB-150 are associated with a significant increase in anaemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Our findings should prompt the evaluation of supplementation protocols with higher dosages than we recommend for iron, folate and calcium. Consideration should also be given to evaluating shorter BPL lengths than 150 cm with OAGB.

The single-anastomosis gastric bypass has been proposed as a simpler and efficient weight loss reducing surgery. Postoperative outcomes are comparable to those of contemporary popular procedures. There are, however, controversies regarding the efficiency and risks of one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). The purpose of this review is to define the role of OAGB in metabolic surgery via its operative outcomes. A review of English language literature was performed using the PubMed database, basing the search on the following keywords: "one-anastomosis gastric bypass" AND "outcomes". A total of 238 articles were considered for review. Following thorough screening and selection criteria, 7 articles were considered sufficient for assessment. The nature of the available evidence of this technique poses a challenge to OAGB in its establishment as a standard of care procedure. The anatomical configuration following surgery, as well as the metabolic implications of its hypo-absorptive nature, raises controversial and ongoing concerns that are yet to be addressed. Hence, prospective studies with long-term follow-up (>5 years) can bypass these concerns and allow the progression of the clinical practice of OAGB.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that shortening the biliopancreatic limb (BPL) length with one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) to 150 cm would reduce the revision rates for malnutrition. But, it remains unclear if this would not compromise the efficacy of this procedure. METHODS: We examined our prospectively maintained database to compare the outcomes of patients who had their OAGB performed with a 150-cm BPL with those performed with a 200-cm BPL. RESULTS: Medium-term weight loss data at 18-24 months was available for 343/398 (86.1% follow-up) patients. Of these, 225 had undergone OAGB-200 and 118 had undergone OAGB-150. The mean preoperative weight and body mass index were 141.6 ± 32.8 kg and 49.76 ± 8.6 kg/m2, respectively, in the OAGB-200 group compared with 133.7 ± 24.5 kg and 47.83 ± 7.2 kg/m2, respectively, in the OAGB-150 group. There was no significant difference in albumin and haemoglobin levels in the two groups at 18-month follow-up. The mean excess weight loss was 75.0% ± 20.1 in the OAGB-200 group and 74.0% ± 22.0 in the OAGB-150 group (p = 0.6714). A total of 89.7% (n = 202) patients achieved an excess weight loss (EWL) of ≥ 50.0% in the OAGB-200 group compared with 85.5% (n = 103) in the OAGB-150 group (p value = 0.4754). The mean total weight loss was 36.1% ± 9.2 in the OAGB-200 group compared with 34.0% ± 9.8 in the OAGB-150 group (p value = 0.0598). CONCLUSIONS: OAGB performed with a BPL of 150 cm delivers weight loss outcomes similar to that seen with a BPL of 200 cm.

Bariatric surgery may increase the risk of iron, vitamin B12, folate and copper deficiencies, which can cause anaemia. This review aims to critique the evidence on the prevalence of these nutritional deficiencies and the impact on anaemia in the first 12 months after surgery. PRISMA and MOOSE frameworks, the NHMRC evidence hierarchy and The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics bias tool were used to systematically critique current literature. Seventeen studies reported on deficiency prevalence with the majority being of low quality. Important confounders to serum micronutrient levels were not adequately considered. Results on the prevalence of nutritional anaemias were also lacking. Further investigation into the prevalence of iron, vitamin B12, folate and copper deficiency and its impact on anaemia in bariatric surgery is needed.

INTRODUCTION: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is an emerging bariatric procedure, which has been reported to be safe and effective. This study aims to evaluate the short-term outcome of OAGB and its midterm effects on weight loss and remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of patients who had undergone OAGB between January 2013 and January 2017 in King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is presented here. Patients' perioperative characteristics, biochemical profile (fasting blood glucose, HbA1c and iron profile) and details on subsequent weight loss in terms of body mass index (BMI) and excess weight loss percentage (EWL%) along with early and late postoperative complications were evaluated. RESULTS: Out of the 47 patients who underwent OAGB, 42 were included in this study and completed the 2-year follow-up. Average operative time was 107±21.3 minutes and average length of hospital stay was 2.5±0.53 days. Mean preoperative BMI was 47.6±9.1 kg/m2, and at 1 and 2 years of follow-up, it was 30.5±7.4 and 27.1±5.1, respectively. No mortality, anastomotic leak or bleeding were reported. Most common midterm complication was iron deficiency anemia (n=7/42). Remission of T2DM at 6 months was 80%. Patients with preoperative T2DM for less than 10 years showed better remission (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Our analysis suggests that OAGB is a safe and effective weight loss procedure that carries low perioperative risk and acceptable nutritional complications in the midterm, with a notable remission of T2DM. Preoperative duration of T2DM plays a major role in achieving remission after OAGB.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is considered a chronic progressive incurable metabolic disease. Single-anastomosis gastric bypass (SAGB) has proved to be effective in obese patients, yet its impact on non-obese diabetics is not extensively studied. The aim is to determine the anthropometric and glycemic outcomes of SAGB as a proposed line of treatment for T2DM patients with body mass index (BMI) 25-30 kg/m2. METHODS: From November 2013 to March 2016, a prospective study has been conducted at Ain-Shams University Hospitals on 17 consecutive patients who have undergone SAGB. The demographic and anthropometric data, as well as the relevant laboratory results, were reported. Complete T2DM remission is considered if glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <6 % for at least 1 year without medication, whereas partial remission is considered if HbA1c<6.5%. RESULTS: The mean age was 42.6 ±13.8 years, mean BMI was 26.7 ± 2.3 kg/m2 and mean duration of DM was 6.3 ± 2.7 years. The mean baseline values of HbA1c, FPG (fasting plasma glucose), and 2-hours postprandial glucose (2-H PPG) were 9.9%, 176.3 mg/dl, and 310.3 mg/dl respectively. These values significantly dropped at the 18th month to reach 5.8%, 93.4 mg/dl, and 156.2 mg/dl, with 13/17 patients became off-treatment (complete remission rate 76.4%). CONCLUSION: T2DM patients with BMI 25-30 kg/m2 are considered the most controversial group. SAGB is an efficient metabolic procedure and could be integrated into the treatment algorithm of T2DM. Such line of treatment opens new horizons to change the concept of treatment from diabetes remedy to diabetes remission.

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic single anastomosis gastric bypass (SAGB) is increasingly performed for morbidly obese patients. AIM OF WORK: This pilot study aims primarily at evaluating the incidence of bile gastritis after SAGB. The occurrence of reflux oesophagitis and reflux symptoms were also assessed. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included 20 patients having no reflux symptoms. All patients underwent a SAGB as a primary bariatric procedure by a single surgeon. Patients included consented to have an upper GI endoscopy done at 6 months postoperatively. Gastric aspirate was sent for bilirubin level assessment. Gastric and esophageal biopsies were submitted for histopathology and campylobacter-like organism (CLO) test. RESULTS: In our study, the rate of bile gastritis was 30%. In 18 patients, the level of bilirubin in gastric aspirate seems to be related to the degree of mucosal inflammation. The remaining two patients had microscopic moderate to severe gastritis with normal aspirate bilirubin level. Two patients with bilirubin level in aspirate more than 20 mg/dl had severe oesophagitis, gastritis with erosions, and metaplasia. Relationship between bilirubin level and histopathological findings of gastric biopsy examination was statistically significant with a P value of 0.001. CONCLUSION: The incidence of bile gastritis in this cohort is higher than reported in the literature, and this may be worrying. The correlation between endoscopic findings and patients' symptoms is poor. Bilirubin level and pH in aspirate might be useful tools to confirm alkaline reflux. Its level might help to choose candidates for revision surgery after SAGB. This needs further validation with larger sample size.

BACKGROUND: Single anastomosis gastric bypass (SaGB) was introduced in 2001 as an alternative to "loop" gastric bypass. It was considered as a procedure that would eliminate alkaline reflux and associated esophagitis. OBJECTIVES: Existing evidence about the postoperative incidence of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) after SaGB is based on studies using symptom questionnaires. The aim of our study was to evaluate GERD 12 months after SaGB by using 24-hour multichannel intraluminal impedance pH metry (24-h MIIpH). SETTING: Surgical department of a university hospital METHODS: Morbidly obese candidates for SaGB underwent 24-hour MIIpH prior and 12 months after their bariatric procedure. RESULTS: There were 11 patients included in this prospective study. Results of 24-hour MIIpH revealed that DeMeester score (40.48 versus 24.16, P = .339) had an increasing trend 12 months after SaGB. Acid reflux episodes decreased, whereas nonacid reflux episodes increased postoperatively, both in proximal and distal esophagus. Total median bolus clearance time and acid clearance time increased. De novo GERD developed in 2 patients (28.6%) and worsening of already existing GERD developed in all patients with preoperative evidence of GERD. CONCLUSION: The use of symptom questionnaires to assess postoperative GERD after SaGB may not accurately depict the real image. Twenty-four-hour MIIpH in 12 months after SaGB revealed an increase of total number of nonacid reflux episodes and a decrease of total number of acid reflux episodes, with longer duration of each acid reflux episode. Close postoperative follow-up with reflux testing and possibly endoscopy could eliminate the risk of complicated GERD.

BACKGROUND: Ten to 50% of patients who received restrictive bariatric operations may require reoperation for unsatisfactory weight loss or weight regain. Failed restrictive procedures are usually managed with conversion to another bariatric procedure with a favor of conversion to laparoscopic gastric bypass. Our aim is to evaluate two different bypass techniques, laparoscopic RY gastric bypass (RYGB) versus single-anastomosis (mini-) gastric bypass (SAGB) as a revision option (R-RYGB and R-SAGB) for failed restrictive bariatric operations. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From May 2001 to December 2015, a total of 116 patients with failed restrictive bariatric operations underwent laparoscopic revisional bypass surgery (81 R-SAGB and 35 R-RYGB). Among them, 81 were failed after vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) and 35 were after adjustable gastric band (AGB). The demographic data, surgical parameters, and outcomes were studied. RESULTS: The average age at revision surgery was 35.7 years (range 22-56), and the average body mass index (BMI) before reoperation was 37.2 kg/m2 (29.0-51.8). Revision surgery was performed after 58.8 months from the primary surgery on average (14-180 months). The main reasons for the revisions were weight regain (50.9%), inadequate weight loss (31%), and intolerance (18.1%). All of the procedures were completed laparoscopically as one-stage procedure. R-RYGB had significantly longer operative times than R-SAGB. Major complication occurred in 12 (10%) patients without significant difference between R-SAGB group and R-RYGB group. At 1 year follow-up, weight loss was better in R-SAGB than R-RYGB (76.8 vs. 32.9% EWL; p = 0.001). At 5 year follow-up, a significantly lower hemoglobin level was found in R-SAGB group (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: Both SAGB and RYGB are acceptable options for revising a restrictive type of bariatric procedures with equal safety profile. R-SAGB was shown to be a simpler procedure with better weight reduction than R-RYGB but anemia is a considerable complication at long-term follow-up.

BACKGROUND: There is currently little evidence available on the perioperative practices concerning one anastomosis/mini gastric bypass (OAGB/MGB) and no published consensus amongst experts. Even the published papers are not clear on these aspects. The purpose of this study was to understand various perioperative practices concerning OAGB/MGB. METHODS: Bariatric surgeons from around the world were invited to participate in a questionnaire-based survey. Only surgeons performing this procedure were included. RESULTS: Two hundred and ten surgeons from 39 countries with a cumulative experience of 68,442 procedures took the survey. Surgeons described a large number of absolute (n = 55) and relative contraindications (n = 59) to this procedure in their practice. Approximately 71.0% (n = 148/208), 70.0% (n = 147/208) and 65.0% (n = 137/209), respectively, routinely perform a preoperative endoscopy, screening for Helicobacter pylori and ultrasound scan of the abdomen. A minority (35.0%, n = 74/208) of the surgeons used a constant bilio-pancreatic limb (BPL) length for all the patients with remaining preferring to tailor the limb length to the patient and approximately half (49.0%, n = 101/206) routinely approximate diaphragmatic crura in patients with hiatus hernia. Some 48.5% (n = 101/208) and 40.0% (n = 53/205) surgeons, respectively, do not recommend routine iron and calcium supplementation. CONCLUSION: This survey is the first attempt to understand a range of perioperative practices with OAGB/MGB. The findings will help in identifying areas for future research and allow consensus building amongst experts with preparation of guidelines for future practice.
