Laparoscopic Conversion of Single-Anastomosis Duodenal Switch (SADI-S) to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass With Concurrent Paraesophageal Hernia Repair for Refractory Biliary Reflux and Paraesophageal Hernia

Abstract

Single-anastomosis duodenal switch (SADI-S) is effective for weight loss with low reported rates of complications. Bile reflux into the stomach or esophagus is an uncommonly reported complication but can lead to significant symptoms for patients suffering from this complication. Concurrent paraesophageal hernia can exacerbate the symptoms of biliary reflux gastritis. We present a case report describing the management of biliary reflux gastritis with concurrent paraesophageal hernia, our decision-making process, and technical pearls and possible pitfalls.
