Single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal - new revision procedure in a patient with insufficient weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy

Abstract

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most popular and effective bariatric surgical procedures worldwide. The effect of LSG is mostly dependent on the restrictive mechanism, which makes it more vulnerable to failure. Failing of bariatric procedure is not uncommon and occurs in 6% to 23%. In case of weight loss failure, there are no hard recommendations on the choice of the redo procedure. One of the most novel options, introduced in 2007, relatively simple to perform following LSG is single-anastomosis duodenoileal bypass. Herein we describe surgical technique and history of a patient with inadequate weight loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, who underwent single-anastomosis duodenoileal bypass.
