Introduction
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become the most performed bariatric procedure as of 2015. However, inadequate weight loss may present the need for revisional procedures.
Objectives
The objective of this study was to analyze the efficacy of single-anastomosis gastric bypass (SAGB) in attaining successful weight loss following an initial LSG.
Methods
A retrospective analysis was performed on all patients who underwent LSG at Amiri Hospital, Kuwait from 2008 to 2017. A list was obtained of those who underwent revisional SAGB surgery after initial LSG, and their demographics were analyzed.
Results
A total of 31 patients underwent revisional SAGB bariatric surgery after initial LSG, of which 87.1% were female. Prior to LSG, the mean weight of the patients was 127.5 kg and the mean BMI was 49.0 kg/m2. The mean weight loss after initial LSG was 43.8 kg, while the average duration until patients underwent revisional SAGB was 5.1 years. The cause for revision was weight regain (86.2%), inadequate weight loss (10.3%), or the development of a complication (reflux) (6.5%). Prior to undergoing revisional SAGB, the weight and BMI of the patients were 110.9 kg and 42.6 kg/m2, respectively. This demonstrated a %excess weight loss of 14.5, 31.9, 48.0, and 58.9% 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1-year post-SAGB, respectively. Three (10.3%) morbidities were reported and thereafter successfully resolved.
Conclusion
Revisional SAGB bariatric surgery is a safe and effective method in the short-term basis for the management of inadequate primary LSG.
