Article Synopsis
  • SASI (single anastomosis sleeve ileal) bypass is effective for significant weight loss in obese patients, averaging 90.1% excess weight loss over a 26-month follow-up.
  • However, there are potential risks of nutritional deficiencies, as 25% of patients developed anemia and 5% experienced iron deficiency post-surgery.
  • Monitoring iron levels and anemia is crucial after the procedure, given that changes in limb length during the bypass don't notably affect hemoglobin or iron levels.

The study aimed to evaluate the mid-term weight loss outcomes and complications of revisional one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) following failed laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). A total of 586 patients underwent LSG from January 2010 to February 2018. Revisional OAGB (rOAGB) was performed in 22 (3.

Purpose: The variables possibly enabling the prediction of gastric wall thickness during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy remain undetermined. The aim of the study was to identify preoperative factors affecting gastric wall thickness in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Methods: The measurements of the double-wall thickness of gastric specimen excised during sleeve gastrectomy were taken at three locations after 15 s of compression with an applied pressure of 8 g/mm.
