Background: It has been observed that 5-8% of primary bariatric procedures result in inadequate treatment response, necessitating the need for revisional surgery. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to compare the effectiveness of single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) in addressing weight recurrence following sleeve gastrectomy.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases.
Purpose: Diverting Loop Ileostomy (DLI) with intraoperative colonic lavage has emerged as a potential alternative to Total Abdominal Colectomy (TAC) for treating Fulminant Clostridium Difficile Colitis (FCDC). This study aims to provide an updated review comparing DLI with TAC in managing FCDC.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Embase to identify retrospective and prospective studies comparing DLI with TAC for fulminant CDC treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal (SASI) bypass is a new bariatric surgery intended to balance weight loss effectiveness while maintaining the body's anatomy and hormonal functions.
- A meta-analysis of 26 studies with 1,873 patients showed significant weight loss results after 12 months, with mean % Excess Weight Loss at 84.13% and % Total Weight Loss at 35.17%, as well as an 88.28% remission rate for type 2 diabetes.
- Although the SASI bypass shows promise as a viable option for patients, further research is needed to evaluate its long-term effectiveness.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the outcomes of revisional procedures, namely Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) following unsuccessful laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Materials And Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis included 817 patients (404 in OAGB group, 413 in RYGB group) from seven retrospective comparative studies. Data on sample size, demographics, perioperative complications, operative time, pre- and post-revisional body mass index, total weight loss, and global weight loss over follow-up were extracted.
Purpose: In recent years, the need for revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) procedures has experienced a noteworthy surge to confront complexities and weight recidivism. Despite being a subject of controversy for many, the utilization of the Da Vinci robotic platform (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.) may present benefits in RBS.

Owing to aging and comorbid medical conditions, older adults are at increased risk of adverse effects from alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drug use. Preventative measures, regular screening, and appropriate intervention can protect older adults from the negative outcomes of substance use and potentially improve their quality of life.
