Article Synopsis
- Single anastomotic surgeries can lead to issues like bile reflux and marginal ulcers, and Braun anastomosis may help reduce these risks after certain surgeries.
- A pilot study analyzed the effectiveness of Braun anastomosis in 28 SASI bypass patients, comparing those with and without the procedure.
- Results indicated that those with Braun anastomosis had significantly lower rates of bile reflux and reflux esophagitis, but the difference in complications was not statistically significant, suggesting more research is needed.
Introduction: No standard of anatomical variables, including stoma size, limb length, pouch size, and volume, has been determined for laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass yet. Herein, we evaluated the effect of two different techniques for creating the gastric pouch on short-term postoperative weight loss.
Methods: This retrospective cohort was conducted on patients with a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass history from January 2019 to September 2020.
Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) pandemic may influence the weight outcomes of bariatric surgeries (BS). Here, we intended to compare the weight outcome of patients who underwent BS before and during the pandemic time.
Methods: In a retrospective, single-center study, the information of two groups of patients; first COVID-19 group (n = 51) consisted of those that underwent BS during the pandemic and completed a year of follow-up, second non-COVID-19 group included 50 patients who underwent BS and were followed up before the pandemic.
Purpose: The present study aimed to compare two newly introduced procedures, single anastomosis sleeve jejunal (SASJ) with ileal (SASI) bypass in terms of weight loss, remission of obesity-associated medical problems, complications, and nutritional status.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study was carried out with 162 patients who underwent single anastomosis sleeve gastrointestinal bypass from October 2017 to September 2021, either single anastomosis sleeve jejunal bypass (SASJ) or single anastomosis sleeve ileal bypass (SASI). The main outcome measures were weight loss and improvement in obesity-associated medical problems, nutritional status, and complications at 12 months post-surgery.
