Fifteen Years After Sleeve Gastrectomy: Weight Loss, Remission of Associated Medical Problems, Quality of Life, and Conversions to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass-Long-Term Follow-Up in a Multicenter Study.

Purpose: Since 2014, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has been the most frequently performed bariatric-metabolic operation worldwide (2018: 386,096). There are only a few studies reporting a long-term follow-up (up to 11 years) available today. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of SG with a follow-up of at least 15 years regarding weight loss, remission of associated medical problems (AMP), conversions, and quality of life (QOL).

Bariatric Surgery-How Much Malabsorption Do We Need?-A Review of Various Limb Lengths in Different Gastric Bypass Procedures.

The number of obese individuals worldwide continues to increase every year, thus, the number of bariatric/metabolic operations performed is on a constant rise as well. Beside exclusively restrictive procedures, most of the bariatric operations have a more or less malabsorptive component. Several different bypass procedures exist alongside each other today and each type of bypass is performed using a distinct technique.

Surgical Technique for One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass.

.Laparoscopic One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) is a bariatric procedure that combines the principles of restriction and malabsorption, which are achieved by creating a long and narrow gastric pouch and bypassing part of the small bowel (duodenum and part of the jejunum). It is currently the third most common bariatric procedure worldwide; more than19,000 operations (4.

Stapling Through a Bougie During Sleeve Gastrectomy in a Superobese Patient-a Video Vignette.

Purpose: Bariatric-metabolic surgery in superobese patients (BMI > 50 kg/m) is very challenging indeed with little room for error. In many cases, a two-step procedure is required, since more complex primary bariatric procedures can be technically demanding and bearing a relevant risk for the patient. At our institution, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the preferred primary procedure, followed by a conversion to either SADI-S or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) after initial weight loss is achieved [1, 2].

Swallow Magnetic Resonance Imaging Compared to 3D-Computed Tomography for Pouch Assessment and Hiatal Hernias After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Introduction/purpose: Weight regain and weight loss failure after bariatric surgery are important issues that may require a weight regain procedure. Three-dimensional-computed tomography (3D-CT) is a well-established method allowing exact measurements of pouch volume. The aims of this study were to prove the applicability of swallow MRI as a non-ionizing procedure and compare it to 3D-CT in patients after weight regain procedures following RYGB.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass as a Treatment for Barrett's Esophagus after Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most frequently performed bariatric procedure today. While an increasing number of long-term studies report the occurrence of Barrett's esophagus (BE) after SG, its treatment has not been studied, yet.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) as treatment for BE and reflux after SG.
