Background: On the basis of our extensive experience in same-day discharge (SDD) sleeve gastrectomy, we extended this management strategy to anastomotic metabolic and bariatric surgeries (MBS).
Objectives: To retrospectively analyze early outcomes (≤30 d) after anastomotic MBS with planned SDD (≤12 hr).
Setting: University Hospital, Canada; Public Practice.
Purpose: Mastering intracorporeal suturing is challenging in the evolution from conventional to laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Among various techniques competing for superiority in overcoming this hurdle, we focus on exploring the potential of barbed sutures through a meta-analysis that compares outcomes to those of conventional non-barbed sutures in bariatric surgery.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search on PubMed, Scopus, and Embase to identify studies comparing barbed sutures with non-barbed sutures in bariatric surgeries, focusing on outcomes such as operative time, suturing time, postoperative complications, and hospital stay.
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.
