Background: The incidence of obesity and related metabolic disorders in India and that of stomach carcinoma is one of the highest in the world. Hence, one requires a procedure that allows postoperative surveillance of the stomach with the best outcomes in terms of weight control and resolution of co-morbidities. Here, we compare one such procedure, duodenojejunal bypass with sleeve against the standard Roux-en Y gastric bypass.

Methods: Fifty-seven patients who were selected for a bypass procedure were randomized into two groups of laparoscopic duodenojejunal bypass with sleeve (DJB) and laparoscopic Roux en Y gastric bypass. The limb lengths were similar in both the groups, and the sleeve was done over a 36F bougie.

Results: The mean body mass index and percent excess weight loss at the end of 3, 6, and 12 months between the groups were not statistically significant. The operating times were higher in the DJB group. The rate of resolution of diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemias were also similar with no statistical significance. There was 100% resolution of dyslipidemias in both groups. There was one patient in the DJB group who presented with internal herniation 1 month post-op and was managed surgically. There was no mortality in both the groups.

Conclusion: Laparoscopic duodenojejunal with sleeve gastrectomy, a procedure which combines the principles and advantages of sleeve gastrectomy and foregut hypothesis, is a safe and effective alternative to gastric bypass in weight reduction and resolution of co-morbidities especially for Asian countries. But, long-term follow-up is required.

Article Synopsis
  • A 79-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital due to a month-long history of melena (bloody stools) and anemia caused by chronic gastrointestinal bleeding from cavernous hemangiomatosis in the small bowel.
  • She underwent two surgical procedures: an initial laparoscopic jejunal-ileal resection followed by a laparotomic duodenojejunal resection due to ongoing anemia.
  • Cavernous hemangiomatosis is a rare condition (7-10% of benign small bowel tumors) that often causes bleeding; diagnosis may involve various imaging techniques, and surgical resection is the preferred treatment method when feasible, considering the risks of extensive surgeries.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates dietary intake among Indian patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent bariatric surgeries (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and duodeno-jejunal bypass) due to rising obesity and diabetes rates in India.
  • Conducted with 64 patients over a 12-month period, the research utilized a 24-hour dietary recall method to collect data pre- and post-surgery, highlighting significant changes in dietary habits.
  • Results showed both surgical groups experienced notable weight loss and improved blood sugar levels, particularly the DJB-SG group, with a considerable reduction in calorie-dense foods and essential nutrients such as iron and vitamins post-surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • Loop duodenojejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (LDJBSG) is a weight-loss surgery that can also resolve obesity-related health issues, but there's limited information on reoperations following the procedure.
  • In a study of 337 LDJBSG patients, only 3% required reoperative surgery, with complications occurring both early (within days) and late (after months), leading to various conversion procedures.
  • The study found that while LDJBSG has low rates of needing reoperations, any conversion surgery should be done by highly skilled surgical teams due to potential complications and technical challenges.
