Objective:

To compare long-term outcomes of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI-S) as revisional surgeries for weight regain after sleeve gastrectomy, highlighting the clinical significance of this comparison.

Key Findings:
  • Both RYGB and SADI-S were effective as revisional procedures, with specific metrics on weight loss and symptom control.
  • Long-term data on weight loss durability and GERD symptom control were limited, necessitating further research.
  • Nutritional safety concerns were raised for SADI-S due to potential micronutrient deficiencies, particularly in long-term follow-up.
Interpretation:

The choice between RYGB and SADI-S should consider individual patient complaints and long-term outcomes, including weight loss, nutritional safety, and the implications for clinical practice.

Limitations:
  • Retrospective design may introduce bias, and potential confounding factors were not fully addressed.
  • Limited sample size and follow-up duration may affect the generalizability of the findings.
Conclusion:

This study emphasizes the need for individualized approaches in selecting revisional bariatric surgery, highlighting the importance of long-term data for both RYGB and SADI-S in clinical decision-making.
