Abstract
Background
Single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) Bypass has recently emerged as a novel surgical technique. The purpose of this study is evaluating the efficacy and feasibility of our SASI technique.
Methods
Between April 2018 and February 2020, 83 patients underwent SASI bypass at our center. A retrospective analysis was performed. Forty-three patients (51.8%) completed follow-up at 12 months.
Results
Average BMI at 12 months, change in BMI, and %EWL were 28.2 ± 4.5 kg/m2, 13.5 ± 5.7 kg/m2, and 85.6% respectively. From the 25 patients evaluated, diabetes remission occurred in 95.8% of them. There were 4 (4.8%) Clavien—Dindo (CD) I, 5 (6.0%) CD II, and 2 (2.4%) CD IIIb complications.
Conclusions
SASI bypass offers excellent weight loss and comorbidities resolution. As expected, higher-quality studies are needed.
