From Our One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) Experience to Establishing Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal (SASI) Bypass Procedure: A Single-Center Report

Abstract

Background: Bariatric surgery has been proven to be the most effective treatment for obesity with or without metabolic syndrome. One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is a well-established bariatric procedure developed over the past 20 years with excellent outcomes. Single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass is introduced as a novel bariatric and metabolic procedure. There is some similarity between these two operations. This study aimed to present our SASI procedure based on the past experience of the OAGB in our center.

Method: Thirty patients with obesity underwent SASI surgery from March 2021 to June 2022. Herein, we demonstrated our techniques step by step and key points of techniques learned from our experience with OAGB (shown in the video) with satisfying surgical outcomes. The clinical characteristics, peri-operative variables, and short-term outcomes were reviewed.

Results: There was no case of conversion to open surgery. The mean operative time, volume of blood loss, and hospital stay were 135.2 ± 39.2 min, 16.5 ± 6.2 mL, and 3.6 ± 0.8 days, respectively. There is no postoperative leakage, bleeding, or mortality. The percentage of total weight loss and excess weight loss at 6 months were 31.2 ± 6.5 and 75.3 ± 14.9, respectively. Improvement in type 2 diabetes (11/11, 100%), hypertension (14/26, 53.8%), dyslipidemia (16/21, 76.2%), and obstructive sleep apnea (9/11, 81.8%) were observed at 6 months after surgery.

Conclusion: Our experience showed that our proposed SASI technique is feasible and may help surgeons perform this promising bariatric procedure without encountering many obstacles.
