Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation for Hiatus Hernia and De Novo Gerd after Sleeve Gastrectomy

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become the most popular bariatric surgical procedure owing to its safety, reproducibility and effectiveness. However, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with or without hiatal hernia is diagnosed at an alarming rate after LSG. Revisional surgery and conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) does not guarantee total reflux control and is associated with morbidity. Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) combined with crural repair is an alternative therapeutic option as a concurrent or remedial procedure in LSG, but current clinical evidence is still limited.

Abstract Background Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) has been proved to be effective bariatric procedure for the treatment of morbidly obese patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In contrast, the indication for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in these group of patients is still not clear. LSG with simultaneous crural repair it can be a new, safe and effective therapautic approach. Methods A total of 60 obese patients with GERD operated on in 2016–2018 were included in the study. 20 patients were qualified for LRYBG. In the rest LSG was performed, of which half with simultaneous crural repair. Results GERD symptoms complete control was observed in 18/20 (90%) patients after LRYGB and 17/20 (85%) after LSG with simultaneous crural repair. The same effect occurred only in 8/20 patients direct after simple LSG. ‘De novo’ GERD symptoms developed in 10% of the patients undergoing alone LSG during 12 months follow up. Conclusion Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is still effective bariatric procedure for the treatment of morbidly obese patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Doubts remain in the situation of young patients without diabetes. If we additionally deal with a large hiatal hernia, the qualification for LRYGB remains debatable. In this situation, it is worth considering LSG. Simple sleeve gastrectomy not only does not guarantee a good anti-reflux effect, but it can also produce de-novo GERD. Laparoscopic simultanous crurolasty in the time of LSG, represents a valuable option for the treatment of morbid obesity with gastroesophageal reflux disease Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

Abstract Background Although the sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has good short-term results, it comes with a significant number of patients requiring revisional surgery because of insufficient weight loss or functional complications. Objective To investigate the effectiveness of the single anastomosis duodenoileal bypass (SADI-S) versus the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on health outcomes in (morbidly) obese patients who had previously undergone SG, with up to 5 years of follow-up. Methods Data from patients who underwent revisional SADI-S or RYGB after SG were retrospectively compared on indication of surgery, weight loss, quality of life, micronutrient deficiencies, and complications. Results From 2007 to 2017, 141 patients received revisional laparoscopic surgery after SG in three specialized Dutch bariatric hospitals (SADI-S n=63, RYGB n=78). Percentage total weight loss following revisional surgery at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years was 22%, 24%, 22%, 18%, and 15% for SADI-S and 10%, 9%, 7%, 8%, and 2% for RYGB (P<.05 for 1–4 years). Patients who underwent RYGB surgery for functional complications experienced no persistent symptoms of GERD or dysphagia in 88% of cases. No statistical difference was found in longitudinal analysis of change in quality of life scores or cross-sectional analysis of complication rates and micronutrient deficiencies. Conclusion Conversion of SG to SADI-S leads to significantly more total weight loss compared to RYGB surgery with no difference in quality of life scores, complication rates, or micronutrient deficiencies. When GERD in sleeve patients has to be resolved, RYGB provides adequate outcomes. Graphical abstract

Abstract Background It is already known that Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has gained popularity as a stand-alone procedure with good short-term results for weight loss. However, in the long-term, weight regain is considered as a complication. Demand for secondary surgery is rising, partly for this reason, but through that study we try to discover the efficacy of conversion of failed sleeve gastrectomy to one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) regarding weight loss and metabolic outcomes. Objective To asses the efficacy and safety of one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) as a conversion surgery post Sleeve Gastrectomy failure as regard weight loss and metabolic outcomes. Patients and Methods This study is a retrospective cohort study which included 20 patients underwent one anastomosis gastric bypass at Ain-Shams University El-Demerdash Hospital, Cairo, Egypt and specialized bariatric center, Cairo, Egypt From February 2019 to July 2019 with 6 months of postoperative follow up till January 2019. Results In this study, we reviewed and analyzed the outcomes from the revision of the SG due to either inadequate weight loss or weight regain to one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) with %EBWL of 6.65% at 1 month, 13.61 % at 3 months and 20.86% at 6 months. Conclusion OAGB appears to be an effective and safe therapeutic technique as a revisional surgery for failed primary SG with good short-term results for treating morbid obesity and its associated comorbidities with a significantly low rate of complications. However the EBWL was less than what is reported after primary OAGB weight. Multicenter studies with larger series of patients and longer term follow up after SG revisions to OAGB are warranted.

Abstract Background Reoperation, after failed gastric banding, is a controversial topic. A common approach is band removal with conversion to laparoscopic Roux-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in a single-step procedure. Objective This study aimed to assess the safety of revisional surgery to LSG compared to LRYGB after failed laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) based on MBSAQIP Participant User File from 2015 to 2018. Methods Patients who underwent a one-stage conversion of LAGB to LSG (Conv-LSG) or LRYGB (Conv-LRYGB) were identified in the MBSAQIP PUF from 2015 to 2017. Conv-LRYGB cases were matched (1:1) with Conv-LSG patients using propensity scoring to control for potential confounding. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Results A total of 9974 patients (4987 matched pairs) were included in the study. Conv-LRYGB, as compared with conv-SG, was associated with a similar risk of mortality (0.02% vs. 0.06%; relative risk [RR], 0.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.03 to 3.20, p = 0.32). Conversion to LRYGB increased the risk for readmission (6.16% vs. 3.77%; RR, 1.63; 95%CI, 1.37 to 1.94, p < 0.01); reoperation (2.15% vs. 1.36%; RR, 1.57; 95%CI, 1.17 to 2.12, p = <0.01); leak (1.76% vs. 1.02%; RR, 1.57; 95%CI, 1.72 to 2.42, p < 0.01); and bleeding (1.66% vs. 1.00%; RR, 1.66; 95%CI, 1.7 to 2.34, p < 0.01). Conclusions The study shows that single-stage LRYGB and LSG as revisional surgery after gastric banding, are safe in the 30-day observation with an acceptable complication rate and low mortality. However, conversion to LRYGB increased the risk of perioperative complications.
