Laparoscopic diverted one-anastomosis gastric bypass (D-OAGB) is a bariatric procedure combining the principles of restriction, malabsorption, and other factors to induce weight loss. It is achieved by creating a narrow, long gastric pouch and bypassing a part of the small bowel (biliopancreatic limb). D-OAGB was first described by Dr. Ribero in 2013 and is technically a variation of the very heterogeneous group of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass operations. There are different technical variants to perform D-OAGB and to organize pre- and postoperative care. The following article is based on the approach to bariatric surgery as taken at the Department of General Surgery at the Medical University of Vienna. This article focuses on patient preparation before bariatric/metabolic surgery with mandatory and optional preoperative examinations to find the surgical procedure best suited for each individual patient and to decrease the patient’s risk. The surgical technique of D-OAGB itself, including positioning of the patient and related technical highlights, as well as the specifics of the postoperative course, are described. D-OAGB is an effective procedure for patients with symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux for adequate weight loss and remission of comorbidities with a low risk of malnutrition. For D-OAGB to be successful, important technical steps, such as creating a narrow, long pouch, exact length of the biliopancreatic and alimentary limb, and additional hiatoplasty (if necessary), should be taken. In terms of the postoperative course, regular checkups are vital to ensure desirable outcome in the long-term follow up and early detection of adverse developments.

Abstract Purpose The treatment of people with severe obesity and BMI > 50 kg/m2 is challenging. The present study aims to evaluate the short and mid-term outcomes of one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) with a biliopancreatic limb of 150 cm as a primary bariatric procedure to treat those people in a referral center for bariatric surgery. Material and Methods Data of patients who underwent OAGB for severe obesity with BMI > 50 kg/m2 between 2010 and 2017 were collected prospectively and analyzed retrospectively. Follow-up comprised clinical and biochemical assessment at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postoperatively, and once a year thereafter. Results Overall, 245 patients underwent OAGB. Postoperative mortality was null, and early morbidity was observed in 14 (5.7%) patients. At 24 months, the percentage total weight loss (%TWL) was 43.2 ± 9, and percentage excess weight loss (%EWL) was 80 ± 15.7 (184 patients). At 60 months, %TWL was 41.9 ± 10.2, and %EWL was 78.1 ± 18.3 (79 patients). Conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was needed in three (1.2%) patients for reflux resistant to medical treatment. Six patients (2.4%) had reoperation for an internal hernia during follow-up. Anastomotic ulcers occurred in three (1.2%) patients. Only two patients (0.8%) underwent a second bariatric surgery for insufficient weight loss. Conclusion OAGB with a biliopancreatic limb of 150 cm is feasible and associated with sustained weight loss in the treatment of severe obesity with BMI > 50 kg/m2. Further randomized studies are needed to compare OAGB with other bariatric procedures in this setting. Graphical abstract

Abstract Background Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the most effective bariatric procedures. The study aimed to explore the value of lengthening the biliopancreatic limb (BPL) in RYGB compared to the outcome of one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). Methods This prospective study included morbidly obese patients divided into two groups. The RYGB group (n = 36) was subjected to long biliary limb Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LPRYGB), and the OAGB Group (n = 36) had one anastomosis gastric bypass. During follow-up, weight, BMI, percentage of excess body weight loss (%EBWL), resolution of obesity-related comorbidities, and quality of life (QoL) were evaluated. Results There was no significant difference in weight and BMI after 3 and 6 months. At 12-month follow-up, weight loss was significantly higher in the OAGB group. After 12 months, the two groups showed significant improvement of comorbid conditions without significant difference between the two groups. The Qol was significantly higher in the LPRYGB group 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery compared to the OAGB group. Conclusions Extending the BPL length in RYGB to 150 cm is as effective as OAGB in remission of comorbidities, including diabetes. It was also equally effective in weight reduction in the short term. OAGB was more efficient in weight reduction and a significantly faster operation. LPRYGB showed a better QoL of life 1 year after surgery. 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.

BACKGROUND: After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass to avoid rapid gastric emptying, dumping syndrome and regained weight due to possible dilation of the gastric pouch, was proposed to place a ring around the gastric pouch. AIM: To compare weight loss, consumption of macronutrients and the frequency of vomiting among patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with and without the placement of a constriction ring around the pouch. METHOD: A retrospective study, in which an analysis of medical records was carried out, collecting data of two groups of patients: those who underwent the operation with the placement of a constriction ring (Ring Group) and those who underwent without the placement of a ring (No-Ring Group). The food intake data were analyzed using three 24-hour recalls collected randomly in postoperative nutritional accompaniment. Data on the percentage of excess weight loss and the occurrence of vomiting were collected using the weight corresponding to the most recent report at the time of data collection. RESULTS: Medical records of 60 patients were analyzed: 30 from the Ring Group (women: 80%) and 30 from the No-Ring Group (women: 87%). The average time since the Ring Group underwent the operation was 88±17.50 months, and for the No-Ring Group 51±15.3 months. The percentage of excess weight loss did not differ between the groups. The consumption of protein (g), protein/kg of weight, %protein and fiber (g) were higher in the No-Ring Group. The consumption of lipids (g) was statistically higher in the Ring Group. The percentage of patients who never reported any occurrence was statistically higher in the No-Ring Group (80%vs.46%). The percentage who frequently reported the occurrence was statistically higher in the Ring Group (25%vs.0%). CONCLUSION: The placement of a ring seems to have no advantages in weight loss, favoring a lower intake of protein and fiber and a higher incidence of vomiting, factors that have definite influence in the health of the bariatric patient.

Abstract Background Roux en Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery for morbid obesity is considered as gold standard, but there can be a difference in the length of alimentary and biliopancreatic limb to achieve optimum weight loss. Till now there is no agreed consensus on the ideal limb lengths and their effect on the weight loss. We would like to evaluate the change in the alimentary limb length on the weight loss after the gastric bypass surgery,  as a short to medium term single center study. Methods A retrospective analysis from prospectively maintained   database of 523 patients who underwent RYGB from  2012 till 2018 was done. Patient who had at least a follow up of 2 years(n = 388) were included.  At our center we use alimentary limb of 120 +/- 10 cm for Body Mass Index (BMI) < 40 kg/m2 (group A)  and 150+/-10 cm for the BMI >40 kg/m2  (Group B). The biliopancreatic limb length varies from 50 to 70 cm and this does not change with BMI.  The percentage excess weight(EWL) loss was measured and analyzed  at 1st  and 2nd year post operatively. We used paired t test to check for statistical significance. Results There were 172 patients in Group A and 216 in Group B. The number of females were 330 and  males were 58.   The average age was 44 years .  The mean  preoperative  BMI for the 120 cm limb group was  37.1 kg/m2 and  that for  150 cm limb was 45.3kg/m2. The EWL for the group A at 1 year and 2 year post op was a  Mean and standard deviation  of 79.3% +/- 39.4% and 78.3% +/- 35.2% respectively and for group B was 58.8% +/- 26.6% and 58.6% +/- 23.2% respectively. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001) . The analysis and interpretation for metabolic syndrome is yet to be determined.   Conclusions In our study, Increasing the alimentary limb length for higher BMI reduced  EWL. This is consistent with few other publications regarding the same. This has resulted in a  change in our practice namely keeping the length of alimentary limb constant and varying the BP limb length. We will be analyzing  and presenting this data in future.
