    Revision of Bariatric Surgeries

    A group of procedures used to treat weight regain, or to manage adverse effects of a previous bariatric surgery. This includes and not limited to:
  • Gastric Band Removal
  • Conversion of gastric Band to Sleeve gastrectomy or Gastric Bypass
  • Re-sleeve gastrectomy
  • Conversion of Sleeve gastrectomy to Gastric Bypass
  • Revision of Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB)
  • Modified Bariatric Procedures:

    Recently some modifications suggested to sleeve gastrectomy in certain specific cases. Those modifications are:
  • Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass (SASI)
  • Single Anastomosis Duodeno-ileal Bypass (SADI)
  • Both procedures are new needs more evaluation. But very promising especially in obesity with comorbidities.

    Risks Of Bariatric Surgery

    Bariatric surgeries are in general very safe, the vast majority of patients will be discharged from the hospital safely without any problems. Rarely complications may occur, and needs to be managed by an experienced team, some of the complications rarely require hospitalization and invasive procedures. The complications include:
  • Leak from the closure line in any divided stomach or Bowel – it occurs in 2% of cases. But in cases of revision surgery this percentage may rises to 7%.
  • Bleeding – Occurs in 1.3%
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux
  • Ulcers It is well established that the percentage of complications is closely related to the experience of the surgical team and the patient compliance to the postoperative instructions.
