Obes Surg. 2019 Nov;29(11):3769-3770. doi: 10.1007/s11695-019-04016-x.

Abstract

Bariatric surgery plays a key role in treating morbid obesity and its associated comorbidities whose incidence is increasing. The single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass is an investigatory procedure that is performed parallel with standard and established operations. The present research introduces the SASJ bypass with less concerns about malnutrition and excessive weight loss.

Keywords: Bariatric surgery; Metabolic surgery; SASJ bypass; Single anastomosis sleeve-jejunal bypass.
