Purpose:
Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) offers a novel bariatric procedure. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates observational and comparative studies evaluating SADI-S, with meta-analysis comparing outcomes to other malabsorptive procedures (MPs).
Materials And Methods:
Systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted in March 2021. The study followed PRISMA guidelines. Studies evaluating SADI-S with n > 5 were included. Primary outcome was diabetes (DM) remission, and secondary outcomes included perioperative outcomes, comorbidity resolution, and weight loss.
Results:
We reviewed 2285 studies with 16 included evaluating 3319 patients and 1704 (51.3%) undergoing SADI-S. SADI-S patients had increased BMI (49.6 kg/m2 vs 48.8 kg/m2) and weight (139.7 kg vs 137.1 kg), were more likely to have DM (46.3% vs 42.1%), and dyslipidemia (36.6% SADI-S vs 32.7%). SADI-S had a shorter operative duration than MPs (MD - 36.74, p < 0.001), 0.85-day shorter post-operative stay (p < 0.001), and trended towards fewer complications (OR 0.69, p = 0.06). Rate of reoperation (OR 0.83, p = 0.59) was similar and DM remission was similar (OR 0.07, p = 0.1). Subgroup analysis suggested greater DM remission than Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (OR 4.42, p = 0.04). SADI-S had fewer malabsorptive complications, though follow-up was shorter. Weight loss was 37.3% compared to 35.6% total weight loss after SADI-S and MPs, respectively.
Conclusion:
SADI-S demonstrates improved metabolic and weight loss outcomes with lower perioperative risks. SADI-S represents a promising bariatric procedure but long-term outcomes are needed to guide future uptake.
