From adjustable gastric banding to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass - case report
Summary
Adjustable gastric banding (AGB) often fails, necessitating revisional surgery like sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). When SG causes stenosis, RYGB offers an effective solution for improved outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Bariatric surgery
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical revisions
Background:
- Adjustable gastric banding (AGB) was a common bariatric procedure but has a high long-term failure rate, leading to its decline.
- Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are primary revisional surgeries after AGB removal.
Observation:
- A case of a patient who underwent AGB removal and conversion to SG developed sleeve stenosis.
- The patient subsequently underwent conversion from SG to RYGB.
Findings:
- Sleeve stenosis after SG can negatively impact nutritional status and quality of life.
- RYGB can be an effective treatment for sleeve stenosis when endoscopic dilatation fails.
Implications:
- Revisional bariatric surgeries are complex and carry higher risks than primary procedures.
- RYGB is a viable option for managing sleeve stenosis after SG, improving patient outcomes.

129
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.
