Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileostomy with Sleeve Gastrectomy/Single Anastomosis Duodenal Switch (SADI-S/SADS) IFSO...

The single anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy with sleeve gastrectomy/single anastomosis duodenal switch (SADI-S/SADS) has gained attention as an alternative to the traditional biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS). In 2021, IFSO endorsed SADI-S/SADS as a safe and effective procedure, underscoring the necessity for long-term multidisciplinary care and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). A task force was established to conduct a systematic review of current evidence on SADI-S/SADS to guide clinical practice. A systematic review was conducted across three databases, focusing on studies examining SADI-S/SADS and its outcomes. A total of 93 studies were analyzed. SADI-S/SADS demonstrated efficacy in weight loss and medium-to-long-term control of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), along with positive outcomes regarding hypertension and hyperlipidemia. However, its impact on other comorbidities remains inconclusive. Frequent nutritional deficiencies were identified, particularly in fat-soluble vitamins, anemia, and hypoalbuminemia. Despite significant efforts, high-quality evidence on SADI-S/SADS remains scarce, prompting IFSO to advocate for increased registry participation, publication of long-term studies, and more RCTs. Lifelong supplementation and monitoring for nutritional deficiencies are recommended. The current position statement will be reviewed in 2 years.
