Outcomes of single anastomosis duodeno ileal bypass and single anastomosis stomach ileal bypass for type II diabetes: a systematic review

Bariatric surgery has demonstrated long-term effectiveness in inducing weight loss and improving metabolic parameters for obesity. Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal (SADI) bypass and single anastomosis sleeve-ileal (SASI) bypass have both emerged as new promising bariatric procedures. In this paper, we review the existing literature and compare the outcomes of SADI and SASI bypass procedures in regard to weight loss, complication rate, and improvement of type II diabetes (T2DM). This has not yet been done in the preexisting literature.We conducted a systematic literature search of electronic databases focusing on weight loss outcomes, rate of complications and remission, or improvement of T2DM and other obesity-related comorbidities. Seventeen studies on SADI and nine studies on SASI were included. Both are similar in terms of surgical technique and have demonstrated fewer complications when compared to other bariatric procedures. Mean preoperative BMI was similar in both study groups: 46.4 kg/m2 in SADI and 48.8 kg/m2 in SASI. Mean %EWL at 12 months in the SADI group was 74.1% compared to 77.4% in the SASI group. Preoperative severity of T2DM appeared to be higher in the SASI patient group, with a higher preoperative HbA1c and fasting blood glucose levels. T2DM resolution was achieved in a significant proportion of both SADI and SASI patient populations (78.5% in SADI and 89.0% in SASI). Complication rates were comparable for both procedures.Both SADI and SASI are effective in inducing weight loss at 12 months, with a low rate of major complications and mortality. From the studies included in this review, the SASI procedure had a higher impact on T2DM resolution compared to SADI.
