Comparison of the Outcomes of Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileostomy with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S), Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal (SASI) Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Sleeve Gastrectomy Using a Rodent Model with Diabetes.

Abstract

Single anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) is a powerful form of bariatric surgery; however, it has a high risk of malnutrition. Single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass with sleeve gastrectomy may be used as an alternative procedure to avoid malnutrition associated with SADI-S; however, no comparison between the two procedures has been performed. Sprague-Dawley rats with diabetes (n = 32) were divided into four groups: SADI-S (n = 8), SASI (n = 8), SG (n = 8), and SHAM (n = 8). Body weight, food intake, and fasting blood glucose were measured, and the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT) were performed before and after surgery. Blood samples were collected before and after the surgery to assess the levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), hemoglobin, albumin, vitamin B12, calcium, and iron. The SADI-S and SASI groups showed significantly greater weight loss and better glucose control than the SG group postoperatively. The SADI-S and SASI groups showed similar improvements in glucose control throughout the study. The SADI-S and SASI groups had significantly higher GLP-1 levels than the SG group at 6months. The SADI-S and SASI groups presented with various degrees of deficiencies, with the SADI-S group showing a higher risk for hypoalbuminemia and iron deficiency than the SASI group. The SASI procedure may be a better alternative as it has excellent bariatric and metabolic results with lower risk for hypoalbuminemia and can be easily converted into either SADI-S or SG procedures. Nevertheless, further clinical results are needed.
