Abstract

Purpose of Review As the field of bariatric surgery expands, the demand for a procedure that optimizes weight loss while minimizing complications grows ever higher. This paper proposes to give a rationale for this procedure as a salvage option for vertical sleeve gastrectomies (VSG) or as an initial bariatric procedure for patients requiring more weight loss and reduction in comorbidities than a VSG can offer. Stomach intestinal pyloric sparing surgery (SIPS) is a form of modified duodenal switch which is comprised a slightly larger than average vertical sleeve gastrectomy with a single postpyloric duodenal-enteral anastomosis with a common channel of 300 cm measured from the ileocecal valve.
