OKUT, Gokalp et al. Can revision of RYGB to sleeve gastrectomy be a solution to inadequate weight loss treatment?. Cir. cir. [online]. 2022, vol.90, suppl.1, pp.25-30.  Epub Jan 20, 2023. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000458.

We aimed to discuss the weight loss success of the revision of RYGB to sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Between January 2019 and June 2020, four patients' files were analyzed retrospectively. Post-RYGB mean minimal BMI was 27.4 ± 9.47 kg/m², before SG the mean BMI was 43.41 ± 4.16 kg/m2. Post-operative gastric fistula developed in two patients. The mean follow-up time after revision surgery was 17.25 ± 6.89 months, mean excess weight loss (EWL) was 74.77 ± 8.94%, and mean BMI was 32.65 ± 2.9 kg/m2. Despite high rate of major complications, revision of RYGB to SG is successful in weight loss and resolving certain complications of RYGB.
