Combined Nissen Fundoplication and Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass (N-SASI) as a Practical Modality of Bariatric Surgery (Video Report).

Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most common bariatric procedures because of its simplicity and effectiveness. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms and weight regain after SG are common issues. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is currently the most promising approach to achieve satisfying weight loss and GERD remission; however, remnant gastric cancer is still a major concern for patients. We present a video case that individualized procedure of Nissen fundoplication, and SASI bypass (N-SASI) was designed and applied to the patient with class III obesity and severe GERD. This is a 37-year-old man with obesity (BMI: 41.8 kg/m2, categorized as class III obesity) and associated disease of stage 1 hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis as well as severe symptoms of GERD. Esophageal-gastro-duodenal scope revealed GERD grade C, hiatal hernia, and duodenal ulcer. He refused RYGB recommended initially due to serious concern about remnant gastric cancer. We therefore performed Nissen fundoplication for his GERD symptoms and adapted SASI bypass instead of RYGB as the individualized bariatric surgery to achieve the optimal surgical outcome. The postoperative course was smooth, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 8.
