Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Group A: SAS-J  Single Anastomosis Sleeve Jejunal Bypass; that is a segment of proximal jejunum is anastomosed to the pre-pyloric part of sleeve gastrectomy. About 5cm size anastomosis will be created, and about 200 to 250-cm segment of jejunum distal to DJ-flexure will be connected to the pre-pyloric part of the sleeve gastrectomy  
Comparator Agent  group B: SG   Sleeve Gastrectomy means about 80% of the stomach is removed leaving a sleeve of stomach (J shaped stomach-tube is created using surgical stapler over 38 F bougie).

Brief Summary  

 

1.      According to ICMR-INDIAB study 2015. 5% of Indian population is obese; that is about 8 crore population is suffering from obesity.

2.      Bariatric procedures have started to gain popularity in India. A total of 20,242 procedures were performed in 2018 which was a rise of approximately 86% from 2014.

3.      There is an on-going debate between different bariatric procedures (SG, MGB and Roux-en-Y and sleeve plus) on their efficacy (adequate weight loss, remission of comorbidities and least nutritional deficiency). Existing literature suggests that all bariatric surgical procedures are compliance dependent (diet, exercise etc.), and the most commonly performed bariatric surgery in India and the world is Sleeve Gastrectomy. However, the weight regain and return of comorbidities was more with SG than with the bypass procedures.

4.      The bypass (Roux-en-Y and MGB) procedures showed consistent weight loss and remission of co-morbidities following bypass procedures on long term (7 to 10 year) follow up. However, patients have higher rates of nutritional deficiencies (macro and micronutrient) when compared to SG. Therefore, a few surgeons came out with sleeve plus (SASI, SADI, etc) procedures so as to match efficacy to bypass procedure and nutritional status to SG procedures.

5.      A recent modification referred to as single anastomosis sleeve jejunal (SAS-J) bypass is a transit bipartition procedure which has benefits of sleeve and Roux-en-Y and MGB bypass and diminished effects on nutritional deficiency. Literature review showed that SAS-J bypass has better weight loss outcome than sleeve gastrectomy and better nutritional status better than roux en Y bypass possibly.

6.      From the available literature, there have been no reports of suspected, unexpected, or serious complications following SAS-J. Meanwhile, Sleeve bypass have been used as re-do procedures following SG for weight regain.

7.      There is no study in literature comparing SASJ vs SG with nutritional status as the primary outcome.

8.      The study by Huang C et al showed that sleeve plus (SASI, SADI and LDJB + SG) had significant better weight loss when compared to SG, MGB and Roux-en-Y; however, they had significant nutritional deficiency.

9.      There are a few articles on SAS-J published in medical journals with good short term results.  In a study published by Sewefy A. et al in 2021 it was observed that SASJ procedure resulted in satisfactory weight loss and better nutritional status. However, it was a retrospective cohort study, heterogeneous groups (compared to MGB, Roux-en-y and SG) with primary outcome as weight loss rather than nutritional deficiency. The authors in this study concluded that SAS-J, LSG, roux-en-Y and MGB and SADI had 85%, 59%, 56 – 72% and 60 – 84% and 91 -95% weight loss at 1 year.

10.  There is no study in the English literature comparing the two treatment protocol [SAS-J versus SG] in patients with obesity with nutritional deficiency as primary outcome. Hence, this study is proposed
