The SIPS Weight Loss Surgery: What You Need To Know
Having difficulty losing weight can make you feel as if your goals are out of reach. Perth Surgical & Bariatrics offers stomach intestinal pylorus sparing (SIPS) surgery as a solution.
Stomach Intestinal Pylorus Sparing (SIPS) Surgery
A SIPS procedure combines the benefits of both a gastric sleeve and a standard gastric bypass procedure. To help you lose weight, SIPS shrinks your stomach and bypasses part of the digestion process.
How Does the SIPS Procedure Work?
By combining gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, the SIPS procedure is known as a hybrid procedure.
The bariatric surgeon will remove most of your stomach in the first part of your procedure, which will reduce your appetite and level of the hunger-inducing hormone ghrelin.
As part of the SIPS procedure, the small intestine is divided into the small bowel and small bowel. Therefore, part of your small intestine is bypassed. You lose weight as a result of a reduction in your consumption and absorption of calories.
What are the Benefits of SIPS Bariatric Surgery
- Loss of weight results in better results
- Reduced risk of postoperative complications
- Patients who have had previous weight loss surgery are given a second chance
How Does the SIPS Procedure Work if I’ve Already had a Sleeve Gastrectomy?
Advancements in SADI-S
Preservation of the Pylorus
Standardization of Common Channel Length
The initial common channel length was 200 cm, but this has been increased to 250-300 cm as longer lengths are associated with fewer long-term nutritional and malabsorptive complications.
Reduced Operative Time and Complications
Favorable Safety Profile
Early studies have shown SADI-S to be a safe procedure with low postoperative complication rates.
Effective for Weight Loss and Comorbidity Resolution
SADI-S demonstrates satisfactory weight loss and resolution of obesity-related comorbidities like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia in the long-term.
Applicability as a Revisional Procedure
SADI-S is proving to be an effective option for tackling weight regain after sleeve gastrectomy.
Robotic Approach
The use of robotic systems for SADI-S is being explored, potentially shortening the learning curve and allowing for more complex tasks like suturing.
Participation in Registries
Surgeons are encouraged to participate in national and international registries to better track long-term outcomes of SADI-S.
Ongoing Research and Consensus Statements
As experience with SADI-S grows, additional outcomes data is emerging. Consensus statements from organizations like IFSO are being developed to guide best practices.
Do I Qualify for the SIPS Procedure?
With SIPS, you can restore your weight loss if you have gained unwanted kilos. Besides being safe and effective, it is also a safe option for people who need to lose significant weight and have never had weight loss surgery. Only an experienced professional surgeon like Dr. Ravi Rao, who has extensive knowledge of bariatric surgery, is qualified to determine if you are an ideal candidate for the procedure.
