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.
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.
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.
Over other weight-loss surgical procedures, SIPS offers many advantages, including:
By creating the bypass, it is easy to convert your sleeve to SIPS. Individual patients may experience different results.
By preserving the pylorus, SADI-S maintains the natural barrier between the stomach and intestines, preventing pathologic bile reflux.
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.
Eliminating one anastomosis in SADI-S compared to DS is hypothesized to reduce operative time, anesthesia time, and postoperative complications.
Early studies have shown SADI-S to be a safe procedure with low postoperative complication rates.
SADI-S demonstrates satisfactory weight loss and resolution of obesity-related comorbidities like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia in the long-term.
SADI-S is proving to be an effective option for tackling weight regain after sleeve gastrectomy.
The use of robotic systems for SADI-S is being explored, potentially shortening the learning curve and allowing for more complex tasks like suturing.
Surgeons are encouraged to participate in national and international registries to better track long-term outcomes of SADI-S.
As experience with SADI-S grows, additional outcomes data is emerging. Consensus statements from organizations like IFSO are being developed to guide best practices
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. For an appointment with him, please call 08 65581901.
SIPS weight-loss surgery is available at our clinic Perth Surgical & Bariatrics and we invite you to make an appointment with Dr. Ravi Rao by calling 08 65581901.
