Abstract

Background

Single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve (SADI-S) is a novel bariatric surgery modified from the classic biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS). These surgical modifications address most BPD-DS hurdles, but the risk of bile reflux may hinder SADI-S acceptance. We aimed to evaluate the event rate of bile reflux after SADI-S.

Methods

PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were used to search English articles between 2008 and 2021 by two independent reviewers using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA). The risk of bias was assessed using Newcastle–Ottawa Scale and the JBI tool. Event rates were meta-analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CME) V3.

Results

Out of 3,027 studies analyzed, seven were included. Studies were published between 2010 and 2020. Six out of 7 studies were retrospective. Three studies had a low risk of bias, three studies had a moderate risk of bias, and one had a high risk of bias. The mean follow-up was 10.3 months. The total number of patients was 2,029, with 25 reports of bile reflux, resulting in an incidence of 1.23%, with an event rate of 0.016 (95% CI 0.004 to 0.055).

Conclusions

Bile reflux has not been demonstrated to be problematic after SADI-S in this meta-analysis. Further long-term studies are needed.

Key Points

1. Bile reflux is a rarely reported event after SADI-S.

2. The risk of bias was low to moderate in the majority of the studies.

3. The lack of long-term follow-up and the diagnostic difficulty could have led to underprediction.
