  • Title: Laparoscopic Conversion of a Sleeve Gastrectomy to the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.
    Author: Amor IB, Debs T, Martini F, Elias B, Kassir R, Gugenheim J.
    Journal: Obes Surg; 2015 Aug; 25(8):1556-7. PubMed ID: 26048365.
    Abstract:
    After the failure of sleeve gastrectomy (SG), three options are available as a second intervention: the conversion into a biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP), and more recently, a re-SG consisting in the refashioning of a dilated gastric tube. We describe two different approaches for the conversion. The conversion to RYGBP remains a technically challenging operation but feasible and effective, and it should be reserved to specialized centers.
