<\/span>Who Should Have Revisional Bariatric Surgery<\/span><\/h2>\nThe decision to have revisional bariatric surgery is made on a case-by-case basis and depends on several factors. Here are some scenarios in which revisional bariatric surgery<\/strong> may be considered:<\/p>\n<\/span>Revision of the Band or Conversion to Other Procedures.<\/span><\/h3>\nLaparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB)<\/strong> is a successful approach that ensures significant weight reduction in severely obese individuals \u00a0Nevertheless, there is a growing demand for reoperations due to either inadequate weight loss or complications arising from the banding process. When faced with complications related to the band, various surgical alternatives must be evaluated, including band removal, repositioning, or transitioning to an alternative surgical procedure.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A crucial aspect to take into account is the timing of revision. The transition from LAGB <\/strong>to alternative procedures can be executed either as a one-step or a two-step process, contingent upon the presence of specific complications.<\/p>\n<\/span>Revision of Sleeve Gastrectomy<\/span><\/h3>\nIf a patient did not achieve sufficient weight loss <\/strong>or has experienced significant weight regain after the initial sleeve gastrectomy, a revision may be considered.<\/p>\n<\/span>Revision to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass<\/span><\/h3>\nOne common revisional option is converting the sleeve gastrectomy into a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)This involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine to reduce calorie absorption.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/span>Resleeve Gastrectomy<\/span><\/h3>\nIn some cases, a second sleeve gastrectomy may be performed to further reduce the size of the stomach and enhance weight loss.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) Revision<\/span><\/h3>\nRYGB remains the second most commonly performed bariatric surgery globally, accounting for approximately 15-20% of all such procedures However, there are instances where RYGB<\/strong> may not yield the desired weight loss results or may result in weight regain over time. The reasons for weight regain can be attributed to factors such as increased food intake due to the stretching of the gastric pouch, dilation of the gastrojejunal anastomotic complex, enlargement of the gastric pouch, or the presence of a gastrogastric fistula<\/strong>. Nonetheless, it appears that changes in eating behavior, particularly hyperphagia (excessive eating), are the primary contributors to weight gain following RYGB<\/strong>. In most cases, salvage banding is chosen for revisional surgery Salvage banding can be performed via laparoscopy, involving the placement of either an adjustable gastric band or a nonadjustable silicone ring (Minimizer Ring)<\/strong> at the level of the gastric pouch to restore the restrictive effect.<\/p>\nThis article is not authored by a medical professional; however, it provides a concise overview of various medical procedures sourced from academic papers within the field of medicine.

Medical review by Dr. Murat \u00dcst\u00fcn To talk about revisional bariatric surgery, we mus start from the beginning. Two decades ago, certain surgeons viewed bariatric surgery as akin to experimental procedures.
