!!!NEW!!! CLINICAL FORUM !!!NEW!!!
to make the quarterly livelier and more beneficial for doctors and scientists !!!

On June the 1st, 2021 VSJ launches a new discussion platform in the journal.

We invite all MIS surgeons to rapidly submit for publication:
- small forms describing unusual clinical situations related to their practice,
- short clinical comments relating to any publications in VSJ, including the clinical situations described above
- brief communications of original studies deserving fast publication
- your personal opinions as part of a larger discussion on the VSJ publication
- letters concerning the topics described above

Clinical Forum gives you a means of rapid presentation of your findings in the medical databases, scientific citations on the international forum, and also an Impact Factor!

Introduction: In bariatric surgery, still new surgical techniques are developed. On the one hand, the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the most common procedures used. However, many patients experience dumping syndrome or pain due to bile reflux. On the other hand, revisions after gastric banding are frequent and may be technically challenging.

Aim: To create a new bariatric procedure counterbalancing the drawbacks of conventional RYGB, also suitable as a redo option after gastric banding.

Material and methods: To diminish the complication rate and pathophysiological disadvantages in reoperations after gastric banding, we primarily combined a gastric plication (GP) with a single anastomosis duodeno-ileal omega switch (DIOS), bypassing 2/3 of the total bowel length. Further on, in patients with lower body mass index we combined a GP or LSG and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with a duodeno-jejunal omega switch (DJOS), performing an end-to side anastomosis after 1/3 of the total bowel length.

Results: The DIOS and DJOS techniques restrict food intake and bypass the duodenum and part (DJOS) or the whole (DIOS) jejunum. Restriction is achieved either through gastric plicature or conventional sleeve gastrectomy.

Conclusions: Similar bariatric and metabolic effects to proximal RYGB are expected in the case of DJOS, or to a conventional duodenal switch when performing a DIOS procedure. Performing a gastric plicature will reduce the risk of gastric leak when revising patients after failed gastric banding.
