Exploring the Efficacy of Single-stage Stapled Conversion of Gastric Bypass to Sleeve Gastrectomy, More Leak?

This research entails a single-stage laparoscopic conversion of gastric bypass to sleeve gastrectomy. The procedure entails the closure of the gastrojejunostomy with an endo-stapler and the reconstruction of the stomach by resecting along the greater curvature to create a sleeve gastrectomy. An intraoperative leak test will be conducted using methylene blue. Patients are monitored postoperatively for at least 24 hours, with subsequent assessments of nutritional status, weight, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms, and quality of life at 3 and 6 months.
