Revisional Surgery After Stomach Stapling

Stomach Stapling is the oldest bariatric surgery, and it is no longer performed today due to the many reported side effects and complications, as well as the high rate of weight regain after some time in many cases, which has led to the use of better, newer procedures with more precise techniques.

What Is Stomach Stapling?

One of the oldest bariatric surgeries, it has become less popular among patients and surgeons due to the availability of newer and more advanced techniques in the field of bariatric surgery. The goal of the procedure was to help individuals lose excess weight by reducing the size of the stomach, thereby limiting the amount of food a person could consume.

How Was Stomach Stapling Surgery Performed?

The surgeon used surgical staples to divide the stomach into two sections (pouches): a small upper pouch and a larger lower section, while leaving a small opening for food to pass from the upper pouch to the lower section.

Difference Between Stomach Stapling and Sleeve Gastrectomy?

In Sleeve Gastrectomy:

During Sleeve Gastrectomy, the surgeon removes approximately 70% to 80% of the stomach, leaving a small tube resembling a banana, which limits food intake to very small amounts and leads to a faster feeling of fullness, significantly helping with excess weight loss.

While in Stomach Stapling:

As mentioned earlier, the goal is to help the individual lose excess weight by reducing the size of the stomach, thereby limiting the amount of food the person can consume.

Causes of Stomach Stapling Failure and the Need for Revisional Surgery?

Studies have shown that stomach stapling resulted in poor long-term weight loss and may lead to weight regain, along with other risks and side effects such as:

  1. Bleeding during surgery.
  2. Increased risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
  3. Worsening symptoms of heartburn.
  4. Staple-line leakage: This complication has been reported in many cases, leading to serious complications and side effects, which contributed to the discontinuation of the procedure and its replacement with better and more advanced procedures, such as different types of sleeve gastrectomy, mini gastric bypass, classic gastric bypass, and SASI surgery (Single-Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass).
