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.Entities:
