Abstract
BACKGROUND: Biliary reflux resistant to medical treatment has an incidence of 0.6-10% after one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and may be a reason for revisional surgery. The aim of this study is to report the results of a single-institution series of patients who underwent conversion from OAGB to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) for biliary reflux. METHODS: Data of OAGB patients converted to RYGB between May 2010 and December 2017 were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed. The afferent limb was sectioned proximally to the gastrojejunal anastomosis. A jejuno-jejunal latero-lateral anastomosis was performed between the biliary and alimentary limb. The final RYGB had an alimentary limb of 100 cm and a biliary limb of 150 cm. RESULTS: During the study period, 2780 patients underwent OAGB. A total of 32 patients (1.2%) underwent conversion from OAGB to RYGB for biliary reflux, at a mean of 30.3 months from OAGB. Mean weight before RYGB was 70.6 kg, and mean body mass index BMI was 26 kg/m2. Four patients experienced postoperative complications (12.5%). Patients' mean weight was 74.3 kg at 24 months follow-up, with BMI of 27.2 kg/m2. Conversion to RYGB relieved symptoms of biliary reflux in all patients but 2 (93.8%). CONCLUSIONS: Biliary reflux although rare can complicate OAGB. RYGB is a safe and feasible technique of revision in this case. A shorter length of the afferent limb during the initial operation facilitates the revision.
