What is What is the SADI-S Procedure?

SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy)

The SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy) is an advanced bariatric procedure designed for super obese patients (those with a BMI over 50 or severe obesity-related health conditions). It combines the benefits of a sleeve gastrectomy with a duodenal switch, offering significant weight loss and improvement in obesity-related comorbidities like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

What is the SADI-S Procedure?

Sleeve Gastrectomy: The stomach is reduced to about 20-25% of its original size by removing a large portion, creating a tubular “sleeve.”

Duodenal Switch: The first part of the small intestine (duodenum) is connected to the lower part of the small intestine (ileum), bypassing a significant portion of the intestine to reduce calorie absorption.

Single Anastomosis: Unlike the traditional duodenal switch, SADI-S involves only one intestinal connection, making it a simpler and potentially safer procedure.


Benefits of SADI-S for Super Obese Patients

Significant Weight Loss: SADI-S is one of the most effective procedures for super obese patients, with excess weight loss often exceeding 70-80%.

Improvement in Comorbidities: It has a high success rate in resolving or improving conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

Reduced Hunger: The sleeve gastrectomy portion reduces hunger hormones (ghrelin), helping patients feel full with smaller meals.

Malabsorption: The intestinal bypass reduces calorie and nutrient absorption, enhancing weight loss.
