SADI

SADI stands for single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy. It is a new surgical treatment option for morbid obesity that is basically a variant of duodenal switch surgery, in which a single intestinal bypass is made as opposed to two. Patients spend less time in surgery and are exposed to a reduced risk of complications. Slim Vegas Bariatrics & General Surgery are experts in this procedure.

What is SADI?

Over the last few years, the single anastomosis duodenal switch procedure has become more available as a less-invasive, modified version of the duodenal switch procedure. This duodenal switch single anastomosis procedure works by creating a sleeve gastrectomy that promotes restriction and hunger control. After the sleeve is created, the intestines are rerouted in a way that’s similar to a gastric bypass procedure. The key difference of a single anastomosis duodenal switch from a traditional duodenal switch is that, rather than two connections, a single connection is made into a loop configuration. Having a single connection not only makes the procedure much quicker but also lessens the risk of leaks.

How long does the SADI procedure take, including recovery? 

This single-loop duodenal switch procedure takes, on average, an hour and a half to complete, and the recovery period is comparable to other bariatric procedures. This often means symptoms and varying degrees of pain while you’re recovering from bed rest. You’ll stay with us for the recovery period so that, if the pain becomes too intense, we will be to respond and help you immediately. Luckily, unlike gastric bypass, you don’t have to worry about dumping syndrome because food is held by the sleeve to prevent the food from entering the small intestine too quickly; therefore, you can avoid issues like cramps, diarrhea, or nausea. To encourage your SADI single-loop duodenal recovery, it’s key that you stimulate the body to promote blood circulation, so you can expect light exercise to be a part of your recovery to expedite the healing process.
