Stomach Intestinal Pylorus-Sparing (SIPS) surgery is a type of weight-loss surgery. It was developed in 2013 by two U.S. surgeons, Daniel Cottam[1] from Utah and Mitchell S. Roslin from New York.[2]

It is substantively the same procedure as the SADI surgery.

Technique edit

SIPS surgery is a modified version of duodenal switch (DS) surgery. The SIPS surgery involves the creation of a 300-cm common channel with a single-anastomosis duodenal enterostomy.[3]

Advantages edit

  1. Greater weight loss than sleeve gastrectomy (SG).
  2. Greater weight loss than Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).[citation needed]
  3. Weight loss is similar to DS.[citation needed]
  4. One of the best revision surgeries after failed RYGB, adjustable gastric banding (ABG), and SG.[citation needed]
  5. Better T2DM remission than RYGB and SG.[citation needed]
  6. Better cholesterol resolution than RYGB.[citation needed]
  7. No Roux limb side effects.[citation needed]
  8. Similar nutritional problems to RYGB and less than DS.[citation needed]
  9. Low risk of intestinal obstruction compared to RYGB and DS.[citation needed]
  10. No Dumping syndrome, unlike RYGB.[citation needed]
  11. No marginal ulcers, unlike RYGB.[citation needed]

Disadvantages edit

  1. Long-term data are not available.
  2. Procedure is still considered experimental in nature and not covered by insurance companies.
  3. Malabsorptive procedure [needs closer nutritional follow-up].
  4. <1% incidence of bile reflux.
