Sa1962 ENDOSCOPIC SLEEVE-IN-SLEEVE VERSUS SURGICAL RE-SLEEVE IN PATIENTS WITH WEIGHT REGAIN AFTER SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY: A RETROSPECTIVE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) is the most common bariatric surgery performed in the United States. While effective in weight loss with low complication rate, SG can be associated with weight regain in up to 50% of patients. Surgical options for those with weight regain include surgical re-sleeve (SRS) or conversion to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), both of which can be technically challenging and are associated with postoperative complications. Endoscopic sleeve revision or sleeve-in-sleeve (SIS) has emerged as a less invasive but effective modality for the treatment of these patients.
