A196 Malabsorbtion Surgery can be Safely Performed in an Ambulatory Surgical Setting

The Single Anastamosis Duodenal Ileostomy with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S) is gaining popularity in the United States as an alternative to the Gastric Bypass for patients with a high BMI or who are less likely to succeed with a sleeve. While SADI-S has similar weight loss to the GBP the complication rate is significantly lower allowing surgeons to perform SIPS in an ambulatory surgical center with 23 hour stay.
