In this episode, Drs. Ghanem and Teixeira discuss the difference between the Duodenal Switch and SADI bariatric procedures. Duodenal Switch is a popular restrictive and malabsorptive procedure that has been performed for decades. It is particularly suited to patients with a BMI over 50.
The DS offers the greatest excess body weight loss potential of any major surgical procedure and represents an improvement over the gastric bypass in many ways.
The SADI or Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileostomy is a derivative single anastomosis version of the duodenal switch that offers negligibly lower weight loss, but still excellent long-term results with fewer potential postoperative complications due to one less anastomosis. The big difference between the two procedures is insurance coverage. The duodenal switch is covered by insurance while the SADI remains a cash pay option.
