Brief Summary

Obesity is a major public health problem worldwide. Bariatric surgery has proved to be the most effective treatment of morbid obesity in terms of weight reduction and remission of co-morbid conditions during long-term follow-up. Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) has become the most performed intervention either worldwide or in France, where SG represents more than 60% of bariatric interventions and 114,817 patients operated between 2013 and 2016. Maximum Excess weight loss (%EWL) after SG is obtained at one-year post surgery. Then it has been largely reported in the literature that patients could present mild, moderate or important (notably in the super obese patients) weight regain associated with comorbidity relapse motivating redo surgery. Like in revisional surgery, operating super-obese patient (BMI ≥50 kg/m2) is a challenge. It has been shown that achieving significant weight loss was more difficult in patients with a BMI ≥ 50 compared to lower BMIs.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The Excess Weight Loss percentage (EWL%)

    The Excess Weight Loss percentage (EWL%) calculated with the following formula: ((weight at 2 years visit - initial weight (kg)) / (initial weight - ideal weight)) X 100 Ideal weight defined as the weight corresponding to a BMI = 25 kg/m2. Initial weight defined as preoperative weight at V1. All weights are expressed in kg

    at 2 years after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (16)

  • Change nutritional status assessment

    from baseline (before surgery) to 24 months after surgery

  • Change in liver status assessment

    from baseline (before surgery) to 24 months after surgery

  • Change in vitamins status assessment

    from baseline (before surgery) to 24 months after surgery

  • Change in mineral status assessment

    from baseline (before surgery) to 24 months after surgery

  • 24-hour steatorrhea quantified at 6 months

    At 6 months

  • +11 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (SG +TB)

EXPERIMENTAL

One arm benefiting from a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (SG +TB)

Procedure: sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (SG +TB)

laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)

SHAM COMPARATOR

One arm benefiting from a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)

Procedure: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)

Interventions

A small gastric pouch (30 cc) is performed. Antecolic gastroileal anastomosis is performed 200 cm from the Treitz junction, using a linear stapler (45-mm gold cartridge) or hand-sewn (at least 3 cm wide on the stomach). Laterolateral enteroanastomosis is performed 50 cm from the Treitz junction. Thus, alimentary limb is 150cm and biliary limb 50cm.

laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)

In case of a first intention procedure, a typical sleeve gastrectomy is performed, calibrated on a 36 French bougie, stapling starting 4 to 6 cm from the pylorus. Antecolic gastroileal anastomosis is performed 250 cm from the ileocecal transition, on the antrum using a linear stapler (45-mm gold cartridge) or hand-sewn (at least 3 cm wide on the stomach). Laterolateral enteroanastomosis is performed 120 cm from the ileocecal junction. Thus, alimentary limb is 130cm and common limb 120cm.

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient who has benefited from a pluridisciplinary evaluation, with a favorable opinion for SG+TB or RYGB as a first intention procedure with BMI ≥40 kg/m2 or BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 associated with one co-morbidity which will be improved by surgery (according to HAS 2009 recommendation3) OR as a second intention procedure (revisional surgery) after failure of Sleeve gastrectomy (defined as insufficient weight loss at 18 months after surgery (EWL% \<50), or as weight regain (+ 20%)).
  • Patient who had benefited from an Upper GI Endoscopy with biopsies to look for Helicobacter Pylori (HP) and a HP eradication.
  • Patient who understands and accepts the need for a long-term follow-up
  • Patient who agrees to be included in the study and who signs the informed consent form
  • Patient affiliated to a healthcare insurance plan

You may not qualify if:

  • History of previous bariatric surgery, other than a Sleeve Gastrectomy
