Modified SADI-S in non-obese diabetic rats: Description of the surgical technique. Surg Open Sci. 2023 Dec 31;17:54-57. doi: 10.1016/j.sopen.2023.12.0062589-8450https://hdl.handle.net/10641/6283Background Single anastomosis duodenoileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) is a predominantly malabsorptive technique that has shown excellent results in morbid obese patients. The aim of this study is to establish a rodent model modifying the SADI-S technique by performing a proximal duodenojejunal anastomosis. This model can be useful for the study of glucose metabolism without malabsorption observed after the SADI-S technique. Methods Goto-Kakizaki rats, a genetic model of non-obese and non-hypertensive type 2 diabetes mellitus, that develop hyperglycemia at an early age was used. Surgery consisted in a sleeve gastrectomy, duodenojejunal anastomosis and duodenal exclusion using three different techniques: duodenal transection (DT), duodenal ligation with hem-o-lock (DLH), and duodenal ligation with suture (DLS). Surgery time, weight loss, morbidity and mortality were recorded. Results A total of 16 animals were subjected to surgical intervention and overall mortality was 25 %, with the DT group showing the highest mortality rate (42.9 %). No differences were observed among groups in terms of weight loss. Conclusion The surgical technique described in this work is feasible and reproducible. Weight loss is comparable regardless of the technique used for duodenal exclusion.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Metabolic surgeryDiabetes mellitusGoto-Kakizaki ratsjournal articleopen access10.1016/j.sopen.2023.12.006
