43 Duodenoileal Anastomosis Testing
401
Its sensibility may be increased by occluding the distal aspect of the duodenoil­eal anastomosis with an atraumatic clamp. The inated ileal loop not only conrms that the dye has effectively gone through the pylorus but also allows an adequate pressure to be applied to the anastomosis. Injecting air through the tube after the blue and placing a clean gauze all along the suture lines before the injection can also increase the sensibility of the test, especially on the posterior aspect of the anasto­mosis, where leaks can be harder to detect.
43.3 Water-Air Leak Test (Fig.43.1a andb)
The water-air leak test requires a little more preparation than the blue test, as water needs to ood the supramesocolic space, covering the anastomosis. It is recom­mended to position the patient in forced Trendelenburg to minimize the water required to completely cover the suture lines. This way, bubbles escaping from the lumen after air injection through a nasogastric tube would be easily identied.
As air escapes easily than liquid, air tests are believed to be more accurate than blue tests, although there is no good-quality data to support that impression. On the other hand, the exact location of the leak may be harder to identify.

43.4 Intraoperative Endoscopic Direct Visualization
Intraoperative endoscopic exploration allows to simulate an air test with the insuf­ation of the endoscope and also to directly visualize the suture lines. It offers the advantage to not only rule out the presence of a leak but also intraoperative bleeding or any anastomotic stenosis or mucosal ischemia. On the down side, it requires the equipment to be readily available in the operating room, as well as the proper training.
43.5 Indocyanine Green Test andCombination ofBlend
andEndovascular Test (Fig.43.2a andb)
More recently, bariatric surgeons have been including a novel leak agent blend. This novel blend is done with 2mL of methylene blue and 5mg of ICG [5]. This blend is mixed in 100mL of sterile water and placed into a syringe. Then, the anesthesiologists can inject all the content through a previously placed nasogastric tube, at the level of the antrum of the stomach, blowing the stomach and the duo­denoileal anastomosis. At this time of the procedure, ICG cameras must be

activated to detect any leaks coming from the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract at the level of the anastomosis. After injecting all the content, another 50mL of air could be injected, adding pressure to the test (Fig.43.2a). ICG should only be detected inside the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. Then the surgeon needs to switch to a normal view of the camera, looking for blue on the surgical eld (Fig.43.2b).
There is little experience with this kind of blend test in bariatric surgery. Hagen etal. [5] reported 95 blend tests in RYGB, nding no test-related adverse event. They observed four patients (4.2%) with an abnormal ICG leak, but not blue extrav­asation. However, the interpretation of these ndings is controversial. More data is necessary to clarify if the use of the ICG camera adds some value when testing for intraoperative leaks.
Another interesting characteristic of ICG is that it allows us to observe the blood supply of the tissues. In that line, an interesting variation of the previously described test would be adding 4mg of ICG intravenously, which would conrm the adequate vascular supply of the duodenoileal anastomosis, that could be com­promised in case of section of the right gastric artery (Fig.43.3). There is cur­rently no meaningful data on using the ICG to check the vascularization of this anastomosis, but this type of transoral and vascular test has been described previ­ously in colorectal and esophagogastric surgery [10, 11] and seems to offer some benet.
Nowadays, there is still a lack of technology when measuring ICG uores­cence. It would be useful to quantify the emission, in order to objectively evalu­ate tissue vascularization and especially to determine if an anastomosis could be in risk of postoperative leak according to the observed intraoperative images. Novel technology of ICG uorescence in many elds is arising to determine its utility in the future. Moreover, clinical aspects and biological parameters would need to be estimated according to the general status of each patient [12, 13].

Closing theMesenteric Defects

44.1 Introduction
Bariatric procedures that involve alterations in gastrointestinal absorption do so through bypassing a predetermined length of the small intestine. There are a variety of intestinal congurations that widely depend on the type of procedures performed (e.g., Roux-en-Y vs. loop). However, these intestinal anastomoses share a common theme of creating a “space” within the abdominal cavity known as a mesenteric defect. These defects are usually formed when two opposing edges of intestinal mesenteries are in close proximity, as a result of a new gastrointestinal anastomosis.
In the advent of laparoscopic bariatric surgery and the popularity of malabsorp­tive or hypoabsorptive procedures, there has been an ongoing debate regarding the management of mesenteric defects at the index operation [13]. The major concern that evolves around these defects has been the association with an increased rate of internal hernias [4]. Factors such as absence of adhesions, loss of mesenteric fat, and variety in surgical techniques can be attributed to this increasing likelihood [5]. Small bowel obstructions secondary to an internal hernia through mesenteric defects are sometimes difcult to diagnose and can be a dreaded postoperative complication that can eventually progress to small bowel ischemia.

This chapter will focus on the management of mesenteric defects during a lapa­roscopic biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) and its deriva­tives, the single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) and the stomach intestinal pylorus-sparing (SIPS) procedures.
44.2 Experience fromtheRoux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
In order to further discuss the management options, it is important to highlight where most of our understanding of this topic has evolved from.
The breadth of the literature surrounding the experience of mesenteric defects in bariatric and metabolic surgery mostly stems from the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gas­tric bypass (LRYGB). The two most common spaces created during an antecolic approach are known as the Petersen defect (space created between the Roux limb and the transverse mesocolon) and the defect at the jejunojejunostomy. An addi­tional third potential defect can also be encountered through the transverse mesoco­lon during a retrocolic approach.
Internal hernia rates after LRYGB can range from anywhere between 0.2 and 9% [6]. Currently, there is no clear standardized consensus toward the technical management of mesenteric defects (closure vs. non-closure), and given the heterogeneity of clinical practice, comparisons of surgical outcomes are difficult. There are many non-comparative studies in the literature describ­ing less internal hernia rates with the closure of mesenteric defects. There are also studies advocating that closure of mesenteric defects can be facultative, as there is no difference between groups [7]. Some believe that a wide open mes­enteric defect will actually decrease the risk of strangulation secondary to an internal hernia.
A recent comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis examined clo­sure vs. non-closure of mesenteric defects in LRYGB [8]. They identied a total of 12,640 patients from 2 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 6 retrospec­tive cohort studies. Their analysis concluded that closure of mesenteric defects was associated with lower risks of internal hernia and reoperation for suspected small bowel obstruction compared with non-closure of mesenteric defects. Observational studies demonstrated a lower risk, 2% vs. 10%, in the closure group compared to the non-closure group. Also, the two RCTs showed a lower risk as well, 2% vs. 7%, in the closure groups [9, 10]. Interestingly, there may be an associated higher risk of small bowel obstruction not related to an internal hernia and early small bowel obstruction in the closure groups. This last observa­tion was from only two studies, of which one showed no difference between groups; therefore, this remains to be studied further given the low level and uncertainty of the evidence.

44.3 Experience inDuodenal Switch/Derivatives
The BPD/DS and its derivatives are very effective malabsorptive procedures that offer sustained weight loss and provide impressive reversal of obesity-related comorbidities. Although these procedures only make up roughly 1% of the total procedures performed worldwide, there has always been a great interest in their promising long-term results from experienced centers [11]. In order to discuss the associated mesenteric defects, it is important to highlight the differences encoun­tered anatomically in these procedures compared to the LRYGB.
The standard BPD/DS is a combination of a sleeve gastrectomy and a Roux-en-Y intestinal bypass. In this procedure, there is a common channel of 100cm and a total alimentary limb of 250cm. The alimentary limb is connected via an end-to-side duodeno-ileal anastomosis, roughly 2–3cm distal to the pylorus. Given this ana­tomic conguration, we expect to encounter a mesenteric defect at the common channel anastomosis with the biliary limb (ileo-ileostomy defect) and a Petersen defect from an anti-colic Roux limb duodeno-ileal anastomosis. Similar to LRYGB, most technique descriptions discuss the closure of the ileo-ileostomy defect; how­ever, the Petersen defect closure is often still debated. It seems, though, that ndings from the experience in LRYGB may have most likely been translated over to these procedures and have convinced surgeons on the routine closure of these defects.
On the other hand, the SADI-S and the SIPS are fairly new procedures. They are believed to be simplied alternatives to the BPD/DS with less potential malabsorp­tive/malnutrition complications and, of course, one less anastomosis. The SADI-S was rst described by Sanchez-Pernaute and Torres in 2007 and has now evolved to consist of a sleeve gastrectomy with a common channel of 250–300cm via a loop duodeno-ileal anastomosis [12]. In 2013, Cottam and Roslin described the SIPS procedure, which consists of a similar anatomical conguration; however, the com­mon channel is longer, measuring 300cm [13, 14]. Generally speaking, these pro­cedures claim to minimize and/or eliminate the risk of an internal hernia given the single “loop” anastomosis conguration. Torres describes that, after a one-loop reconstruction, the rate of internal hernia is reduced to almost nil [12]. In their series, there was no single case of internal hernia; however, they lacked long-term follow-up. Bekuzarov etal. recently published a series comparing SADI-S 250cm vs. standard BPD/DS and reviewed their 5-year results [15]. They observed a lower rate of small bowel obstructions in SADI-S vs. BPD/DS; however, there was never any mention of complications secondary to internal hernias. They simply state that there was never a need to close the mesenteric defect to prevent internal hernias. It is believed that since there is no division to the small bowel and/or mesentery, the loop duodeno-ileal anastomosis provides a large open contiguous “space” which makes it rare for the occurrence of an internal hernia.
Over the years, there has been a multitude of publications debating the impor­tance of mesenteric defect closure in LRYGB [13, 6, 9, 10]. However, there is very limited data in the literature regarding the same for laparoscopic BPD/DS and its

derivatives. This may be a reection of the highly specialized nature of this proce­dure. When reviewing the literature, for BPD/DS and its derivatives, there are a few case reports discussing internal hernias through mesenteric defects. There are no available randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, or meta-analyses.
Khwaja etal. reported a case series of four patients who underwent laparoscopic BPD/DS and who presented with symptomatic Petersen hernias [16]. Prior to this case series, their group always closed the ileo-ileostomy defect, but did not close the Petersen defect. They reported 4 out of 158 patients (2.5%) with Petersen hernias that required surgery. One of these cases unfortunately resulted in a laparotomy and resection of an ischemic alimentary limb. They since then now advocate on the routine closure of all mesenteric defects and describe this as simple and pragmatic.
Other reported rates of internal hernias post-laparoscopic BPD/DS in the litera­ture have been from Silecchia etal., whereby 2 of 27 (7.4%) patients were operated for an internal hernia [17]. However, details regarding operative technique of defects and the type of hernia were not mentioned. Comeau etal., in 2004, highlight their experience with symptomatic internal hernias in patients having undergone LRYGB and laparoscopic BPD/DS [18]. Their internal hernia rate was 3.3% (35/1064), and from this, 6/248 patients (2.4%) had undergone a BPD/DS.Interestingly enough,
94.3% of the internal hernias were in patients who did not have primary closure of their mesenteric defects. The authors therefore recommend that the best course of management in prevention is to routinely close all mesenteric defects. Another pro­spective review by Al-Tai etal. observed a 5% internal hernia rate in patients under­going BDP/DS and all of these patients did not have primary closure of their mesenteric defects [19].
One of the reasons why many advocate for the SADI-S is because of the single loop anastomosis that theoretically eliminates the risk of an internal hernia [20]. Recently, Surve etal. published, in 2020, a case report of the very rst reported Petersen internal hernia in a SADI-S patient [21]. This hernia was reduced and the Petersen defect was closed. Although it may be a rare occurrence indeed, the pos­sibility of this complication is still present. Another interesting case report by Summerhays etal., in 2015, described a case of an internal hernia after a revisional laparoscopic SADI-S [22]. In this case, there was an adhesion causing the afferent limb of the loop to rotate 180° in a counterclockwise fashion toward the right side of the abdominal cavity creating a small bowel obstruction. Though this was not a typical Petersen hernia, some may express that if the mesenteric space underneath the anastomosis was closed, this may have prevented this volvulus type of twisting from the anastomosis.
44.4 Closure Techniques
Given the evidence, most surgeons can agree that closure of mesenteric defects at the initial operation can help minimize the risk of potential future postoperative internal hernia complications. Although it does not absolutely eliminate the risk, at least everything was done initially to prevent this. It is unclear, however, on the
44 Closing theMesenteric Defects

long-term integrity of these closures over time given the signicant weight loss patients experience, which is associated with less mesenteric fat, and the possibility of space opening. There is a denite learning curve involved in closing these defects, all while also ensuring minimal complications secondary from the closures them­selves. Most studies have mentioned that in experienced hands, routine closure is safe [2]. There is no signicant addition to operative times, and there is also no signicant difference in complication rates such as bleeding from the mesentery, bowel obstruction related to kinking at the anastomosis, or possible stitch bezoar/ abscess [3].
Closure of mesenteric defect techniques may vary from surgeon to surgeon, and for the most part, these techniques strongly depend on training experiences. Over the years, given the rise in bariatric surgery cases, especially the LRYGB, we have seen a diverse set of described closure methods, such as closure of mesenteric defects with an absorbable or non-absorbable suture, the type of suture material used, whether it is an interrupted or running fashion, closure with clips, and closure with staplers or topical adhesive compounds [8, 23]. Given the art of surgery, these various techniques may vary from surgeon to surgeon and therefore so do respective surgical outcomes. In order to better understand the effectiveness of each technique, there needs to be ongoing self-assessment of surgeon/center outcomes. With that said, this heterogeneity in the literature may make it rather difcult to declare a “standard of care.” Currently, there is no standard when it comes to mesenteric defect closures; however, the majority of the evidence aims to recommend that rou­tine closure of all mesenteric defects with a non-absorbable running suture is safe and minimizes the risks of internal hernia postoperatively [8].
In our institution, our policy has been to close all mesenteric defects, whether in a laparoscopic RYGB, BPD/DS, or SADI-S procedure. We are a bariatric and meta­bolic surgery center, specializing in a high volume of laparoscopic BPD/DS. In 2013, Biertho etal. published a consecutive series of 1000 BPD/DS [11]. Since the 1990s, the procedure of choice was an “open” BPD/DS, and in 2006, there was the introduction of the laparoscopic BPD/DS.There was a total of 772 laparotomies and 228 laparoscopic BPD/DS.Of these cases, there was a total of four patients that were operated on for a repair of an internal hernia.
With regard to the closure of the mesenteric defects during a laparoscopic BPD/ DS, the following principles are usually taken into consideration. Given some vari­ability between surgeons in our institution, the agreed-upon standard for our clo­sures is the use of a 2.0 non-absorbable suture in a running fashion. The suture material can vary from a Prolene, barbed, or Ethibond.
44.5 Ileo-ileostomy Defect (See Video 44.1)
The ileo-ileostomy defect closure is performed, from a caudad to cephalad direc­tion, after a stapled side-to-side anti-peristaltic anastomosis is created and hand­sewn closure of the common enterotomy. This anastomosis usually lies in the patient’s right mid-abdominal cavity. Typically, our patients are operated in a split

leg position with the option of having the left arm tucked to their side if possible. For the creation of the ileo-ileostomy, we are usually on the patient’s left side, and the same goes for the closure of the mesenteric defect. The assistant, on the left side as well, will typically retract the anastomosis toward the right upper quadrant using the stay suture, initially placed to line up and expose the small bowel for the anas­tomosis. The common channel and the biliopancreatic limb are then retracted later­ally on either ends to expose the root of the mesentery, like opening a book. Once the defect is exposed, the suture is started at the root of the mesentery, ensuring that no opening at this area is left. This part of the closure is crucial in order to avoid a potential small space for herniation. The closure is then completed in the direction toward the small bowel, all while avoiding deep suture bites into the mesentery and ensuring equal symmetrical distances along the way. Care must be taken to ensure one is not travelling too posteriorly, in order to avoid twisting of the small bowel. Some surgeons may also choose to complete this closure in a purse-string fashion. Once we have reached the top of the small bowel, one or two serosal bites are taken to approximate both ends of the small bowel in order to completely close the defect. The suture is then tied to itself, or a small metal clip is placed if using a barbed suture. Careful inspection of the anastomosis is recommended to ensure no kinking, twisting, or narrowing of the lumen.
44.6 Petersen Defect (See Video 44.2)
The Petersen defect during a laparoscopic BPD/DS is closed using a very similar approach. This space is usually found in the right upper quadrant of the patient. It is directly beneath the anti-colic duodeno-ileal anastomosis, between the alimentary limb and the transverse mesocolon. The closure can be addressed from the patient’s left side or in between the legs. In order to gain adequate exposure, the omentum to the right of the anastomosis is reected upward and over the transverse colon, taking care to not pull more transverse colon through the space than necessary. The assistant will grasp the transverse mesocolon to expose the base of the Petersen defect within the mesocolon and small bowel mesentery. The rst bite of the suture is generally anchored on the lateral edge of the mesocolon then traveling toward the base and onto the alimentary limb mesentery. The closure is completed in a running fashion, mov­ing toward the transverse colon and alimentary limb junction. Sometimes, incorpora­tion of the omentum is needed to ensure the complete closure of the space at the apex.
In our center, we also use the same principles when closing the SADI-S Petersen defect. This space can sometimes be wider depending on the base of the mesentery and transverse mesocolon given the nature of the loop anastomosis. In our experi­ence with Petersen defect closures for BPD/DS, we are comfortable closing this space in a SADI-S; even though the theoretical risk for an internal hernia is mini­mal, it has not been shown to be zero (see Video 44.3).
