“…However, the conversion of SRVG into other techniques stands out in its difficulty and the decision regarding which method should be carried out in case of failed SRVG (due to excessive weight loss or weight regain) represents a real challenge (28,29). Some authors reported conversion to LAGB as a consequence of disruption of the staple-line and pouch dilatation accompanied by frequent vomiting (19,30). On the other hand, Elazary et al (31) reported a higher rate of complications after SG as a revisional procedure compared to RYGB resulting in the decision to stop the conversion into SG and highlighting that RYGB is a safer choice.…”

“…However, when the right crus is not adequately visualized, a perigastric approach may be utilized [81]. In one study 40 patients underwent a laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding as a revisional operation for a failed vertical banded gastroplasty [81]. There were three conversions from laparoscopy to laparotomy.…”

“…Therefore, a conversion to another bariatric procedure is always necessary in the case of VBG failure. Results of the conversion from VBG to LAGB have been described infrequently [97,98] because both are purely restrictive procedures and prone to the same complications. The conversion from VBG to BPD is difficult because of the presence of a vertical stapler line but has been described in literature recently [99].…”
