SASI Surgery (Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass)
The SASI procedure, also known as the bipartition surgery or combined SASI, is one of the latest advancements in bariatric surgery. Dr. Ahmed Al-Ansary offers this effective solution for individuals suffering from morbid obesity who wish to achieve significant and safe weight loss results.
What Is SASI Surgery?
SASI surgery is a procedure that combines both sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass to provide the benefits of both operations simultaneously. This surgery is performed in two stages:
Sleeve Gastrectomy: The surgeon removes a large portion of the stomach to reduce its size, causing the patient to feel full quickly after consuming small amounts of food.
Partial Gastric Bypass: The reduced stomach is then connected to the small intestine in a way that decreases the absorption of sugars and fats.
By integrating these two methods, patients experience early satiety and reduced absorption of undesirable nutrients, aiding in weight loss and overall health improvement.
Advantages and Benefits of SASI Surgery
- Dual Effectiveness in Weight Loss: SASI surgery leads to rapid and effective weight loss by combining stomach size reduction with decreased nutrient absorption.
- Improved Blood Sugar Levels: Particularly beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes, the procedure helps improve and regulate blood sugar levels.
- Reduced Appetite: Patients feel satiated more quickly after the surgery, and reduced absorption of fats and sugars helps maintain an ideal weight.
- Decreased Health Risks Associated with Obesity: The surgery lowers the risks of chronic diseases related to obesity, such as hypertension, heart diseases, and sleep disorders.
Why Choose Dr. Ahmed Al-Ansari for SASI Surgery?
Gastric Sleeve: A significant portion of the stomach is removed, which limits food intake and induces a feeling of fullness after small meals.
Partial Gastric Bypass: The remaining part of the stomach is connected directly to the small intestine, reducing the absorption of calories and sugars.

SASI surgery is suitable for individuals who:
Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 40.
Suffer from obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes.
