Candy cane syndrome is a complication that occurs following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, implicated as a long, small bowel blind limb at gastrojejunostomy possibly caused using circular staplers.

Conflicting studies have investigated the association between obesity, Metabolic and Bariatric surgery (MBS), and cancer.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have revolutionized the care of patients with metabolic disease due in part to the agonists’ unique combination of effects, including decreasing hyperglycemia and enhancement of satiety [1,2]. GLP-1, a naturally secreted polypeptide, acts on the GLP-1R in multiple organs, including the pancreas, brain, heart, kidney, and stomach [3]. In the gastrointestinal tract, GLP-1 signals are part of the “ileal brake,” increasing gastric emptying time.

Magnetic digestive anastomosis has the potential to reduce anastomotic complications and complexity. We report the 1-year results of a new surgical technique using Self-forming Neodymium magnet Anastomosis Procedure with Sleeve gastrectomy (SNAP-S, GI-Windows).
