With the swift evolution of bariatric and metabolic surgery, additional procedures building upon sleeve gastrectomy have consistently surfaced. Recent studies suggest that sleeve gastrectomy with jejunojejunal bypass (SG-JJB) yields superior short-term weight reduction outcomes compared to sleeve gastrectomy alone, with weight loss and glycemic control effects akin to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and without significant complications. As a result, SG-JJB is regarded as a safe and efficacious bariatric procedure, noted for its technical simplicity and reversibility, presenting substantial clinical utility. Nonetheless, high-quality, multicenter, large-sample, long-term follow-up randomized controlled trials are essential to further ascertain its long-term efficacy and safety, and to facilitate its standardized implementation. This article seeks to review the advancements in SG-JJB research, evaluate its effectiveness and safety in managing obesity and associated comorbidities, and explore its future developmental trajectory.
