About

Dr. Lori Gaskins is a leading bariatric surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the understanding of duodenal switch procedures for severe obesity. Her work focuses on optimizing surgical safety and long-term effectiveness, particularly comparing single-anastomosis (SADI-S) and traditional double-anastomosis techniques. In her landmark 2018 study, with 43 citations, she demonstrated that SADI-S offers comparable weight loss outcomes with potentially fewer complications, challenging established surgical norms. Her 2017 two-year follow-up study, cited 31 times, provided crucial evidence on the durability and safety of the single-anastomosis approach at a major US institution. Dr. Gaskins’ contributions have helped refine patient selection criteria and surgical protocols, directly influencing clinical guidelines. Her research is widely referenced by surgeons and metabolic health specialists, making her a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive bariatric surgery.
