Abstract
Sleeve gastrectomy is a safe and effective bariatric surgery in terms of weight loss and longterm improvement or resolution of comorbidities. However, its achilles heel is the possible association with the development with the novo and/or worsening of pre-existing gastroesophageal reflux disease. The anatomical and mechanical changes that this technique induces in the esophagogastric junction, support or contradict this hypothesis. Questions such as «what is the natural history of gastroesophageal reflux in the patient undergoing gastric sleeve surgery?», «how many patients after vertical gastrectomy will develop gastroesophageal reflux?» and «how many patients will worsen their previous reflux after this technique?» are intended to be addressed in the present article.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Portomesenteric vein thrombosis (PMVT) is a rare but potentially fatal complication of sleeve gastrectomy (SG). The rising prevalence of SG has led to a surge in the occurrence of PMVT, while the associated risk factors have not been fully elucidated. This study aims to determine the incidence and risk factors of PMVT in patients undergoing SG. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed and EMBASE databases. Proportion and regression meta-analyses were conducted. RESULTS In a total of 76 studies including 101,914 patients undergoing SG, we identified 357 patients with PMVT. Mean follow-up was 14.4 (SD: 16.3) months. The incidence of PMVT was found to be 0.50% (95%CI: 0.40-0.61%). The majority of the population presented with abdominal pain (91.8%) at an average of 22.4 days postoperatively and PMVT was mainly diagnosed with computed tomography (CT) (96.0%). Hematologic abnormalities predisposing to thrombophilia were identified in 34.9% of the population. Advanced age (p=0.02) and low center volume (p <0.0001) were significantly associated with PMVT, while gender, BMI, hematologic abnormality, prior history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, type of prophylactic anticoagulation, and duration of prophylactic anticoagulation were not associated with the incidence of PMVT in meta-regression analyses. Treatment included therapeutic anticoagulation in 93.4% and the mortality rate was 4/357 (1.1%). CONCLUSION PMVT is a rare complication of sleeve gastrectomy with an incidence rate <1% that is associated with low center volume and advanced age but is not affected by the duration or type of thromboprophylaxis administered postoperatively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the incidence of long-term de novo acid reflux-related complications following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) to determine whether routine postoperative surveillance endoscopy is necessary. METHODS A systematic search of Medline, Embase, CINAHL, CENTRAL, the Web of Science, and bibliographic reference lists was conducted. A proportion meta-analysis model was constructed to quantify the risk of the de novo gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), oesophagitis, and Barrett's oesophagus (BE) at least 4 years after SG. Random-effects modelling was applied to calculate pooled outcome data. RESULTS Thirty-two observational studies were included reporting a total of 7904 patients who underwent primary SG and were followed up for at least 4 years. The median follow-up period was 60 months (48-132). Preoperative acid-reflux symptoms existed in 19.1% ± 15.1% of the patients. The risk of development of de novo GORD, oesophagitis, and BE after SG was 24.8% (95% CI 18.6-31.0%), 27.9% (95% CI 17.7-38.1%), and 6.7% (95% CI 3.7-9.7%), respectively. The between-study heterogeneity was significant in all outcome syntheses. It was suspected that several of the included studies have not reported BE and oesophagitis because such events might not have happened in their cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Long-term risk of de novo GORD after SG seems to be comparable with those of the general population which questions the merit of surveillance endoscopy after SG in asymptomatic patients. De novo BE and oesophagitis after SG have not been reported by most of the available studies which may lead to overestimation of the rates of both outcomes in any evidence synthesis. We recommend endoscopic surveillance for symptomatic patients only.

Abstract
The study aims to systematically review the available literature to evaluate the changes in oral microbiota in patients after bariatric surgery (BS) and correlates these alterations in microorganisms with common oral manifestations. Relevant Electronic databases were systematically searched for indexed English literature. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed for framework designing, application, and reporting of the current systematic review. The focused PICO question was: "Is there any change in oral microbiota (O) of patients (P) who underwent BS (I) when compared with non-BS groups (C)?' Seven articles were selected for qualitative synthesis. On application of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) quality assessment tool, six studies were found to be of fair quality and one was of good quality. All the seven included studies evaluated the effect of BS on oral microbiota in humans. The outcomes of this review suggest that considerable changes take place in oral microbiota after BS which can be correlated with common oral manifestations. These changes are mainly due to the indirect effect of BS and may vary with the individuals. Due to variations in the included studies, it is difficult to proclaim any persistent pattern of oral microbiota found after BS.

Sleeve gastrectomy morphology and long-term weight-loss and gastroesophageal reflux disease outcomes. Surg Endosc 2023:10.1007/s00464-022-09555-6. [PMID: 36645483 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-022-09555-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between sleeve gastrectomy (SG) morphology and long-term weight-loss and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) outcomes is unknown. METHODS All patients (n = 268) undergoing SG performed by 3 surgeons at a single academic institution from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012 were included. Long-term weight-loss and GERD outcomes were available for 90 patients which were incorporated in analyses. SG morphology was determined from postoperative day 1 upper gastrointestinal series (UGIS) available from 50 patients. Images were independently categorized using previously published methodology as Dumbbell (38%), Lower Pouch (22%), Tubular (26%), or Upper Pouch (14%) by Radiologist and Surgeon. Radiologist categorization was used when disagreement occurred (8%). Univariable analyses were conducted to explore potential associations between SG morphology, weight loss, and GERD outcomes. RESULTS Follow-up was 8.2 ± 0.9 years. Population characteristics included age of 45.1 ± 10.8 years, female sex in 83.3%, and hiatal hernia repair (HHR) performed at index SG in 17.8%. Surgeons did not preferentially achieve a specific SG morphology. Changes from preoperative obesity and associated diseases comprised body mass index (BMI) (49.5 ± 7.6 vs. 39.2 ± 9.4 kg/m2; p < 0.0001), diabetes mellitus (30.0 vs. 12.2%; p = 0.0006), hypertension (70.0 vs. 54.4%; p = 0.0028), hyperlipidemia (42.2 vs. 24.2%;p = 0.0017), obstructive sleep apnea (41.1 vs. 15.6%; p < 0.0001), osteoarthritis (48.9 vs. 13.3%; p < 0.0001), back pain (46.5 vs. 28.9%; p = 0.0035), and medications (4.8 ± 3.3 vs. 3.7 ± 3.5; p < 0.0001). Dumbbell SG morphology was associated with lesser reduction in BMI at follow-up (--6.8 ± 7.2 vs. -12.4 ± 8.3 kg/m2; p = 0.0196) while greater BMI change was appreciated with Lower Pouch SG shape (-16.9 ± 9.9 vs. -8.4 ± 6.8 kg/m2; p = 0.0017). GERD was more prevalent at follow-up than baseline (67.8 vs. 47.8%; p < 0.0001). GERD-specific outcomes included de novo (51.1%), persistent (27.9%), worsened (58.1%), and resolved (14.0%) disease. Ten patients underwent reoperation for refractory GERD with SG morphology corresponding to Dumbbell (n = 5) and Upper Pouch (n = 1) for those with available UGIS. Univariable analyses showed that patients with GERD experienced a larger reduction in BMI compared with patients without GERD (-11.8 ± 7.7 vs. -7.0 ± 5.1 kg/m2; p = 0.0007). Patient age, surgeon, morphology category, and whether a HHR was done at index SG were not associated with the presence of any, de novo, or worsened GERD. Female sex was associated with worsened GERD (96.0 vs. 4.0%; p = 0.0455). Type of calibration device, distance from staple line to pylorus, and whether staple line reinforcement was used were not associated with SG morphology classification. CONCLUSION This is the first study assessing the impact of SG morphology on long-term weight loss and GERD. Our data suggest an association between SG morphology and long-term weight loss but not with GERD outcomes. Current technical standards may be limited in reproducing the same SG morphology. This information may help guide the technical optimization and standardization of SG. Surgeons did not favor a specific SG morphology (1). Our results signal to a relationship between radiographic assessment of SG morphology and long-term weight-loss outcomes with Dumbbell classification correlated with lesser reduction in BMI (2a) and Lower Pouch morphology associated with superior weight loss (2b).

Abstract
Background The main adverse effect is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with concern on the development of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma in the long term. However, the relationship between SG and GERD is complex. The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate all published data existing in the literature to evaluate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on GERD, esophagitis, BE in order to clarify the long-term clinical sequelae of this procedure. Materials and methods This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the guidelines for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review. The work has been reported in line with the PRISMA criteria [19]. We evaluated the quality and risk of bias of this Systematic Review using AMSTAR 2 checklist [20]. Published studies that contained outcome data for primary sleeve gastrectomy associated with the primary and secondary outcomes listed below were included. The UIN for ClinicalTrial.gov Protocol Registration and Results System is: NCT05178446 for the Organization UFoggia. Results 49 articles were eligible for inclusion that met the following criteria: publications dealing with patients undergoing laparoscopic SG, publications describing pre- and postoperative GERD symptoms and/or esophageal function tests, articles in English, human studies and text complete available. Conclusions We have controversial data on LSG and GERD in the literature as there is a multifactorial relationship between LSG and GERD. The most recent studies have shown satisfactory control of postoperative reflux in most patients and low rates of de novo GERD. These data are leading to wider acceptance of LSG as a bariatric procedure even in obese patients with GERD. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on GERD. In the literature there are controversial results on the onset of GERD after LSG. Satisfactory control of postoperative reflux in most patients and low rates of de novo GERD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Initial radiologic appearance rather than management strategy predicts the outcomes of sleeve gastrectomy leaks. OBJECTIVE Multiple modalities have been advocated for the treatment of sleeve gastrectomy leak, and there remains no consensus on the best treatment paradigm. For more than 10 years, we have variably attempted luminal occlusive therapies and repeated endoscopic debridement as treatment options. By evaluating the outcomes from these approaches, we aimed to determine whether the first management strategy is superior to the second in terms of outcomes. METHODS Patients were analyzed by group (luminal occlusive therapy versus repeated endoscopic debridement). Leaks were then stratified by radiologic appearance on computed tomography, defined as phlegmon, collection, contrast medium leak, or fistula. The primary outcome was length of stay (LOS). Secondary outcomes were comprehensive complication index and the need for resection. RESULTS There were 54 patients, with 22 in the luminal occlusion group and 32 in the repeated debridement group. There was no difference in LOS (59.8 ± 41.6 versus 46.5 ± 51.2 days, P = .179) and no difference in the requirement for resection (4 versus 3 resections, p = .425). Subset analysis suggested that patients who underwent operative versus conservative management (P = .006) had a longer LOS. Excluding management strategy, radiologic appearance on admission significantly predicted LOS (P = .0053). Patients presenting with fistula (84 ± 25.4 days) and contrast medium leak (64.1 ± 40 days) had a significantly longer LOS than those diagnosed with phlegmon (13.5 ± 5.5 days). Radiologic appearance was predictive of complication severity (P < .0001) and salvage resection (P = .008). CONCLUSION There was no significant difference in outcomes between patients treated with intraluminal occlusion or repeated debridement. Initial radiologic appearance was predictive of LOS and complication severity. This highlights the need for routine use of a validated classification system in studies reporting outcomes and treatment of sleeve leaks.

Abstract
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies (LSGs) can experience weight-loss failure and conversion to another bariatric procedure. An analysis of the bariatric literature concerning the single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) as revisional surgery after LSG in terms of safety and efficacy identified 607 studies. Fifty-nine studies were analyzed for full content review and 9 primary studies (398 patients) were included. Revisional single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI) was performed in 294 patients at a mean interval of 37.7 months (range 11-179). Total weight loss (%) varies from 20.5% to 46.2%. Early complications after surgery occurred in 4.1% surgeries including leak (7 cases -1.9%). Mortality was nil. SADI after LSG, after failed sleeve gastrectomy or as a sequential procedure, offers a satisfactory weight loss result. Both early and late term complications are acceptable.

Abstract
Sleeve gastrectomy continues to be the most commonly performed bariatric operation worldwide. Development or worsening of pre-existing GERD has been recognized as a significant issue postoperatively. There is a paucity of information concerning the most appropriate preoperative workup and the technical and anatomical factors that may or may not contribute to the occurrence of reflux symptoms. Contemporary data quality is deficient given the predominantly retrospective nature, limited follow-up time, and heterogeneous outcome measures across studies. This has produced mixed results regarding the postoperative incidence and severity of GERD. Ultimately, better-constructed investigations are needed in order to offer evidence-based recommendations that may guide preoperative workup and improved patient selection criteria.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) patients have substantially altered anatomy. The mechanism of rapid gastric emptying and the role of esophageal contractile function in esophago-gastric transit has not been defined. We aimed to determine the mechanisms of esophago-gastric transit and role of esophageal function following sleeve gastrectomy. METHODS Prospective study of twenty-six asymptomatic participants post SG underwent nuclear scintigraphy and high-resolution manometry. Fourteen had semi-solid stress barium to model the emptying process. Concurrent video fluoroscopy and manometry were performed on 7 participants. RESULTS Demographic data are as follows: age 45.3 ± 15.0 years, 73.1% female, excess weight loss 62.2 ± 28.1% at 8 months. Scintigraphy showed rapid gastric emptying (24.4 ± 11.4 vs. 75.80 ± 45.19 min in control, p < 0.001) with 35.24 ± 17.12% of bolus transited into small bowel on initial frame. Triggered deglutitive reflux was common (54.4% vs. 18.2%, p = 0.017). Stress barium delineated separate vertical and antral gastric compartments with cyclical emptying of 8 stages, including reflux-induced repeated esophageal peristalsis. During manometry, ramping effects were noted, with sequential swallows producing sustained isobaric pressurizations in proximal stomach (33.6 ± 29.5 mmHg). Video fluoroscopy showed individual esophageal peristalsis generating pressurizations at 5.0 ± 1.4 cm below lower esophageal sphincter (LES), at amplitude of 31.6 ± 13.1 mmHg, associated with intragastric transit. Pressurizations were sustained for 17.3 ± 8.2 s, similar to the prolonged LES contraction (18.5 ± 9.0 s, p = 0.355). CONCLUSIONS Repeated esophageal peristaltic contractions induced isobaric pressurization of proximal stomach, thus providing the drive to pressurize and empty the vertical compartment of the gastric sleeve. Transit following SG appeared to be esophageal-mediated and followed a distinct cycle with strong associations with reflux.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sleeve gastrectomy is now the commonest bariatric procedure worldwide, making it important to determine 5-year weight loss and micronutrient deficiency outcomes following primary, stand-alone sleeve gastrectomy (SG) with adequate follow-up. The purpose of this study was to evaluate weight loss, co-morbidity resolution, and haematological outcomes at 5 years with primary, stand-alone SG in our unit. MATERIALS AND METHODS Baseline data were obtained from our prospectively maintained database and patients were invited for a 5-year follow-up. For those who could not attend, further information was obtained by telephoning them and contacting their general practitioners. RESULTS A total of 92 patients (66 females) underwent primary SG at our centre in 2011. The median age was 46.0 years. The median weight and the body mass index (BMI) were 133.0 kg and 47.0 kg/m2 respectively. After 5 years, 7 (7.6%) patients had died due to unrelated causes and 11 (12.0%) had been converted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Of the remaining 74, we were able to obtain follow-up data on 64 (86.5%). Despite all efforts, 10 (13.5%) patients were lost to follow-up. The median total weight loss was 21.9% and median excess weight loss (EWL) was 48.0%. Patients developed a range of micronutrient deficiencies over the follow-up period. CONCLUSION This study shows acceptable results with SG at 5 years in our unit, but a large number of patients experienced GORD and some patients needed additional micronutrient supplementation over and above our unit recommendation of a single multivitamin/mineral A-Z tablet daily.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is an effective therapeutic procedure for morbidly obese patients. The 2 most common interventions are sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare microbiome long-term microbiome after SG and LRYGB surgery in obese patients. SETTING University Hospital, France; University Hospital, United States; and University Hospital, Switzerland. METHODS Eighty-nine and 108 patients who underwent SG and LRYGB, respectively, were recruited. Stools were collected before and 6 months after surgery. Microbial DNA was analyzed with shotgun metagenomic sequencing (SOLiD 5500 xl Wildfire). MSPminer, a novel innovative tool to characterize new in silico biological entities, was used to identify 715 Metagenomic Species Pan-genome. One hundred forty-eight functional modules were analyzed using GOmixer and KEGG database. RESULTS Both interventions resulted in a similar increase of Shannon's diversity index and gene richness of gut microbiota, in parallel with weight loss, but the changes of microbial composition were different. LRYGB led to higher relative abundance of aero-tolerant bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and buccal species, such as Streptococcus and Veillonella spp. In contrast, anaerobes, such as Clostridium, were more abundant after SG, suggesting better conservation of anaerobic conditions in the gut. Enrichment of Akkermansia muciniphila was also observed after both surgeries. Function-level changes included higher potential for bacterial use of supplements, such as vitamin B12, B1, and iron upon LRYGB. CONCLUSION Microbiota changes after bariatric surgery depend on the nature of the intervention. LRYGB induces greater taxonomic and functional changes in gut microbiota than SG. Possible long-term health consequences of these alterations remain to be established.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Super obesity (BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The best procedure to treat super obesity is not completely established. Our aim was to compare the effectiveness of bariatric procedures (adjustable gastric band [AGB], Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [RYGB], sleeve gastrectomy [SG]) in super obesity. METHODS Retrospective observational study of super obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery. Data was assessed preoperatively and in the 1st and 2nd years of follow-up. RESULTS We evaluated 213 individuals, 77.9% female, age of 43.38 ± 11.49 years, and preoperative BMI of 54.53 ± 4.54 kg/m2; 19 submitted to AGB, 127 to RYGB, and 67 to SG. In the pre-surgical assessment, there were no significant differences in age, anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, glycemic profile, and lipid profile between the three surgical groups. The percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) in the 1st year was 67.58% in RYGB, 58.74% in SG, and 38.71% in AGB (p < 0.001), and the percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) was 36.29%, 31.59%, and 21.07%, respectively (p < 0.001). Two years after surgery (n = 147; follow-up rate of 69%), the %EWL and %TWL were significantly higher in the RYGB group (p < 0.001). RYGB had a higher success rate (%EWL ≥ 50% and %TWL ≥ 20%) in both years of follow-up (p < 0.001). In multiple linear regression, after adjusting for other covariates, RYGB was the only strong predictive factor of %EWL and %TWL (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION RYGB proved to be more effective in super obesity. The beneficial effects in weight loss were evident both 1 and 2 years after the procedure, regardless of pre-surgical anthropometric characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Utilization of the robotic platform has become more common in bariatric applications. We aim to show that robotic revisional bariatric surgery (RRBS) can be safely performed in a complex patient population with perioperative outcomes equivalent to laparoscopic revisional bariatric surgery (LRBS). METHODS Retrospective review was conducted of adult patients undergoing laparoscopic revisional bariatric surgery (LRBS) or robotic revisional bariatric surgery (RRBS) at our institution from September 2007 to December 2016. Patients undergoing planned two-stage bariatric procedures were excluded. RESULTS A total of 84 patients who underwent LRBS (n = 66) or RRBS (n = 18) were included. The index operation was adjustable gastric banding (AGB) in 39/84 (46%), sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) in 23/84 (27%), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in 13/84 (16%), and vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) in 9/84 (11%). For patients undergoing conversion from AGB (n = 39), there was no difference in operative time, length of stay, or complications by surgical approach. For patients undergoing conversion from a stapled procedure (n = 45), the robotic approach was associated with a shorter length of stay (5.8 ± 3.3 vs 3.7 ± 1.7 days, p = 0.04) with equivalent operative time and post-operative complications. There were three leaks in the LRBS group and none in the RRBS group (p = 0.36). Major complications occurred in 3/39 (8%) of patients undergoing conversion from AGB and 2/45 (4%) of patients undergoing conversion from a stapled procedure (p = 0.53) with no difference by surgical approach. CONCLUSIONS RRBS is associated with a shorter length of stay than LRBS in complex procedures and has at least an equivalent safety profile. Long-term follow-up data is needed.

Abstract
Obesity is a health issue that can lead to medical and psychological problems. Recently, bariatric surgery has become the best choice for treatment of selected candidates. As the number of bariatric surgeries increases, various related postoperative complications are being encountered. Most studies have been concerned with abdominal complications and thoracic complications were beyond their scope. The aim of this report was to review thoracic complications following bariatric surgery, in terms of incidence, management, and outcome. A literature search of English language published data concerning thoracic complications related to or following bariatric surgery was performed in November 2018. A total of 10,145 results were found. After screening titles and abstracts, 10,060 noneligible publications were excluded. Eighty-five publications were potentially eligible and their full texts were analyzed. After excluding overlapping series of patients, 44 studies were selected. These included 934 patients. Females accounted for 87.9% of the included patients. Ages ranged between 21 and 64 years (mean 43.86 ± 4.4 years). Most frequently encountered complications were esophageal (80.84%) followed by pulmonary (17.45%). The majority of esophageal complications were functional (82.38%) in contrast to the pulmonary type that were mostly organic (87.73%). There were 5 documented deaths. We concluded that thoracic complications are not infrequent after bariatric surgery. Esophageal and pulmonary are the most common thoracic complications reported. The outcome is usually favorable. Mortality may be avoided when complications are detected early and well-managed.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has some unique complications, the most concerning of which is sleeve leak. Staple line reinforcement (SLR) has been suggested as a means of decreasing the risk of sleeve leak, but it increases the cost. However, there is little in the literature regarding the effect of standardized operative technique in reducing the complications and improving the outcomes in LSG. We sought to demonstrate that standardization of the operative procedure and perioperative care is the key to an excellent 30-day outcome and that SLR is not necessary to ensure a negligible staple line leak and bleeding rate. Methods: A prospectively maintained database was analyzed to identify 303 consecutive patients undergoing LSG between July 2010 and November 2017. Data on patient demographics, length of hospital stay, conversion to open surgery, perioperative complications, and mortality were analyzed. Standardized operative technique and postoperative protocol were followed in all cases. SLR was not used in any case. Results: Among 303 cases, there were 15 complications (5%), 5 (1.7%) of which were severe (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥3a). There were no conversions to open procedure, no staple line leaks, and no inpatient deaths in the cohort. No patient was readmitted with an early stricture. Conclusions: The use of a standardized operative and postoperative protocol led to an excellent early outcome in our LSG cases. Standardization may act to obviate the need for routine SLR techniques which are associated with a significant financial cost to both patient and hospital.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of obesity with atrial fibrillation (AF) and with ventricular arrhythmias is well documented. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether weight reduction by a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has any effect on P wave dispersion (PWD), a predictor of AF, and corrected QT interval dispersion (CQTD), a marker of ventricular arrhythmias, in obese individuals. METHODS In a prospective study, a total of 114 patients (79 females, 35 males) who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were examined. The patients were followed 1 year. PWD and CQTD values before and 3rd, 6th, and 12th months after the surgery were calculated and compared. RESULTS There was a statistically significant decline in body mass index (BMI), PWD, and CQTD values among baseline, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). Correlation analysis showed a statistically significant correlation between ΔPWD and ΔBMI (r = 0.719, p < 0.001), ΔPWD and Δleft ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (r = 0.291, p = 0.002), ΔPWD and Δleft atrial diameter (LAD) (r = 0.65, p < 0.001), ΔCQTD and ΔBMI (r = 0.266, p = 0.004), ΔCQTD and ΔLVEDD (r = 0.35, p < 0.001), ΔCQTD and ΔLAD (r = 0.289, p = 0.002). In multiple linear regression analysis, there was a statistically significant relationship between ΔPWD and ΔBMI (β = 0.713, p < 0.001), ΔPWD and ΔLVEDD (β = 0.174, p = 0.016), ΔPWD and ΔLAD (β = 0.619, p < 0.001), ΔCQTD and ΔBMI (β = 0.247, p = 0.011), ΔCQTD and ΔLVEDD (β = 0.304, p < 0.001), ΔCQTD and ΔLAD (β = 0.235, p = 0.009). CONCLUSION PWD and CQTD values of patients were shown to be attenuated after bariatric surgery. These results indirectly offer that there may be a reduction in risk of AF, ventricular arrhythmia, and sudden cardiac death after obesity surgery.

Bariatric surgery became consensual after the NIH consensus of 1991 and the appearance of laparoscopic approach. This type of operation has a functional role (improvement of quality of life, locomotion and digestive symptoms as gastro-esophageal reflux disease), a prevention role (increase in life expectancy, reduction of risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease) and a curative role (remission of diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and arterial hypertension). The laparoscopic approach for bariatric surgery led to a major reduction of postoperative morbi-mortality. Types and rates of complications after bariatric surgery vary according to the procedure. The efficiency of each technique is closely related to its morbi-mortality rate. This concept explains the disparity concerning the choice of the adequate procedure for the patient according to the bariatric team. The risk/benefits balance evaluation must be analyzed case-by-case by each specialist of the multidisciplinary bariatric staff and explained to the patients before final decision. This preoperative period (6 to 12 months) is crucial to select good candidates for bariatric surgery and contributes to the reduction of postoperative complications. A multidisciplinary surveillance for life is mandatory to prevent and treat late complications of bariatric surgery.
