JOURNAL OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY 2024; 27:33-39. [PMID: 38494184 PMCID: PMC10961228 DOI: 10.7602/jmis.2024.27.1.33] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
Purpose This study aims to explore the feasibility and implications of Ramadan fasting for patients who have undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), assessing impacts on hydration, nutrient intake, weight management, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Methods A prospective online survey was conducted among 218 LSG patients and 83 control individuals with obesity who had not undergone surgery. Participants were surveyed before and after Ramadan, providing data on fasting practices, hunger and satiety levels, fluid and nutrient intake, and the occurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms. Statistical analysis was used to compare outcomes between fasting and non-fasting periods and between LSG patients and control participants. Results A total of 70.2% of LSG patients completed the entire month of Ramadan fasting, with a significant correlation found between the duration post-surgery and the ability to fast. Fasting LSG patients reported decreased hunger, increased satiety, and significant reductions in fluid and nutrient intake during Ramadan. Weight loss was reported in 90.8% of fasting patients, with an average total weight loss of 7.2%. Gastrointestinal symptoms were mild and manageable. Conclusion The majority of LSG patients can successfully fast during Ramadan with appropriate precautions, including adequate fluid and protein intake. The study highlights the need for patient education and tailored nutritional guidance to ensure safe and effective fasting post-LSG. In order to fast for the entire month, patients may be advised to consider postponing surgery for a few months after Ramadan, avoid overeating during non-fasting hours, and ensure sufficient fluid consumption and protein intake during fasting.

ReSleeve or revisional one anastomosis gastric bypass for failed primary sleeve gastrectomy with dilated gastric tube: a retrospective study. Surg Endosc 2024; 38:787-798.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) has been increasingly performed due to weight loss failure (WLF). Many revisional procedures have been proposed after primary laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (pLSG) failure, including ReSleeve gastrectomy (ReLSG), and laparoscopic one anastomosis gastric bypass (LOAGB). Choosing the RBS post-pLSG failure represents a challenge. WLF without gastric tube (GT) dilation is undoubtedly converted to a malabsorptive procedure, but the presence of GT dilation makes it more difficult to select a RBS. This study aimed to compare two relatively simple revisional procedures after pLSG failure with dilated GT to help decision making on which procedure better done to which patient. METHODS Data of 52 patients who completed one year follow-up (FU) after their RBS (ReLSG: 27 or LOAGB: 25) for their failed pLSG were collected, assessed, correlated to weight loss (WL) and compared. RESULTS Mean operative time was 97 ± 18.4 min. with revisional LOAGB (RLOAGB) and 62 ± 11 min. with ReLSG. Six patients (11.5%) had seven postoperative procedure-specific complications. Significant hemorrhage occurred in three patients. Two cases of leakage were encountered with each procedure. LOAGB Patients had lower mean final weight (76.2 ± 10.5 vs 85.3 ± 13), lower mean Final BMI (26.4 ± 2.5 vs 29.7 ± 2.9) and higher mean percentage of excess weight loss (EWL%) (83.6 ± 13.5% vs 60.29 ± 14.6%). All RLOAGB patients and 77.8% of ReLSG patients had EWL% > 50%. RLOAGB patients had higher EWL% compared to ReLSG (p < 0.001). Insufficient WL (IWL) patients had higher EWL% compared to weight regain (WR) patients (p = 0.034). CONCLUSION Both procedures (RLOAGB and ReLSG) were relatively safe and effective in terms of WL. RLOAGB led to higher WL compared to ReLSG in all types of patients despite higher Caloric intake. IWL patients had more WL compared to WR patients. WL was not related to GT dilation type. Large-scale longer-FU studies are still needed. TRIAL REGISTRATION PACTR202310644487566 (retrospectively registered).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux symptom (GERS) occur frequently in obese patients. Although some surgeons avoid laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in these patients for fear of postoperative exacerbation of GERS, this notion is not supported by sufficient medical evidence. OBJECTIVES This prospective study aimed to evaluate the impact of LSG on GERS. SETTING Shanghai East Hospital, Shanghai, China. METHODS Seventy-five LSG candidates were enrolled between April 2020 and October 2021. Only patients with completed preoperative and 6-month postoperative evaluation of GERS with the Reflux Symptom Score (RSS) and the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life index were included. Each patient's characteristics, including sex, age, drinking and smoking history, body mass index (BMI) at the time of surgery, recent BMI, comorbidities, glucose and lipid metabolism-related laboratory results, and uric acid and sex hormone levels were obtained. RESULTS Sixty-five patients (33.8 ± 9.1 years) were finally included in our study. The mean preoperative BMI was 36.4 ± 6.8 kg/m2. Preoperative GERS were reported in 32 (49.2%) patients (RSS > 13), and 26 of them (81.3%) had dramatic remission at 6 months postoperatively. Four patients (12.1%) developed de novo GERS postoperatively, which were well-controlled with oral proton pump inhibitors. Furthermore, GERS were significantly correlated with preoperative BMI; the risk of developing new or worsening GERS postoperatively was positively associated with preoperative insulin resistance. CONCLUSIONS A low incidence of de novo GERS and significant alleviation in preoperative GERS occurred in most obese patients after LSG. A patient with preoperative insulin resistance may not be suitable for LSG surgery owing to the increased risk of new or worsening of GERS postoperatively.

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.

Meta-analysis of Long-term De Novo Acid Reflux-Related Outcomes Following Sleeve Gastrectomy: Evidence Against the Need for Routine Postoperative Endoscopic Surveillance. Curr Obes Rep 2023; 12:395-405.

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
For morbid obesity, one of the treatment options that have been deemed the most effective is bariatric surgery. Specifically, endoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (ESG) has emerged as one of the minimally invasive procedures for weight loss to be developed recently. In this procedure, there is the endoscopic placement of sutures in a quest to ensure reductions in the stomach volume. In this review, the main aim was to review the literature concerning ESG's efficacy and safety. Secondary sources of data were used and electronic databases were searched to identify articles focused on assessing the safety or efficacy of ESG. They included several databases such as Clinicaltrials.gov, Embase (Excerpta Medica Database), and MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, or MEDLARS Online) to select relevant articles. Both the titles and abstracts of the articles were used to determine their inclusion or exclusion from the current review. Additionally, some keywords were used to search and obtain relevant articles such as: ESG, obesity, bariatric surgery, and total body weight loss. This review relied on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework for the identification of articles, screening, determination of eligibility, and inclusion and exclusion as deemed appropriate. From the findings, the review established that ESG is effective when used as an alternative intervention for obesity. The beneficial effects are felt particularly in terms of the procedure's capacity to ensure that the total body weight loss mean percentage is significant. Apart from the benefit of ensuring weight loss, ESG was also found to impair gastric emptying, pose metabolic effects that are key to controlling obesity-associated metabolic dysregulation, and the ability to increase satiety. However, the procedure was documented to yield a few adverse events in some studies. Some of the notable adverse events include pulmonary embolism, potential pneumoperitoneum, and possible post-procedure leak in the posterior aspect of the gastric fundus as sutures exert tension and also cause thin walls. Emerging as a minimally-invasive procedure, ESG is a cost-effective alternative through which weight loss can be achieved significantly in obese populations. It leads to a slowdown of gastric emptying, causes an increase in satiety, and leads to an improvement in the metabolic profile. Therefore, for obese individuals not undergoing bariatric surgery, ESG can be an ideal treatment option, including individuals in need of a bridge to surgery and also those diagnosed with moderate obesity. Overall, when it comes to the management of obesity, this review established that ESG provides a paradigm shift targeting existing therapeutic gaps.

Abstract
Background
Bariatric weight-loss surgery rates are increasing internationally. Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a novel, minimally invasive endoscopic procedure thought to mimic some of the effects of a more common surgery, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Patient factors affecting procedural choice are unexplored.
Objective
This formative study aimed to determine the preoperative and early postoperative characteristics of adults matched for age, sex, and BMI who chose ESG versus LSG.
Methods
This prospective cohort study recruited ESG and matched LSG adults in Australia. Preoperative outcomes were medical history, glycemic biomarkers, blood lipids, liver function enzymes, albumin, blood pressure, hepatic steatosis index, the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale, the Impact of Weight on Quality of Life–Lite questionnaire, and body composition via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Adverse events were recorded preoperatively and up to 2 weeks postoperatively. SPSS was used to test if there were differences between cohorts by comparing means or mean ranks, and binary regression was used to understand how characteristics might predict procedure choice.
Results
A total of 50 (including 25 ESG and 25 LSG) patients were recruited, who were primarily White (45/50, 90%) and female (41/50, 82%) with a mean age of 41.7 (SD 9.4) years. Participants had a mean of 4.0 (SD 2.2) active comorbid conditions, with the most common being nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (38/50, 76%), back pain (32/50, 64%), anxiety or depression (24/50, 48%), and joint pain (23/50, 46%). The LSG cohort had higher hemoglobin A1c (5.3%, SD 0.2%) than the ESG cohort (5%, SD 0.2%; P=.008). There was a 2.4 kg/m2 difference in median BMI (P=.03) between the groups, but fat and fat-free mass had no meaningful differences. Comparing the LSG and ESG groups showed that the LSG group had lower total quality of life (49.5%, SD 10.6% vs 56.6%, SD 12.7%; P=.045), lower weight-related self-esteem (10.7%, IQR 3.6%-25% vs 25%, IQR 17.9%-39.3%; P=.02), and worse abdominal pain (38.9%, IQR 33.3%-50% vs 53.9%, SD 14.2%, P=.01). For every percent improvement in weight-related self-esteem, the odds for selecting ESG increased by 4.4% (95% CI 1.004-1.085; P=.03). For every percent worsening in hunger pain, the odds for selecting ESG decreased by 3.3% (95% CI 0.944-0.990; P=.004).
Conclusions
There was very little evidence that Australian adults who chose an endoscopic versus surgical sleeve had different rates of comorbidities, body fat percentage, or weight-related quality of life. There was evidence against the test hypothesis, that is, there was evidence suggesting that lower self-esteem predicted choosing a more invasive sleeve (ie, LSG rather than ESG)

Abstract
Objective This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in obese individuals and identify the related factors affecting its efficacy. Methods The clinical and follow-up data of 37 obese patients with OSAHS who underwent LSG in the Laparoscopic Surgery Department of Zibo Central Hospital from January 2017 to July 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The effect of this operation on patients' weight and OSAHS was studied, and the factors affecting weight and OSAHS were examined through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Over 12 months of regular postoperative follow-up with the 37 patients, their body mass index (BMI) decreased, and the percentage of excess weight loss (EWL%) reached 73.2%. Additionally, the rate of successful OSAHS treatment reached 91.89%, and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and lowest arterial oxygen saturation (LSaO2) increased significantly. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, weight, EWL%, and smoking affected the efficacy of LSG against OSAHS (P < 0.05). EWL% and smoking were independent factors that helped determine the efficacy of LSG against morbid obesity (P < 0.05). Conclusion LSG can effectively help obese patients lose weight and show medium-term efficacy against OSAHS in obese people. Smoking and EWL% were found to be the factors determining the efficacy of LSG.

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. These data are leading to wider acceptance of LSG as a bariatric procedure even in obese patients with GERD.

Abstract
Background The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and the incisionless endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) weight loss procedures require further investigation of their efficacy, safety and patient-centered outcomes in the Australian setting. Methods The aim was to examine the 6- and 12-month weight loss efficacy, safety, and weight-related quality of life (QoL) of adults with obesity who received the ESG or LSG bariatric procedure with 12+ months of adjuvant multidisciplinary pre- and postprocedural support. Data were from a two-arm prospective cohort study that followed patients from baseline to 12-months postprocedure from a medical center in Queensland. Percent excess weight loss (%EWL) was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were body composition (fat mass, fat-free mass, android:gynoid ratio, bone mineral content) via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, weight-related QoL, lipid, glycemic, and hepatic biochemistry, and adverse events. Results 16 ESG (19% attrition; 81.2% female; aged:41.4 (SD: 10.4) years; BMI: 35.5 (SD: 5.2) kg/m2) and 45 LSG (9% attrition; 84.4% female; aged:40.4 (SD: 9.0) years; BMI: 40.7 (SD: 5.6) kg/m2) participants were recruited. At 12-months postprocedure, ESG %EWL was 57% (SD: 32%; p < 0.01) and LSG %EWL was 79% (SD: 24%; p < 0.001). ESG and LSG cohorts improved QoL (19.8% in ESG [p > 0.05]; 48.1% in LSG [p < 0.05]), liver function (AST: − 4.4 U/L in ESG [p < 0.05]; − 2.7 U/L in LSG [p < 0.05]), HbA1c (− 0.5% in ESG [p < 0.05]; − 0.1% in LSG [p < 0.05]) and triglycerides (− 0.6 mmol/L in ESG [p > 0.05]; − 0.4 mmol/L in LSG [P < 0.05]) at 12-months. Both cohorts reduced fat mass (p < 0.05). The ESG maintained but LSG decreased fat-free mass at 6-months (p < 0.05); and both cohorts lost fat-free mass at 12-months (p < 0.05). There were no adverse events directly related to the procedure. The ESG reported 25% mild-moderate adverse events possibly related to the procedure, and the LSG reported 27% mild-severe adverse events possibly related to the procedure. Conclusions In this setting, the ESG and LSG were safe and effective weight loss treatments for obese adults alongside multidisciplinary support. Patients who elected the ESG maintained fat-free mass at 6-months but both cohorts lost fat-free mass at 12-months postprocedure. Patients who elected the LSG had large and significant improvements to weight-related quality of life. Further well-powered studies are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness results of sleeve gastrectomy as a bariatric technique. METHODS Observational follow-up study of a cohort of patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy in our center between 2008 and 2017. A total of 223 patients were included: 166 as a primary technique (group 1) and 57 as a hypothetical first stage (group 2). RESULTS In group 1, the postoperative morbidity is 12.6%, with a fistula rate of 4.2%; 5.4% required reoperation and mortality was 0.6%. In group 2, postoperative morbidity is 14%, with a fistula rate of 5.3%; 10.5% required reoperation and mortality was 5.3%. In group 1, 79.6% and 62.5% of patients at 2 and 5 years respectively managed to achieve a % EBMIL > 50%. In group 2, the second stage was completed only in 8 patients (14.0%). Of the patients who did not complete the second stage, 32.2% and 5.9% achieved a % EEBMIL > 100% at 2 and 5 years. Analyzing those who completed the second stage, the mean EEBMIL% was 90.5% and 93.4% at 2 and 5 years. CONCLUSIONS Sleeve gastrectomy is a safe technique in patients with BMI < 45 and effective in terms of weight loss in the short-medium term. In patients with BMI > 55, a preoperative optimization aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality is necessary, as well as adequately planning the second stage, without which it is clearly insufficient.

Ten-Year Outcomes of Children and Adolescents Who Underwent Sleeve Gastrectomy: Weight Loss, Comorbidity Resolution, Adverse Events, and Growth Velocity. J Am Coll Surg 2021; 233:657-664. [PMID: 34563670 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamcollsurg.2021.08.678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2021] [Revised: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, there are insufficient data on long-term outcomes of weight loss surgery in children and adolescents with obesity beyond 5 years of follow-up. This study aimed to analyze durability of weight loss and comorbidity resolution, growth velocity, and adverse events associated with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in children and adolescents with severe obesity. STUDY DESIGN In this prospective cohort study, 2,504 children and adolescents with class II/III obesity who were enrolled in a multidisciplinary, family-based pediatric obesity management program underwent LSG between 2008 and 2021. Weight loss, growth, comorbidity resolution, and adverse event data during the first 10 years after LSG were analyzed. RESULTS The cohort age was 5 to 21 years at the time of operation, and 55% were female. Mean ± SD percentage of excess weight lost during short- (1 to 3 years; n = 2,051), medium- (4 to 6 years; n = 1,268), and long-term (7 to 10 years; n = 632) follow-up was 82.3% ± 20.5%, 76.3% ± 29.1%, and 71.1% ± 26.9%, respectively. Complete comorbidity remission at long-term follow-up was observed in 74%, 59%, and 64% of type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension cases, respectively. Mean ± SD height z-score change at short-, medium-, and long-term follow-up was 0.1 ± 0.5, 0.1 ± 1.2, and 0.0 ± 0.8, respectively, representing no significant change in growth velocity. There were 27 adverse events (1%) with no procedure-related mortality. CONCLUSIONS Long-term follow-up after LSG in children and adolescents demonstrates durable weight loss, maintained comorbidity resolution, and unaltered growth.

Abstract
CONTEXT Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a recognized effective procedure of bariatric surgery, but a poor response in weight loss may still represent a clinical problem. To date there are no validated predictors useful to better perform patient selection. OBJECTIVE To establish the association of baseline anthropometric, metabolic, and psychologic features with the percent total weight loss (%TWL) and percent excess weight loss (%EWL) 12 months after surgery. DESIGN Retrospective longitudinal analysis of a set of data about obese patients attending the outpatient service of a single obesity center from June 2016 to June 2019. PATIENTS A total of 106 obese patients underwent LSG with presurgery evaluation and follow-up at 12 months after surgery. MAIN OUTCOME Weight loss 12 months after LSG. RESULTS Patients who achieved a %TWL higher than the observed median (≥34%) were younger, with a lower fasting plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin, with a lower prevalence of hypertension and with a lower score in the impulsiveness scale, compared with patients with a %TWL < 34%. Similar findings were found when %EWL was considered. Multivariable stepwise regression analysis showed that younger age, lower impulsiveness, higher-than-normal urinary free cortisol, and lower HbA1c were associated with higher %TWL, explaining about 31.5% of the weight loss. CONCLUSION Metabolic and psychologic features at baseline were independently associated with weight loss and explained a non-negligible effect on the response to LSG. These data suggest that careful metabolic and psychologic profiling could help in sharper indications and personalized pre- and postsurgical follow-up protocols in candidates for LSG.

Cruroplasty added to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy; does it decrease postoperative incidence of de-novo acid reflux?: A randomised controlled trial. Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2021; 66:102415. [PMID: 34113443 PMCID: PMC8170119 DOI: 10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2021] [Revised: 05/15/2021] [Accepted: 05/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(LSG) is the most popular bariatric surgery worldwide. Postoperative de-novo acid reflux is one of the major common complications of the procedure. Different additive anti-reflux surgical techniques have been tried to decrease the complication although no favorable outcome is obtained. This study was conducted to evaluate effects of concurrent cruroplasty during LSG on postoperative de-novo acid reflux incidence rate. METHODS In current participant-blinded randomised controlled trial total of 80 subjects who were candidate for LSG were enrolled from the September 2018 to the December 2019. Following matching patients by gender and age, simple randomization method was held to allocate participants to LSG alone and LSG + cruroplasty groups with equal 40 members in each. Demographic data, length of hospital stay, and operation time was registered. Presence of acid reflux was looked by using gastroesophageal reflux disease-health related quality of life(GERD-HRQL) questionnaire prior and 6 months after surgery in follow-up visit. RESULTS Finally 12/28 and 14/26 male/females with 38.5 ± 10.7 and 39.7 ± 8.2 years of age were recruited in LSG alone and LSG + cruroplasty, respectively.(p > 0.05) The length of operative time was significantly shorter in LSG alone(p < 0.01) although no obvious difference was existed in length of hospital stay between groups.(p = 0.7) Postoperative de-novo acid reflux also was not considerably lesser after cruroplasty compared with controls.(p = 0.1) The GERD-HRQL scores were not remarkable between subjects of study groups.(p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Equipping LSG with concurrent cruroplasty to diminish postoperative de-novo gastroesophageal acid reflux is not effective and not recommended in absence of other indications.

What Is Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery Expressed in Percentage Total Weight Loss (%TWL)? A Systematic Review. Obes Surg 2021; 31:3833-3847. [PMID: 34002289 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-021-05394-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2020] [Revised: 03/21/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Percentage total weight loss (%TWL) might be better than percentage excess weight loss to express weight loss in bariatric surgery. In this systematic review, performed according to the PRISMA statement, results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) are assessed in %TWL. A total of 13,426 studies were screened and 49 included, reporting data of 24,760 patients. The results show that, despite limiting data, LRYGB is favorable over LSG in terms of weight loss in short-term follow-up. Although recent guidelines recommend to use %TWL when reporting outcome in bariatric surgery, this study shows that there is still insufficient quality data in %TWL, especially on LSG. The use of %TWL as the primary outcome measure in bariatric surgery should be encouraged.

Long-Term Efficacy of Bariatric Surgery for the Treatment of Super-Obesity: Comparison of SG, RYGB, and OAGB. Obes Surg 2021; 31:3391-3399.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The most appropriate procedure for the treatment of super obesity (BMI > 50 kg/m2) is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the safety, long-term (> 5 years) weight loss, and adverse events between three commonly performed procedures, sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) in super-obese patients. METHODS Between January 2002 and December 2015, 498 successive patients with super morbid obesity (BMI > 50), who underwent SG or RYGB or OAGB, were recruited. Surgical outcome, weight loss, resolution of co-morbidities, and late complications were followed and compared between the 3 groups. All data derived from a prospective bariatric database and a retrospective analysis was conducted. RESULTS The average patient age was 32.1 ± 10.4 years, with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 56.0 ± 6.7 kg/m2. Of them, 190 (38.9%) underwent SG, 62 (12.4%) RYGB, and 246 (49.4%) OAGB. There was no difference in basic characters between the 3 groups except SG had fewer diabetic patients. RYGB group had higher intraoperative blood loss, longer operating time, and hospital stay than the other 2 groups. RYGB had a higher 30-days post-operative major complication rate (4.8%) than SG (0.5%) and OAGB (0.8%). The follow-up rate at 1 and 5 years was 89.4% and 52.0%. At post-operative 5 years, OAGB had a higher total weight loss (40.8%) than SG (35.1%), but not RYGB (37.2%). SG had a lower remission rate in dyslipidemia comparing to OAGB and RYGB, but T2DM remission rate was no different between the groups. The overall revision rate is 5.4% (27/498) of the whole group, and SG had a lower revision rate (2.6%) than RYGB (8.1%) and OAGB (6.9%). CONCLUSION SG is an effective and durable primary bariatric procedure for the treatment of super obesity and metabolic disorders. OAGB had a similar operation risk to SG but resulted in a better weight loss than SG.

Ramadan Fasting Increases Socialization in Patients Who Underwent Sleeve Gastrectomy: An Observational Study. Obes Surg 2021; 31:2576-2582. [PMID: 33555450 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-021-05270-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2020] [Revised: 01/28/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The prevalence of obesity is increasing along with the number of sleeve gastrectomies. Patients' mental health and social life, along with their physical health, should be considered. Their cultural and religious values are an important part of treatment. Fasting is an important act of worship in all religions. Ramadan fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of Ramadan fasting on quality of life in patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data regarding the demographic characteristics, weight, the time elapsed after surgery, and the amount of liquid and solid food consumed during fasting were collected with two surveys, one of which was carried out at the beginning and the other at the end of Ramadan. In addition, the SF-36 health survey questionnaire was administered to evaluate the impact of Ramadan fasting on patients' quality of life. RESULTS Fifty-one people participated in the first survey, but the second survey included 19 of them. While the median weight of the patients was 86.52 ± 17.78 kg before fasting, the median weight after 25 days of fasting was 83.31 ± 17.06 kg. A significant decrease was observed in weight after 25 days of fasting (p < 0.001). A comparison of the SF-36 scores for quality of life revealed a significant increase in the social functioning (p = 0.032). CONCLUSION Ramadan fasting caused significant weight loss in patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy. Besides, it did not adversely affect the quality of life, but rather increased social functioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of obesity has been constantly growing and bariatric procedures are considered to be the most effective treatment solution for morbidly obese patients. The results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) may differ depending on patient's age, gender, preoperative body mass index (BMI) and physical activity. METHODS The aim of this study was to evaluate age-related differences in the outcome of LSG in terms of weight loss parameters, lipid and carbohydrate profile. The retrospective analysis of 555 patients who had undergone LSG was performed to compare the metabolic outcomes of surgery in individuals < 45 and ≥ 45 years old. Evaluation of weight loss parameters along with selected laboratory data was performed to demonstrate the results of LSG in 2 years follow-up. RESULTS Overall, 238 males and 317 females (43%/57%) with median age of 43 years and median preoperative BMI of 46.41 (42.06-51.02) kg/m2 were analyzed. Patients in both groups presented significant weight loss at 24 months after the surgery with comparable percentage of total weight loss (40.95% in < 45 years old group and 40.44% in ≥ 45 years old group). The percentage of excess weight loss (78.52% vs. 74.53%) and percentage of excess BMI loss (91.95% vs. 88.01%) were higher in patients < 45 years old. However, the differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.662, p = 0.788 respectively). Patients under 45 years old experienced faster decrease in fasting glucose level that was observed after only 3 months (109 mg/dl to 95 mg/dl in < 45 years old group vs. 103.5 mg/dl to 99.5 mg/dl in ≥ 45 years old group, p < 0.001). Both groups presented improvement of lipid parameters during the observation. However, patients < 45 years old achieved lower values of LDL at 3 and 12 months follow-up (115 mg/dl vs. 126 mg/dl, p = 0.010; 114.8 mg/dl vs. 122 mg/dl, p = 0.002). Younger group of patients also showed superior improvement of triglycerides level. CONCLUSIONS LSG results in significant weight loss in all patients regardless age. In turn, superior and faster improvement in lipid and carbohydrate profile is achieved in patients under 45 years old.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on the polysomnographic parameters related to OSAS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted this 3-year prospective cohort study in a tertiary care center between December 2016 and December 2019. In total, we enrolled 31 patients with severe obesity who underwent full-night polysomnography (PSG) before LSG. Later, the patients were re-evaluated by full-night PSG 12 months after the surgery. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 44.1 ± 9.6 years. The mean body mass index (BMI) decreased significantly from a mean value of 49.8 ± 8.5 kg/m2 at baseline to 33.2 ± 8.2 kg/m2 and a percent BMI (%BMI) reduction of 33.8 ± 10.4% and a percent total weight loss (%TWL) of 35.4 ± 10.8% was achieved on the same day of the postsurgical PSG (p < 0.001). There was a remarkable improvement in the AHI (baseline: 36.1 ± 27.1, 12 months after the surgery: 10.3 ± 11.8; difference: 25.8 ± 22.8 events per hour) (p < 0.001). Importantly, there was a decrease in the percentage of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) 2 (p < 0.001), whereas NREM 3 and REM stages witnessed a significant increase (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively) after the surgery. CONCLUSION The results of this study showed that weight loss after LSG yields improvement not only in AHI but also in many polysomnographic parameters such as sleep quality and desaturation indices.

Abstract
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most performed surgical procedures in bariatric surgery. Staple line leak and bleeding are by far the two most feared complications after LSG. In this study, we retrospectively compared the efficacy of Fibrin Glue in preventing staple line leak and bleeding. From September 2019 to January 2020, 450 obese patients underwent elective LSG and were placed into groups with Fibrin Glue reinforcement (Group A) or without Fibrin Glue reinforcement (Group B). Primary endpoints were postoperative staple line leak and bleeding; while, secondary endpoints were reintervention rate, total operative time and mortality. Mean Body Mass Index (BMI) was 45.4 ± 7.9 kg/m2 (range: 35.1-81.8). Mean age was 43.3 ± 11.8 years (range: 18-65). No intraoperative complications or conversion to laparotomy were reported. Mean operative time was comparable between the groups (48 ± 18 min in Group A vs 48 ± 14 min in Group B; p > 0.05). No decrease in overall postoperative complications was found in Group A (5.1% vs 7.0%; p > 0.05), but after stratification according to Clavien-Dindo classification, we found a higher rate of Grade II (0.0% vs 1.6%; p < 0.05) and Grade IIIb (0.0% vs 1%; p < 0.05) complications in group B. Our study showed that Fibrin Glue as a reinforcement method during LSG is a reliable tool, without affecting the operative time of surgery and mortality. A significant reduction in complications (Clavien-Dindo grade II and grade IIIb) was observed in patients undergoing LSG with Fibrin Glue.

Abstract
Aim: Several studies demonstrated increased alcohol intake after gastric bypass but not for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an increased risk of developing alcohol use disorder after LSG. Materials and Methods: LSG patients with at least 1-year follow-up who completed the alcohol use disorder identification test (AUDIT) preoperatively, and at their control visit, were the subjects. AUDIT was applied to the patients who were followed up from 1 to 6 years postoperatively. Patients were divided into two groups as those who were followed for 1-3 years and 4-6 years. AUDIT scores and risk categories were compared. According to the AUDIT results, score intervals between 0-7, 8-15, 16-19 and 20-40 identified patients with low, moderate, high risk, and alcoholism, respectively. Results: There were 183 LSG patients eligible for inclusion. An AUDIT score of 2.79 before LSG showed prominent reduction in alcohol use in the first 3 years after LSG with a score of 2.27 (P = .033). At 4-6 years follow-up, AUDIT scores showed significant increase from 3.06 to 4.04, suggesting an increase in alcohol use in the long term (P = .042). In addition, the increase of risk after surgery in pre-LSG moderate-risk category (n = 21) turned out to be higher than pre-LSG low-risk category (n = 162). Conclusions: This study showed reduction in AUDIT scores in the first 3-year follow-up after LSG and increase in the 4-6 years follow-up. High pre-LSG AUDIT score, a potential risk for future alcohol use disorder, was one of the key findings of our study. Screening of LSG candidates before and after surgery by AUDIT scoring according to risk categories with larger samples will provide useful input for relevant guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the established efficacy and safety of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), controversy still exists on optimal operative technique, the resection distance from pylorus (DP) being among the most controversial issues. This study aimed to examine the effect of resection distance from pylorus on % excess weight loss (EWL) during postoperative period, in patients who underwent LSG for morbid obesity. METHODS A total of 390 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity were included in this retrospective study. Patients were allocated into one of the two groups based on the distance between antrum resection margin and pylorus: group A, ≤ 3 cm and group B, > 3 cm. Follow-up data for %EWS and nausea/vomiting as well as demographical and perioperative data were retrospectively reviewed and logistic regression analysis was done. RESULTS Follow-up data up to 12 months were available for all patients, whereas 199 patients had follow-up data at 24 months. Shorter distance from pylorus was associated with higher %EWL throughout the treatment period (p < 0.001), evident from the first postoperative month (p = 0.013 for the first month, p < 0.001 for all other time points). The benefit extended up to 24 months in ≤ 3 cm group. However, nausea/vomiting was more frequent in the ≤ 3 cm group only at 1-month visit (15% vs. 4%, p < 0.001). In multivariate evaluations, while %EWL variable was taken as a dependent variable, time variable with DP × time interaction was statistically significant in the model. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that a short distance between resection margin and pylorus is associated with better and sustained %EWL in LSG. However, these patients seem to be more prone to nausea and vomiting in the early postoperative period. Further prospective large studies would help to define an optimal resection distance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI) and the one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) are 2 revisional procedures to address the problem of weight recidivism after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and safety of SADI and OAGB as revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) in initially super-obese patients (body mass index [BMI] >50 kg/m2). SETTING Academic hospital, bariatric center of excellence, Germany. METHODS Observational study of outcomes in 84 initially super-obese patients who had undergone RBS after LSG (SADI n = 42, OAGB n = 42) between July 2013 and April 2018. Follow-up examinations were performed at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after RBS. The variables analyzed included time between LSG and RBS, BMI, excess weight loss, total weight loss, operation time, and complications. RESULTS The time interval between LSG and RBS was 45.5 ± 22.8 and 43.5 ± 24.2 months for SADI and OAGB, respectively. At the time of RBS, the mean BMI was 42.8 ± 7.9 kg/m2 for SADI and 43.4 ± 9.2 kg/m2 for OAGB. The follow-up examinations rates (%) after SADI were 97.6, 92.8, 90.5, 78.6, 57.1, and 100, 97.6, 95.2, 85.7, and 59.5 after OAGB. The BMI at the follow-up examinations were 39.1 ± 7.2, 34.2 ± 6.9, 31.2 ± 5.8, 30.2 ± 5.3, 29.3 ± 5.1 for SADI, and 39.5 ± 8.1, 36.6 ± 7.4, 34.7 ± 7.9, 32.9 ± 6.3, and 31.6 ± 5.9 for OAGB. The mean operating times for SADI and OAGB were 138 ± 40 and 123 ± 39 minutes, respectively. Three patients in the SADI group and 1 patient in the OAGB group developed a major complication within the first 30 postoperative days. CONCLUSION SADI and OAGB were effective second-step procedures for further weight reduction after LSG in initially super-obese patients after short to medium follow-up. There was a trend toward higher weight loss for SADI though this did not reach statistical significance. Substantial differences concerning surgery time and complications between the 2 procedures were not observed.

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 Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including erosive esophagitis, is highly prevalent in the obese population. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most frequently performed bariatric procedures. The relationship between LSG and GERD has gained increasing attention. This retrospective study aimed to assess the effectiveness of combined LSG and modified Rossetti antireflux fundoplication for the treatment of GERD on morbidly obese patients after bariatric surgery. OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness, on morbid obese patients, of combined SG and Rossetti fundoplication for the treatment of GERD in obese patients. SETTING Public Hospital, Italy. METHODS From January 2015 to May 2018, 220 obese patients (167 female; 53 male) underwent LSG and modified Rossetti antireflux fundoplication procedure, performed by 4 different expert bariatric surgeons. Data have been collected in an Excel file and processed by XLStat to perform statistical analyses. We analyzed short-term complications and medium-term results with 24-month follow-up in terms of weight loss, remission of co-morbidities, and resolution of GERD. RESULTS Mean BMI was 42.58 ± 5.93 kg/m2 (range, 31.70-63.16). Patients suffering from GERD before surgery were 137 of 220 (62.3%). No intraoperative complications or conversion were reported. Regular postoperative course was recorded in 90% of patients (198 of 220 patients). Gastric perforation has always occurred on the fundoplicated portion of the stomach. This perforation, which is different from the well-known post-LSG gastric fistula, may be because of incorrect gastric fundus manipulation. Rate of reoperation was 14 of 220 (6.4%). A good sense of repletion without episodes of vomiting, nausea, or dysphagia was reported in 95% of the analyzed patients. Of patients, 98.5% did not suffer from reflux symptoms and did not take proton pump inhibitors. A decrease in BMI and percent of total weight loss at follow-up were comparable with LSG. Endoscopic follow-up is still ongoing. Improvement in esophagitis was observed in 63 of 65 (96.92%) patients and all 4 patients shows improvement in Barrett's esophagus. CONCLUSIONS LSG and modified Rossetti antireflux fundoplication procedure is a tolerated and feasible procedure in obese patients, with good postoperative weight loss results and improvement in GERD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a better revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is still under debate. The aim is to compare short-term outcomes of RYGB and OAGB as a RBS after SG, pertaining to their effects on weight loss, resolution of comorbidities, and complications. METHODS We performed a single-center analysis of 55 patients (n = 34 OAGB, n = 21 RYGB). Indications for revisional surgery included weight regain/loss failure (67%) and intractable gastroesophageal reflux disease (33%). Data were collected up to 1-year follow-up (FU) and included time of revisional surgery, operation time, weight, body mass index, excess weight loss, and total weight loss (TWL), both in percent, complications and resolution of comorbidities. RESULTS Operation time was 79 ± 36 (OAGB-MGB) and 98 ± 24 min (RYGB) (p = 0.03). In the first 30 postoperative days, three patients in the RYGB group, and no patient in the OAGB group, had postoperative complications. FU was 100%. Minor complication rates at 12 months were 33.3% (RYGB) and 35.3% (OAGB). At 12 months, mean % TWL was 10.3 ± 7.6% (RYGB) and 15.8 ± 7.8% (OAGB) (p = 0.0132). CONCLUSIONS OAGB after failed SG was found to be a quicker procedure with less perioperative complications. At 1-year FU, no significant differences were seen between RYGB and OAGB regarding readmission and minor complications. Still long-term FU including the risk of malnutrition is needed to have a complete evaluation of OAGB as a RBS for the future.

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) represents, at present, the most performed bariatric procedure worldwide with excellent long-term results on weight loss and comorbidities control. After the gastrectomy procedure, together with hormonal modification, several changes in taste and habits occur, including the potential modification in alcohol consumption. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the frequency and the amount of alcohol use before and after SG using a modified version of the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) at 1-year follow-up and eventually to evaluate relationships between different ages and sexes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 142 patients were prospectively enrolled and evaluated before and 1 year after SG with a modified AUDIT. The exclusion criteria were as follows: history of alcohol abuse, presence of psychopathology or cognitive impairments, diabetes mellitus type II decompensated, or previous gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatic resective surgery. Subgroup analyses were performed between male and female and between under and over 40 years old. RESULTS The median AUDIT score decreased from 2.70 (range 1-18) before surgery to 1.38 (range 1-7) after 1 year of SG, indicating a marked reduction in alcohol use. The most consumed alcoholic drink was beer (36.6%/n = 52) while after surgery the consumption of beer decreased considerably (21.1%/n = 30). The frequency of alcohol consumption also decreased: at baseline 45% of patients consumed alcoholic drinks "from 2 to 4 times per month", whereas 26 and 39.4% consumed alcohol "never" and "less than once a month," respectively. After surgery, nobody consumed more then six alcoholic drinks. No differences were found between the subgroups in terms of alcohol consumption and social behavior. CONCLUSIONS The alcohol preference is modified and decreased 1 year after SG and this could be related to the strict nutritional follow-up and to the hormonal changes. Studies with large samples and long-term follow-up are needed to confirm our data. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Loss and Regain of Weight After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy According to Preoperative BMI : Late Results of a Prospective Study (78-138 months) with 93% of Follow-Up. Obes Surg 2019; 28:3424-3430.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The long-term results in sleeve gastrectomy (SG) have been reported in few publications. None of them has evaluated the importance of preoperative BMI (kg/m2) in the final results. OBJECTIVE To determine the loss and regain of weight after SG, determining the influence of preoperative BMI in final results. MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective study included all patients operated between 2006 and 2010. Exclusion criteria corresponded to patients with Barrett's esophagus, type 2 diabetes, and hiatal hernia greater than 3 cm. Patients were followed and controlled "face to face" by the main author. RESULTS From 109 original patients included in this study, 102 (93.5%) completed the late follow-up. Patients were divided into four groups: (a) I-29 patients with BMI 32.1-34.9; (b) II-56 patients with BMI 35-39.9; (c) III-20 patients with BMI 40-49.9; and (d) IV-4 patients with BMI > 50. There was a significant decrease in the BMI 12 to 24 months after surgery. At the late control, patients in groups III and IV regained weight in 85 and 100%, respectively. Patients in groups I and II had 3.6 and 38% of weight regain. CONCLUSION The changes in weight after SG are directly related to preoperative BMI: the higher this value, the higher the percentage of failure and weight regain late after surgery. Besides, laparoscopic SG seems to be an adequate operation at late control in terms of loose of weight after surgery in patients with a BMI less than 40 kg/m2 before surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obese patients with preoperative gout often suffer of gouty attacks after bariatric surgery (BS), probably due to the lack of an adequate postoperative diet. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the study are to assess whether sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is effective in reducing the frequency of gouty attacks and also whether a postoperative low-purine diet (LPD) may further reduce these attacks as compared to a normal-purine diet (NPD) in a series of patients suffering of gout before SG. METHODS In this retrospective study, we measured and compared total body weight (TBW), body mass index (BMI), uric acid levels (UAL), anti-gout medication (allopurinol) requirements, and frequency in gouty attacks in 40 patients that underwent SG and who received either a LPD (n = 24) or NPD (n = 16). Compliance in following the prescribed diet was assessed in both groups study. RESULTS Before surgery, LPD and NPD patients had hyperuricemia and were receiving allopurinol. One year after SG, LPD and NPD groups showed a significant decrease in serum UAL (p < 0.001 and p = 0.00175, respectively). However, serum UAL decreased more significantly with the LPD compared to the NPD (p < 0.001). Furthermore, while NPD group showed a significant decrease in allopurinol requirements (p = 0.00130) and on the frequency in gouty attacks (p < 0.001), LPD group were off allopurinol therapy and had no gouty attacks 12 months after SG. Both groups showed high compliance in following the prescribed diets. CONCLUSION LPD is more effective in reducing the frequency of gouty attacks after SG compared with NPD in patients suffering of gout before surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the USA, three types of bariatric surgeries are widely performed, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). However, few economic evaluations of bariatric surgery are published. There is also scarcity of studies focusing on the LSG alone. Therefore, this study is evaluating the cost-effectiveness of bariatric surgery using LRYGB, LAGB, and LSG as treatment for morbid obesity. METHODS A microsimulation model was developed over a lifetime horizon to simulate weight change, health consequences, and costs of bariatric surgery for morbid obesity. US health care prospective was used. A model was propagated based on a report from the first report of the American College of Surgeons. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) in terms of cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained were used in the model. Model parameters were estimated from publicly available databases and published literature. RESULTS LRYGB was cost-effective with higher QALYs (17.07) and cost ($138,632) than LSG (16.56 QALYs; $138,925), LAGB (16.10 QALYs; $135,923), and no surgery (15.17 QALYs; $128,284). Sensitivity analysis showed initial cost of surgery and weight regain assumption were very sensitive to the variation in overall model parameters. Across patient groups, LRYGB remained the optimal bariatric technique, except that with morbid obesity 1 (BMI 35-39.9 kg/m2) patients, LSG was the optimal choice. CONCLUSION LRYGB is the optimal bariatric technique, being the most cost-effective compared to LSG, LAGB, and no surgery options for most subgroups. However, LSG was the most cost-effective choice when initial BMI ranged between 35 and 39.9 kg/m2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) achieves excellent weight loss, yet recent reports indicate weight regain in a substantial number of patients. OBJECTIVES Inserting a nonadjustable gastric band may improve weight loss after SG. SETTING University Hospital, Germany. METHODS In a retrospective matched-pair analysis 51 patients who underwent banded SG (BSG) using a silicone ring between November 2010 and May 2017 were compared with patients who underwent conventional SG regarding weight loss, complications, and co-morbidity. Median follow-up was 5 years. RESULTS Total weight loss was equal in the early follow-up (P = .118 and P = .111) but significantly better in BSG 3 and 5 years after surgery (BSG versus SG at 3 yr 38.7% ± 7.8, n = 33 versus 31.9 ± 10.7, n = 33, P = .002; BSG versus SG at 5 yr 37.6% ± 8.5, n = 27 versus 29.5 ± 12.9, n = 23, P = .008). Ring placement had no significant impact on clinical reflux signs (Fisher's exact test P > .999), yet 37 % of BSG patients reported ≥1 regurgitation per week (Fisher's exact test P = .013, odds ratio 12.4). CONCLUSION BSG leads to better weight loss than nonbanded SG 5 years after surgery. This comes at the expense of a higher rate of regurgitation. At a time in which weight loss limitations of a stand-alone SG are becoming a clinical problem, banding the sleeve may be a strategy to improve weight loss with this procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been established as an effective means of weight loss. Multiple studies report LSG as a cost-effective procedure with few perioperative complications. OBJECTIVES Report long-term weight changes after LSG in a single center in Kuwait. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of data collected 5-8 years after surgery. SETTING A single medical center. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients that had undergone LSG between December 2008 and December 2011. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Weight changes, short-term complications following surgery (within one month). SAMPLE SIZE 187. RESULTS The mean age at the time of the surgery was 36.5 (10.3) years. Females composed 71.6% of this study population.Two patients (1.1%) presented with a leak within 30 days of the surgery. Twenty-one (11.2%) patients underwent revisional bariatric surgery after LSG. Mean (SD) BMI decreased from 47.1 (8.3) kg/m2 before surgery to 34.3 (7) kg/m2 5-8 years after surgery. Mean (SD) body weight decreased from 126.3 (25.3) kg to 91.6 (19.9) kg 5-8 years following LSG. The mean excess body weight loss was 58.8% (29.2%). CONCLUSION LSG is a bariatric procedure with low complications and mortality in relation to other forms of bariatric surgery. It is associated with a significant improvement in weight loss in the long term. LIMITATIONS Recall bias due to the nature of collecting the data, small sample size. CONFLICT OF INTEREST None.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disease among the bariatric population. However, there are limited data regarding the impact of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on these patients. The study was conducted at University Hospital, United States. The purpose of this study was to examine per cent excess body weight loss (%EWL) and diabetes control in patients who have PCOS compared with those without PCOS. A total of 550 female patients underwent SG between December 2011 and October 2016. Retrospective analysis was completed to include follow-up data at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months and yearly after that. Outcomes measured were %EWL and hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c). The mean and median follow-up for the entire cohort was 21 and 15 months, respectively. Seventy-eight per cent of patients completed at least 12 months of follow-up for %EWL, although only 21 per cent had similar follow-up for HgbA1c. PCOS patients had similar age (36.3 vs 36.2 years, P = 0.90), preoperative BMI (47.2 vs 47.2, P = 0.99), preoperative HgbA1c (6% vs 5.8%, P = 0.31), conversion rate to gastric bypass, and other associated comorbidities compared with non-PCOS comparisons. There was no difference in %EWL at 12-month (49.7% vs 53.1%, P = 0.53) or 24-month (43% vs 49.8%, P = 0.46) postoperative intervals. There was no difference in absolute change of HgbA1c at 12 months (-0.47% vs -0.67%, P = 0.39). SG has equivalent short-term results in %EWL and reduction in HgbA1c for patients who have PCOS and those who do not.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for achieving durable weight loss and improvement of comorbidities in patients with obesity. Limited data exist on the impact of Medicare status in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. We hypothesized that there is no difference in outcomes between Medicare beneficiaries and non-Medicare patients at the 10-year follow-up. METHODS All patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with 10-year follow-up at a single medical center from 1985 to 2005 were stratified by Medicare insurance status. Outcomes included 10-year percent reduction in excess body mass index and comorbidity resolution. RESULTS Of 617 patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with 10-year follow-up, 117 (19%) were insured under Medicare. Medicare patients were older (43 vs 40 years, P = .01) and had a greater preoperative body mass index (53.2 vs 51.0 kg/m2, P = .03) than non-Medicare patients, but there were no differences in preoperative median comorbidity index scores (3 [interquartile range 1-4] vs 2 [interquartile range 1-5], P = .33). At 10 years, weight loss (58.3% vs 57.0 percent reduction in excess body mass index, P = .16) and the decrease in median comorbidity index (1 [interquartile range 0-3] vs 1 [interquartile range 0-3], P = .85) were equivalent between groups. CONCLUSIONS Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is equally beneficial in Medicare Disability and non-Medicare patients at 10 years. These findings support the continued and expanded coverage of bariatric surgery operations by Medicare.

Abstract
Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term (5-year follow-up) results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in terms of weight loss and obesity-related comorbidities, as well as the risk factors associated with postoperative nutritional deficiencies. Material and Methods: The first 99 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for the treatment of morbid obesity between October 2008 and August 2011 at Tartu University Hospital were followed prospectively in cohort study. The outpatient hospital follow-up visits were conducted at 3 months, 1 year, and 5 years postoperatively. At 5 years, the follow-up rate was 90.9%; 86 laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy patients were included in final analysis. Results: The mean excess weight loss (%EWL) was 44.3% ± 13.0%, 75.8% ± 23.1%, and 61.0% ± 24.3% at 3 months, 1 year, and 5 years, respectively. A linear association between preoperative weight and weight at 5 years was found. Remission rates at 5-year follow-up for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea were 68.8%, 32.7%, 27.4%, and 61.5%, respectively (all p < 0.05). There was a statistical difference (p < 0.05) in the dynamics of triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein level at 5-year follow-up but the level of total cholesterol did not show significant improvement. The risk for cumulative iron, vitamin B12 deficiency, and anemia was 20%, 48%, and 28%, respectively. Conclusion: In conclusion, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy ensured long-term excess weight loss 61.0% at 5 years. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has a long-term effect on significant improvement in the median values of triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins, and high-density lipoproteins, but not on total cholesterol levels. There is a risk of postoperative vitamin B12 and iron deficiency.

Abstract
Obesity is a chronic and debilitating disease that has become a global epidemic. Especially severe in the Unites States, obesity currently affects almost 40% of the population. Obesity has a strong causal relationship with numerous serious comorbidities that impair quality of life, shorten life expectancy, and carry a major economic burden. Obesity has particular relevance to cardiologists because it contributes directly to several major cardiovascular diseases and, consequently, increases overall cardiovascular mortality. Multiple treatment options are available, but metabolic and bariatric surgery offers the most effective and durable treatment for obesity. Moreover, metabolic and bariatric operations alleviate and often completely eliminate numerous comorbidities, particularly type 2 diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. With their low risk of complications and morbidity, metabolic and bariatric operations significantly improve quality of life and overall survival, particularly reducing death due to cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Introduction Sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most popular bariatric procedures. We present our long-term results regarding weight loss, comorbidities, and gastric reflux disease. Material and Methods We identified patients who underwent LSG in our institution between 2006 and 2009. We revised the data, and the patients with outdated contact details were tracked with the national health insurance database and social media (facebook). Each of the identified patients was asked to complete an online or telephone survey covering, among others, their weight and comorbidities. On that basis, we calculated the percent total weight loss (%TWL) and percent excess weight loss (%EWL), along with changes in body mass index (ΔBMI). Satisfactory weight loss was set at >50% EWL (for BMI = 25 kg/m2). We evaluated type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and arterial hypertension (AHT) based on the pharmacological therapy. GERD presence was evaluated by the typical symptoms and/or proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. Results One hundred twenty-seven patients underwent LSG between 2006 and 2009. One hundred twenty patients were qualified for this study. Follow-up data was available for 100 participants (47 female, 53 male). Median follow-up period reached 8.0 years (from 7.1 to 10.7). Median BMI upon qualification for LSG was 51.6 kg/m2. Sixteen percent of patients required revisional surgery over the years (RS group), mainly because of insufficient weight loss (14 Roux-Y gastric bypass—LRYGB; one mini gastric bypass, one gastric banding). For the LSG (LSG group n = 84), the mean %EWL was 51.1% (±22.3), median %TWL was 23.5% (IQR 17.7–33.3%), and median ΔBMI was 12.1 kg/m2 (IQR 8.2–17.2). Fifty percent (n = 42) of patients achieved the satisfactory %EWL of 50%. For RS group, the mean %EWL was 57.8% (±18.2%) and median %TWL reached 33% (IQR 27.7–37.9%). Sixty-two percent (n = 10) achieved the satisfactory weight loss. Fifty-nine percent of patients reported improvement in AHT therapy, 58% in T2DM. After LSG, 60% (n = 60) of patients reported recurring GERD symptoms and 44% were treated with proton pomp inhibitors (PPI). In 93% of these cases, GERD has developed de novo. Conclusions Isolated LSG provides fairly good effects in a long-term follow-up with mean %EWL at 51.1%. Sixteen percent of patients require additional surgery due to insufficient weight loss. More than half of the subjects observe improvement in AHT and T2DM. Over half of the patients complain of GERD symptoms, which in most of the cases is a de novo complaint.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery is the only treatment option that achieves sustained weight loss in obese patients and that also has positive effects on obesity-related comorbidities. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) seems to achieve equal weight loss as laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), but there is still much debate about the quality of life (QOL) after LSG, mainly concerning the association with gastroesophageal reflux. Our hypothesis is that QOL after LSG is comparable with QOL after LRYGB. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between February 2013 and February 2014, 150 patients were randomized to undergo either LSG or LRYGB in our clinic. Differences in QOL were compared between groups by using multiple QOL questionnaires at follow-up moments preoperatively and 2 and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS After 12 months of follow-up, 128 patients had returned the questionnaires. Most QOL questionnaires showed significant improvement in scores between the preoperative moment and after 12 months of follow-up. The Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GerdQ) score deteriorated in the LSG group after 2 months, but recovered again after 12 months. After 2 months of follow-up, the mean GerdQ score was 6.95 ± 2.14 in the LSG group versus 5.50 ± 1.49 in the LRYGB group (p < 0.001). After 1 year, the mean GerdQ score was 6.63 ± 2.26 in the LSG group and 5.60 ± 1.07 in the LRYGB group (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION This randomized controlled trial shows that patients who underwent LSG have significantly higher GerdQ scores at both 2 and 12 months postoperatively than patients who underwent LRYGB, whereas overall QOL did not differ significantly.
