Abstract
Bariatric surgery has been proven to be a successful intervention for managing obesity. There are numerous studies in the literature aiming to predict the factors influencing the success of bariatric surgery. Our study aims to determine whether preoperative 1 mg overnight dexamethasone suppression test (1 mg-DST) serum cortisol levels can serve as predictors of the effectiveness of bariatric surgery in severe obese patients without Cushing syndrome. A total of 98 patients who underwent bariatric surgery were included in the study. The preoperative 1 mg-DST levels, insulin levels, thyroid function tests, and lipid profiles of the patients were recorded. The patients' preoperative, postoperative 3rd, and 6th month weights were recorded and the percent total weight loss (%TWL) is calculated. Patients were categorized into 2 groups based on their TWL at 6 months. The 1 mg-DST results were significantly lower in the high-TWL-6 group (0.93 ± 0.37 μg/dL) compared to the low-TWL-6 group (1.09 ± 0.36 μg/dL, P = .040). Similarly, Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance values were lower in the high-TWL-6 group (5.63 ± 2.21) compared to the low-TWL-6 group (6.63 ± 2.55, P = .047). The optimal cutoff value found for 1 mg-DST level was 0.97 µg/dL, providing 50% sensitivity and 70% specificity. This study is the first to examine the predictive role of suppressed 1 mg-DST levels on postoperative weight loss in nondiabetic patients. The most prominent result of this study was that we observed a negative correlation between 1 mg-DST levels and %TWL.

Short-Term Changes in Weight, Body Composition, and Metabolic Biomarkers After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Patients with Obesity: A Comparative Prospective Study. Obes Surg 2024; 34:1801-1809. [PMID: 38581628 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07208-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the changes in weight, body composition, and metabolic biomarkers in patients with obesity after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and compare those changes between patients with and without metabolic syndrome (MS). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective longitudinal study included 76 patients who underwent LSG, among whom 32 had complete 1-year postoperative body composition and metabolic biomarkers. Body composition was measured by quantitative CT. Weight changes were compared between the MS and non-MS groups at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month post-LSG in all patients; changes in body compositions and metabolic biomarkers from one day pre-LSG to 12-month post-LSG were also compared in those 32 patients. RESULTS MS occurred in 46% (35/76) of all patients and 44% (14/32) of patients with complete follow-up data. Excess weight loss was lower in the MS group than that in the non-MS group at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month post-LSG; the 12-month difference was significant (MS vs. non-MS: 0.91 ± 0.22 vs. 1.07 ± 0.42, P = 0.04). The greatest rate of visceral fat area (VFA) change occurred 12-month post-LSG in both the non-MS [0.62(0.55,0.7)] and MS [0.6(0.51,0.63)] groups. The most significant reduction in ectopic fat occurred in liver fat (LF) [non-MS, 0.45(0.22,0.58); MS, 0.39(0.23,0.58)]. CONCLUSION LGS significantly improves weight, body composition, and metabolic biomarkers in populations with obesity, regardless of whether they have MS. Among the body composition, VFA and LF were the most significantly improved body composition measurements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insufficient research exists on the stapling technique in and duration of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes using a 30-second precompression and post-firing waiting time without extra support for the stapling line. DESIGN AND SETTINGS Randomized controlled prospective study at a university hospital. METHODS This study included 120 patients treated between January 2022 and February 2023. The patients were divided into the non-waiting group (T0) and waiting group (T1), each with 60 patients. Perioperative complications were analyzed using statistical tests. RESULTS The waiting group (T1) showed a significant reduction in the number of intraoperative bleeding points requiring intervention compared with the non-waiting group (T0) (81 versus 134, P < 0.05). In T0, postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) levels increased (P < 0.05) and hemoglobin levels decreased significantly (P <0.05). The study recorded 22 postoperative complications, accounting for 18.3% of all cases during the 30-day postoperative period. CONCLUSIONS The study concluded that the 30 sec + 30 sec stapling technique reduces perioperative bleeding, length of stay, and serious complication rates and is practical and effective for LSG.

Abstract
Bleeding and leaks are the most ominous postoperative complications after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Various staple line reinforcement (SLR) techniques have been innovated such as oversewing/suturing (OS/S), omentopexy/gastropexy, buttressing, and gluing. Currently, no high-quality evidence supports the use of one method over the others or even supports the use of SLR over no SLR. This study aimed to compare postoperative outcomes between LSG with OS/S versus LSG without any SLR.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is an effective surgical procedure in the treatment of obesity. However, a significant percentage of patients suffer from weight regain over long-term follow-up. The mechanisms responsible for this process are still poorly understood. The aim of the study is to evaluate the predictive effect of weight regain in the second year after SG on long-term bariatric surgery effectiveness. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed using the database of routinely collected information about patients undergoing SG in the Department of General, Minimally Invasive and Elderly Surgery in Olsztyn. Patients were divided into two groups according to the change in body weight between the first and second years after the surgery: weight gainers (WG) and weight maintainers (WM). Results: A study group consisting of 206 patients, with follow-up over 5 years, was included in the study. The WG group consisted of 69 patients while the WM group had 137 patients. There were no significant differences between the patient characteristics (p > 0.05). The WM group had a mean %EWL of 7.45% (SD, 15.83%) and %TWL of 3.74 (SD, 8.43). The WG group had a mean %EWL of 22.78% (SD, 17.11%) and %TWL of 11.29% (SD, 8.68). The difference between the groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The study showed significantly better results in WM compared to WG (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Weight regain in the second year after SG may be a good factor for long-term bariatric surgery effectiveness prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Although bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment of severe obesity, a proportion of patients experience clinically significant weight regain (WR) with further out from surgery. The purpose of this review is to summarize the prevalence, predictors, and causes of weight regain. RECENT FINDINGS Estimating the prevalence of WR is limited by a lack of consensus on its definition. While anatomic failures such as dilated gastric fundus after sleeve gastrectomy and gastro-gastric fistula after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass can lead to WR, the most common causes appear to be dysregulated/maladaptive eating behaviors, lifestyle factors, and physiological compensatory mechanisms. To date, dietary, supportive, behavioral, and exercise interventions have not demonstrated a clinically meaningful impact on WR, and there is limited evidence for pharmacotherapy. Future studies should be aimed at better defining WR to begin to understand the etiologies. Additionally, there is a need for non-surgical interventions with demonstrated efficacy in rigorous randomized controlled trials for the prevention and reversal of WR after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of that study was to compare outcomes after Toupet-Sleeve (T-Sleeve) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) as primary bariatric procedures in obese patients presenting with preoperative gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). MATERIAL AND METHODS The outcomes of 19 consecutive patients operated between 2017 and 2019 by T-Sleeve were compared to the outcomes of 38 patients operated in 2014 by SG. The two groups were matched by age, sex, ASA classification, BMI, food habits and severity of esophagitis. Postoperative weight loss and evolution of GERD symptoms were the study end-points. RESULTS The preoperative BMI was 43 ± 5 in the T-Sleeve and 42 ± 5 in the SG group (NS). All the procedures were completed by laparoscopy. The operative time was higher in the T-Sleeve group: 89 ± 18 vs. 68 ± 12 min. (p < 0.001). A lower weight loss was observed in the T-Sleeve group. Respectively 1 and 2 years after surgery, the mean BMI were: 32 ± 6 and 34 ± 6 in the T-Sleeve vs. 28 ± 5 (p < 0.006) and 30 ± 6 (p < 0.05) in the SG group and the mean %EWL were: 61 ± 23 and 54 ± 26% in the T-Sleeve vs. 86 ± 25 (p < 0.002) and 75 ± 28% (p < 0.03) in the SG group. Better control of GERD was noted in the T-Sleeve group: the number of patients with complete resolution of GERD symptoms was 17 (89%) vs. 13 (34%) in the SG group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION T-Sleeve was an effective procedure for GERD treatment but, the weight loss was significantly much lower than after conventional SG. Studies with longer follow-up are mandatory to validate the T-Sleeve procedure.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Intermediate to long-term weight regain is a major challenge following sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Physiological changes that mediate the extent of weight loss remain unclear. We aimed to determine if there were specific esophago-gastric transit and emptying alterations associated with weight regain.
Material and Methods
Participants greater than 12 months post-SG were categorized into optimal (n = 29) and poor weight loss (PWL) (n = 72). All patients underwent a liquid contrast barium swallow demonstrating normal post-surgical anatomy and a protocolized nuclear scintigraphy designed specifically to characterize gastric emptying following SG.
Results
The %total weight loss in the optimal group was 26.2 ± 10.5 vs. 14.3 ± 8.8% in the PWL group (p = 0.001). Scintigraphy showed PWL had relatively increased gastric emptying half-time (GE 1/2t) 35 (IQR 23) min vs 19 (IQR 5.5) min (p = 0.001). The multivariate regressions delineated GE 1/2t as the best diagnostic measure for PWL (OR 1.16; CI 1.04–1.29, p-value 0.021). The probability of PWL increased by 16% for every 1-min increase above 21 min of GE 1/2t. A threshold of 21 min was found to have 88% sensitivity and 69% specificity predicting poor weight loss.
Conclusion
Gastric emptying half-times greater than 21 min appear to reliably correlate with poor weight loss following SG. Additionally, further elevations above 21 min in emptying half-time increase the risk of poor weight loss. We have shown nuclear scintigraphy represents a simple and accurate diagnostic tool in patients who experience poor weight loss after SG, provided substantially altered reporting references in interpreting nuclear scintigraphy are applied.

Abstract
Background Bariatric surgery offers long-term weight loss and maintenance for patients with obesity. Several factors may be associated with patients' inability to achieve successful excess weight loss (EWL) after the surgery. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with improved or in-progress EWL among patients who had undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Methods This original clinical investigation was conducted at the Outpatient Surgical Department-Medical Research Institute Hospital at Alexandria University in Egypt. A sample size of 100 adult surgical patients who had undergone LSG was selected from patients who attended follow-up in the study setting. Group A had an EWL% ≥50 and group B had an EWL <50. Body Mass Index (BMI) classes were defined as 25-30 kg/m2, >30-35 kg/m2, >35-40 kg/m2, >40 ≥ 45 kg/m2. Results Post-operatively, after six months, 100% of the patients in group A had a BMI between 25 and 30 mg/m2, compared to 0% in group B. Nevertheless, patients in group EWL<50 (group B) who had pre-operatively BMI class ≥45 mg/m2, had a reduction in weight of 89.5% post-operatively, (n = 2 still had a BMI >45 kg/m2 post operatively), In total, 63.9% of the patients in group B managed to get towards a BMI of 30-35 kg/m2 post-operatively. The main factors associated with group B (less %EWL after 6 months) were found to be related to higher preoperative BMI, the onset of obesity started in childhood, less preoperative weight loss, longer postoperative duration towards weight reduction, and lower postoperative compliance to dietary instructions (P = 0.0001, 0.048, 0.0001, 0.017, and 0.016, respectively). Conclusion Routine cross-sectional surveying can help clinicians in understanding patients' post-operative follow-up routines. Special attention to pre-operative BMI, weight-loss regimens, and childhood-onset as well as post-operative duration, low responders, and compliance with clinical assessment can improve weight loss outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose of review This is a comprehensive review regarding the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL). Recent Findings SEL is a relatively rare condition that has gained scientific relevance over the past few decades. Recent findings include expanding treatment strategies to include minimally invasive surgical techniques. Summary SEL is caused by an excess of adipose tissue accumulation localized to the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine. While the exact pathogenesis is not fully elucidated, the etiology of SEL can be broadly classified based on five commonly associated risk factors; exogenous steroid use, obesity, endogenous steroid hormonal disease, spine surgery, and idiopathic disease. Progression of SEL may lead to neurological deficits, myelopathy, radiculopathy, neurogenic claudication, loss of sensation, difficulty voiding, lower extremity weakness, and rarely cauda equina syndrome. Conservative management is largely patient-specific and aimed at mitigating symptoms that arise from shared risk factors. If more advanced treatment measures are necessary, minimally invasive surgery and open surgical techniques, have proven successful.

Development and validation of a scoring system for pre-surgical and early post-surgical prediction of bariatric surgery unsuccess at 2 years. Sci Rep 2021; 11:21067. [PMID: 34702864 PMCID: PMC8548411 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00475-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Bariatric surgery (BS) is an effective treatment for morbid obesity. However, a simple and easy-to-use tool for the prediction of BS unsuccess is still lacking. Baseline and follow-up data from 300 consecutive patients who underwent BS were retrospectively collected. Supervised regression and machine-learning techniques were used for model development, in which BS unsuccess at 2 years was defined as a percentage of excess-weight-loss (%EWL) < 50%. Model performances were also assessed considering the percentage of total-weight-loss (%TWL) as the reference parameter. Two scoring systems (NAG-score and ENAG-score) were developed. NAG-score, comprising only pre-surgical data, was structured on a 4.5-point-scale (2 points for neck circumference ≥ 44 cm, 1.5 for age ≥ 50 years, and 1 for fasting glucose ≥ 118 mg/dL). ENAG-score, including also early post-operative data, was structured on a 7-point-scale (3 points for %EWL at 6 months ≤ 45%, 1.5 for neck circumference ≥ 44 cm, 1 for age ≥ 50 years, and 1.5 for fasting glucose ≥ 118 mg/dL). A 3-class-clustering was proposed for clinical application. In conclusion, our study proposed two scoring systems for pre-surgical and early post-surgical prediction of 2-year BS weight-loss, which may be useful to guide the pre-operative assessment, the appropriate balance of patients' expectations, and the post-operative care.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery (BS) has been recognized as an effective treatment for most patients with morbid obesity, but a variable range of patients failed to achieve a successful weight-loss. Controversial data are available about predictors of unsuccess. We aimed to retrospectively assess whether clinical baseline characteristics of patients submitted to sleeve gastrectomy (SL) or gastric bypass (GBP) were associated with unsuccessful weight-loss after 12 and 24-month follow-up. METHODS Three hundred patients who underwent BS from the 1st January 2016, with at least 24-months follow-up, were enrolled. Patients were divided according to their percentage of excess weight-loss (%EWL) either < 50% or ≥ 50% after 12 and 24-month follow-up. RESULTS None of the patients was lost at follow-up; 56 (18.7%) patients showed a %EWL < 50% at 24 months. Age, neck circumference, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) were significantly higher, while total cholesterol and %EWL 6-months lower in those with %EWL < 50% at 12-months. Age, neck circumference, male and OSA rates were increased, while %EWL at 6-months lower in patients with %EWL < 50% at 24-months. In a multiple regression model, age (OR = 1.076; 95% CI 1.029-1.125; p = 0.001; OR = 1.066; 1.027-1.107; p < 0.001) and %EWL at 6-months (OR = 0.876; 0.840-0.913; p < 0.001; OR = 0.950; 0.928-0.972; p < 0.001) were associated with %EWL < 50% both at 12- and 24-months, respectively, and neck circumference (OR = 1.142; 1.011-1.289; p = 0.032) with %EWL < 50% at 24-months. CONCLUSION Older age, larger neck circumference, and %EWL at 6-months were significantly associated with BS unsuccess, showing almost 90% of those patients an unsuccessful weight-loss early after surgery. Further larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to confirm these results.

Obes Surg 2021; 31:3427-3433. [PMID: 33890225 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-021-05437-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2021] [Revised: 04/08/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide. Newer studies providing long-term follow-up show a high incidence of weight regain and a high incidence of reflux. The study's objective was to present 5 to 15-year follow-up results regarding weight loss, comorbidities, reoperation rate, and a potential learning curve. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Patients who underwent LSG between August 2004 and December 2014 were included. RESULTS A total of 307 patients underwent LSG either as a primary bariatric procedure (n = 262) or as a redo operation after failed laparoscopic gastric banding (n = 45). Mean body mass index at the time of primary LSG was 46.4 ± 8.0 kg/m2, and mean age at operation was 43.7 ± 12.4 years with 68% females. Follow-up was 84% and 70% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. The mean percentage excess body mass index loss (%EBMIL) for primary LSG was 62.8 ± 23.1% after 5 years, 53.6 ± 24.6% after 10 years, and 51.2 ± 20.3% after 13 years. Comorbidities improved considerably (e.g., type 2 diabetes mellitus 61%), while the incidence of new-onset reflux was 32.4%. Reoperation after LSG was necessary in almost every fifth LSG-patient: 24 patients (7.8%) were reoperated due to insufficient weight loss, 12 patients (3.9%) due to reflux, 23 due to both (7.5%). CONCLUSIONS LSG provides a long-term %EBMIL from 51 to 54% beyond 10 years and a significant improvement of comorbidities. On the other hand, a high incidence of insufficient weight loss and de novo reflux was observed, leading to reoperation and conversion to a different anatomy in 19.2%.

Abstract
Introduction: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is now the most common bariatric procedure to treat morbidly obese patients. The main concern of LSG lies in the long-term weight regain, which is reported to happen in up to 75.6% of patients after 6 years. In this study, we report our overall experience with Laparoscopic Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy (LBSG) using the MiniMizer® over a 6-year period. Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective review of data from a prospectively collected database. All patients submitted to primary LBSG were examined. Patients were submitted to LBSG between February 2014 and January 2020. Collected data included demographic factors, preoperative body mass index (BMI), operative time, surgical complications, and clinical outcomes. Results: Two hundred nine patients were submitted to primary LBSG in the study period. They were 136 females (65%) and 73 males (35%) with a median age of 43.0 years (range, 18-65 years). Median preoperative BMI was 48.4 kg/m2 (range, 36.2-65.5 kg/m2). Median operative time was 72.0 minutes (range, 40-142 minutes). Median time for ring placement was 8.0 minutes. Median postoperative hospital stay was 2.8 days. Seven major complications occurred in the postoperative period (3.3%): five gastric leaks (2.3%) and two major bleedings (0.9%). There was no postoperative mortality in the 209 patients. Long-term major complications occurred in 2 patients (0.9%). Median follow-up was 49.2 months (range, 2-72 months). Median postoperative BMI was 29.6 kg/m2 (range, 22-42 kg/m2). Median %excess weight loss (%EWL) at 1 year after surgery was 52.0%. Median %EWL at last follow-up visit was 64.0%. Conclusion: LBSG is as safe as standard LSG with excellent results in terms of postoperative morbidity and weight loss outcomes. Whether this procedure may result superior to standard LSG in the long-term period needs to be evaluated in randomized trials. Clinical Study Registration Number: NCT04354532.

Abstract
Setting: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is gaining popularity as a bariatric option. Gastric leak (GL) is the most dreaded septic complication of LSG. Early detection and treatment of this complication may improve outcomes. Objectives: This study investigates biomarkers that might be useful to predict GL before its clinical presentation in patients who underwent LSG. Patients and Methods: This study, prospective observational, was carried out in 151 patients, who underwent LSG for morbid obesity between February 2014 and October 2019. Blood samples were collected before the operation and on post-operative days one, three and five to dose serum C-reactive protein (CRP), pro-calcitonin (PCT), fibrinogen, white blood cells (WBCs) count and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). Results: GL occurred in 6 patients (3.97%). According to the receiver operating characteristics curve, NLR detected leak with remarkably higher sensitivity (100%) and specificity (100%) than CRP, fibrinogen, WBC on all the days and higher than PCT in post-operative days 3 and 5. Moreover, the area under the curve (AUC) of NLR (AUC = 1) was higher than the AUC of CRP, fibrinogen, WBC on all the days and higher than PCT in post-operative days 3 and 5, suggesting important statistical significance. Conclusions: Because NLR and PCT detected GL with remarkably higher sensitivity and specificity than CRP, fibrinogen and WBC, these two markers seem to be more accurate for the early detection of this complication.

Abstract
Objectives The prevalence of morbid obesity has dramatically increased over the last several decades worldwide, currently reaching epidemic proportions. Gastric leak (GL) remains the potentially fatal main complication after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) for morbid obesity. To our knowledge, there are no standardized guidelines for GL treatment after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) yet. The aim of this study was to represent our institutional preliminary experience using the endoscopic double-pigtail catheter (EDPC) as the method of internal drainage and propose it as first-line treatment in case of GL after LSG. Methods One hundred and seventeen patients were admitted to our surgical department and underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for morbid obesity from March 2014 to June 2019. In 5 patients (4.3%) of our series, GL occurred as a complication of LSG. EPDC was the stand-alone procedure of internal drainage and GL first-line treatment. The internal pig tail was endoscopically removed from 30th to 40th POD in all cases. Results Present data (clinical, biochemical, and instrumental tests) showed a complete resolution of GL, with promotion of a pseudodiverticula and complete re-epithelialization of leak. Follow-up was more strict than usual (clinical visit and biochemical test on 7th, 14th, and 21st day after discharge; a CT scan with gastrografin on 30th day from discharge if clinical visit and exams were normal). Conclusion This was a preliminary retrospective observational study, conducted on 5 patients affected by GL as a complication of LSG for morbid obesity. EDPC maintains the safety, efficacy, and nonexpensive characteristic and may be proposed as better first-line treatment in case of GL after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Backgrounds. One of the major complications after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is represented by leaks along the staple line. Several reinforcement techniques have been proposed, but scarce data about the real strengthening offered are present. Thus, we aimed to evaluate if different reinforcements produced different bursting pressures after LSG, and then to verify if the clinical application of the stronger reinforcement produced a reduction in leakage rate. Methods. We prospectively enrolled all consecutive obese patients that underwent LSG. We tested 3 different types of staple lines, as follows: group 1, no reinforcement; group 2, bioabsorbable buttress reinforcement; group 3, invaginating overrunning barbed suture. A burst pressure test was applied to the gastric specimen by means of high-resolution manometric catheter. After burst pressure tests, a subsequent consecutive series of patients were treated with the most effective reinforcement, and rate of leaks was recorded. Results. We enrolled in total 110 obese patients; 20 patients for each group of staple line reinforcement and then other 50 consecutive patients underwent LSG with the higher burst pressure staple line reinforcement. Median burst pressures were similar in group 1 and group 2; group 3 showed a statistically significant pressure increase (P < .0001) than group 1 and group 2, with a 5.2-fold value. Other consecutive 50 obese patients underwent LSG with overrunning reinforcement. In none of them a leak was detected. Conclusions. Reinforcement of the SG staple line, with overrunning suture, seems to drastically increase bursting pressures in an ex vivo model and it is promising when reproduced in vivo.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Current bariatric surgical practice has developed from early procedures, some of which are no longer routinely performed. This review highlights how surgical practice in this area has developed over time. RECENT FINDINGS This review outlines early procedures including jejuno-colic and jejuno-ileal bypass, initial experience with gastric bypass, vertical banded gastroplasty and biliopancreatic diversion with or without duodenal switch. The role laparoscopy has played in the widespread utilization of surgery for treatment of obesity will be described, as will the development of procedures which form the mainstay of current bariatric surgical practice including gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and adjustable gastric banding. Endoscopic therapies for the treatment of obesity will be described. By outlining how bariatric surgical practice has developed over time, this review will help practicing surgeons understand how individual procedures have evolved and also provide insight into potential future developments in this field.

Abstract
PURPOSE Both laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and liraglutide cause a significant weight loss. We evaluated the effect of liraglutide in comparison with placebo on total weight loss (TWL) and excess body weight loss (EWL) and when added in initial weight loss period after LSG in obese individuals. MATERIAL AND METHODS Participants with BMI > 30 kg/m2 undergoing LSG were randomised to receive either liraglutide (subcutaneous) in increasing does of 0.6 mg/day until maximum tolerated dose of 3.0 mg (L-L group) or placebo (L-P group) from 6 weeks post-operative until 6 months. Weight, BMI, %TWL, %EWL, HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, HOMA-IR, resolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, sleep apnea and quality of life were evaluated. Primary end point was %TWL and % EWL at post-operative 6 months. RESULTS Thirty participants underwent LSG, and 23 were randomised to receive liraglutide (n = 12) or placebo (n = 11).The mean dose of liraglutide in L-L group was 1.41 ± 0.49 mg/day. Patients in L-L group had %TWL of 28.2 ± 5.7 and %EWL of 58.7 ± 14.3 as compared with 23.2 ± 6.2 (p = 0.116) and 44.5 ± 8.6 (p = 0.043) in L-P group at 24 weeks, respectively. BMI decreased by 11.7 ± 3.5 in L-L group compared with 9.5 ± 4.0 in L-P group (p = 0.287). All patients with diabetes or pre-diabetes had resolution of dysglycemia in the L-L group as compared with 50% in L-P group. However, there was no significant difference in resolution of other obesity-related comorbidities between two groups at 24-week follow-up. CONCLUSION Liraglutide added early after LSG significantly augments weight loss from LSG in obese individuals. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study protocol was registered at clinical trials.gov.in with NCT: 04325581.

Abstract
Introduction: The recurrence of the morbid obesity disease after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a well-known complication. The banded resleeve gastrectomy (ReSG) is considered an innovative procedure and an alternative restrictive option to other malabsorptive procedures. Materials and Methods: We present an edited video on the placement of a MIDCAL™ (MID, Dardilly, France) ring during a revised sleeve gastrectomy with the main steps of the procedure. The subject is a male patient with a body mass index of 44 kg/m2. After the fundus resection, the MIDCAL is placed and fixed to the stomach by two sutures. Results: We present the steps of the operation. The intervention is performed by posterior approach using a three-port technique. The dissection of the previous staple line of the sleeve was continued upward with the visualization of the left crura. The gastric tube was calibrated with a 36F bougie. The restapling of the previous sleeve was carried out by respecting the incisura angularis. The dissection of the pars flaccida allowed the posterior passage of the MIDCAL ring, which was locked and then fixed to the gastric wall with two nonabsorbable sutures. The operative outcome was favorable. The total body weight loss was 9% at 1 month and 27% at 2 years follow-up. Conclusion: Banded ReSG is a safe procedure with acceptable results at short term. Other comparative studies are suitable to provide with long-term follow-up results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is one of the most popular bariatric operations and one of the most frequently studied areas in bariatric surgery. AIM To summarise the characteristics of the most frequently cited studies focusing on SG. MATERIAL AND METHODS We used the Web of Science database to identify all studies focused on SG published from 2000 to 2018. The term "sleeve gastrectomy" and synonyms were used to reveal the 100 most cited records. RESULTS The most frequently cited publication had 493 citations. The highest mean number of citations per year was 73.00. Studies were most frequently published in the years 2010 and 2012. Articles were most commonly published in bariatric surgery-oriented journals. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates an increase in medical researchers' interest in the subject of SG and underlines the need to perform studies with a higher level of evidence to further analyse the outcomes and basic science behind SG.

Short- to medium-term results of single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass compared with one-anastomosis gastric bypass for weight recidivism after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Surg Obes Relat Dis 2020; 16:1060-1066. [PMID: 32473786 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2020.04.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2019] [Revised: 03/28/2020] [Accepted: 04/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
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
BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) used for super obesity (SO) and super super obesity (SSO) remain controversial. The meta-analysis was to summarize the evidence. METHODS We searched in MEDLINE and PubMed for studies concerning RYGB and SG for SO or SSO and pooled complication, percentage excess weight loss (%EWL), and resolution of comorbidities. RESULTS Twelve studies were identified. RYGB achieved higher %EWL at 12 months, but no significant difference at 24 months. Resolution of diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia reached a statistical significance; however, there was no significant difference in hypertension. CONCLUSIONS RYGB was superior in %EWL for SSO and SO at 12 months. However, regarding at 24 months, RYGB was equal to SG, which is from a meta-analysis and cannot be seen as a definitive conclusion.

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.

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 Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has been the most frequently performed bariatric procedure worldwide since 2014. Therefore, it is vital to look at its outcomes in a long-term follow-up based on a large patient collective. Main points of discussion are weight regain, reflux, and patients' quality of life at 10+ years after the procedure. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to present an update of data that have been published recently and, thus, achieve more conclusive results. The number of patients has been doubled, and the length of the follow-up is still 10+ years. SETTING Multi-center study, medical university clinic, Austria METHODS: This study includes all patients who had SG before December 2006 at the participating bariatric centers. At 10+ years, non-converted patients (67%) were examined using gastroscopy, manometry, 24-hour pH-metry, and questionnaires. Patients' history of weight, comorbidities, and reflux were established through interviews. RESULTS At 10+ years after SG, the authors found a conversion rate of 33%, an %EWL in non-converted patients of 50.0 ± 22.5, reflux in 57%, and Barrett's metaplasia in 14% of non-converted patients. Gastroscopies revealed that patients with reflux were significantly more likely to have de-novo hiatal hernia. A significantly lower quality of life was detected through GIQLI and BAROS in patients with reflux. CONCLUSION The authors recommend gastroscopies at 5-year intervals after SG to detect the possible sequelae of reflux at an early stage. Conversion to Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass (RYGB) works well to cure patients from reflux but may not be as efficient at treating weight regain.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a common bariatric procedure with high rates of weight regain (WR). Clinicians and patients have identified a lack of follow-up support and maladaptive lifestyle behaviours as potential causes for WR. While text message support has been shown to be effective for weight loss in non-surgical patients, it has not been investigated for reducing WR in bariatric patients. PURPOSE To determine the effectiveness of text message support in reducing weight regain following sleeve gastrectomy. METHODS A text message intervention was designed. The effectiveness of the intervention was investigated by a randomised trial powered to detect a 15% difference in the primary outcome of percent excess weight loss (84 participants required). Secondary outcomes were the Bariatric Analysis and Reporting System (BAROS) score and patient satisfaction. Outcomes were assessed at 6 and 12 months. RESULTS Ninety-five participants were randomised to either standard care or text message support (daily text message for 1 year). While there was no significant difference in the primary outcome at 6 or 12 months, patients who received the intervention tended to have less WR and a significantly better BAROS score at 12 months. Participants who received text message support found it beneficial, would have liked the messages to continue, and felt WR was reduced by having the text message support. CONCLUSION Text message support following SG is feasible, may reduce weight regain, improves the BAROS score and is valued by patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02341001.

Abstract
SETTING Private clinic, Stockholm, and nation-wide in-hospital care, Sweden. OBJECTIVES The use of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) for treatment of morbid obesity has increased worldwide, but information about long-term outcome is still limited. Our objective was to evaluate the need for additional in-hospital care after SG for obesity (body mass index [BMI] > 30) in 862 patients, all operated at a single center. METHODS Two national registries, the Inpatient Registry and the Death Registry, were used to collect long-term data on in-hospital care, grouped by the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) and mortality, respectively. RESULTS In-hospital care for SG-operated females was decreased for four groups of obesity-related ICD-10 diagnoses: endocrine and metabolic diseases and circulatory, digestive, and genitourinary diseases, as well as injuries and poisoning (p < 0.001 for all). However, female SG patients still required in-hospital care above the national level for women of corresponding ages. CONCLUSIONS Although a significant reduction in in-hospital care was observed, SG patients did not reach national levels.

Abstract
AIM Dietitians are nutrition experts who conduct nutrition assessments and provide support to patients seeking to manage their weight. The aim of the present study was to assess dietitians' perspectives on the barriers and enablers encountered by patients during their weight management journey. METHODS Fourteen individual semi-structured interviews were conducted over a 3-month period in 2017 with dietitians working in Ontario, Canada. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Two researchers coded the data independently using a directed content analysis approach. RESULTS Emerging themes were classified at societal, community, relationship, individual levels of the social-ecological model (SEM). Barriers included low socioeconomic status, 'go big or go home approach', lack of knowledge and cooking skills, lack of time, emotional eating, unsupportive home and work environments, discrimination and weight bias, lack of communication between health professionals, and low accessibility to healthy foods. Enablers included community programs, workplaces promoting healthy behaviours, and ongoing clinical support. Dietitians mentioned that patients encounter many barriers that may coexist and hinder weight management and/or maintenance of lost weight. CONCLUSIONS Communication between health team members and ongoing patient support in the clinical setting are required. A whole-of-government, whole-of-society approach is needed to target the various aforementioned barriers at various level of the SEM.

Obesity has become one of the most significant health problems worldwide, affecting more than one-third of the global population. The elderly population is not immune to this proportional increase in obesity. To date, there is no cure for obesity, but surgery is the most effective treatment available today.We analyzed the results of bariatric surgery in elderly patients for a period of 3 years. Patients 65 years old and older were included in the study, 451 older adults were included. The mean age of the study group was 67.92 years old (min. 65, max. 84). The mean body mass index (BMI) was 40.32 Kg/m (min. 34 and max. 59). Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) was the most common procedures, and were conducted in 346 (76.72%) patients, gastric bypasses (GBPs) in 53 (11.75%) of which 33 were roux en y GBP (7.32%) and 20 mini GBPs (4.43%), gastric banding in 48 (10.64%), and duodenal switching in 4 (0.89%) cases.There were 40 (8.86%) patients with perioperative complications, 6 (1.33%) required re-operations, 12 (2.66) patients with operative complications were treated conservatively, 8 (1.77%) re-admission 5 of them with intrabdominal abscess, and 14 (3.10%) with co-morbidities complications. More than 76% of the patients had co-morbidities, 1 year after surgery the average remission of diseases was 34.74%, the improvement was49.67% and no changes in the co-morbidities was 15.59%. There were no deaths reported in this cohort.The mean excess body weight (EBW) loss among the patients was 70.76% (from 32% to 92%). No failure of weight loss (less than 25% of EBW loss) was observed after the first postoperative year.Bariatric surgery offers obese elderly patients an acceptable result, and it can be offered to improve the quality of life of these patients. A new consensus conference panel is needed to set appropriate recommendations regarding criteria that limit bariatric surgery in older adults.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is frequently encountered in patients with orthotopic liver transplant (OLT). The role of bariatric surgery is still unclear for this specific population. The aim of this study was to review our experience with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) after OLT. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective case-control study of patients undergoing LSG after OLT from 2010 to 2016. OLT-LSG patients were matched by age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and year to non-OLT patients undergoing LSG. Demographics, operative variables, postoperative events, and long-term weight loss with comorbidity resolution were collected and compared between cases and controls. RESULTS Of 303 patients undergoing LSG, 12 (4%) had previous OLT. They were matched to 36 non-OLT patients. No difference was found between groups in the American Society of Anesthesiologists class, mean operative time, or postoperative morbidity. The non-OLT group, however, had a significantly shorter mean hospital stay than the OLT group (1.7 vs 3.1 days; P < .001). There were no conversions to open procedures. For patients with long-term follow-up, change in BMI after LSG was similar between the groups, but the non-OLT patients had significantly more excess body weight loss at 2 years (53.7 vs 45.2%; P < .001). Similar resolution of comorbid conditions was noted in both groups. LSG caused no changes in dosage of immunosuppressive medications, and no liver complications occurred. CONCLUSION LSG after OLT in appropriately selected patients appears to have similar outcomes to LSG in non-OLT patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has massively increased in numbers over the last decade and is the most frequently performed bariatric procedure worldwide today. The aim of this review is to evaluate SG in terms of weight loss and resolution of comorbidities, based on data gained from the latest long-term studies available. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This review includes the results of any long-term studies on SG available at this point as well as a selection of short- and mid-term studies. RESULTS: There are only a handful of studies on sleeve gastrectomy with long-term follow-up available at this point. Conversion rates in these long-term studies amount to up to one-third of their cohorts; however, excess weight loss in patients maintaining their sleeve is over 50%. Results on the resolution of comorbidities vary among the studies available today. SUMMARY: Sleeve gastrectomy is a valid bariatric method but one has to be aware of its limitations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is the most commonly performed bariatric surgery in the world. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been shown to reduce complications and decrease length of stay for various types of surgeries. In this study, we propose an ERAS protocol for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and compare the clinical outcomes with patients who received standard care. METHODS We performed a single-institution retrospective analysis in patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy from February 2015 to December 2017. Patients were stratified into standard care and ERAS protocol groups. The ERAS protocol consisted of goal-directed patient education, specific pre- and post-op multi-modal medication regimen, early ambulation, and early oral intake. Patients were discharged on their first post-operative day if they met appropriate post-surgical milestones. The primary outcomes were length of stay, 7- and 30-day readmission rates, and complication rates. Secondary outcomes included anti-emetic and pain medication utilization, post-operative emesis episodes per day, post-operative pain scores, and mortality. RESULTS We included 214 consecutive patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy, 130 were in the ERAS group and 84 were in the standard care group. Median hospital stay was significantly shorter in the ERAS group compared to the standard care group (1 vs. 2 days; p < 0.001). There were no differences in 7- or 30-day readmission rates (1.5 vs. 1.2%; p = 0.838, 2.3 vs. 2.4%; p = 0.966) or post-operative complications (6.2 vs. 3.6%; p = 0.410). The ERAS group also had decreased median intra-operative opioid consumption and self-reported pain scores on post-operative day 1 (27.5 MME vs. 27.4 MME; p = 0.044, 3.3 vs. 3.9; p = 0.046). Mortality rate was 0% overall. CONCLUSION A cost-effective ERAS protocol for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy results in shorter length of stay, without increase in peri-operative morbidity or readmission rates.

Abstract
Obesity and its associated comorbidities have become one of the largest challenges for health care in the near future. Conservative therapy for obesity and related comorbidities has a very high failure rate and poor long-term results. Similarly, the conservative and medical management of the majority of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus are only able to slow down disease progression but have no causal effect on the disease process. Obesity surgery has evolved as a highly effective therapy for severe obesity achieving long-lasting weight loss. Furthermore, several studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of obesity surgery on reduction of overall mortality, reduction of cardiovascular events and superior control of obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and also the non-alcoholic steatohepatitis compared to medical therapy. Based on these findings, the term 'metabolic surgery' with the focus on treating metabolic diseases independent of body weight has been coined. Of great interest are recent studies that show that even existing complications of metabolic diseases such as diabetic nephropathy or the non-alcoholic steatohepatitis can be reversed by metabolic surgery. Although metabolic surgery has proven to be a safe and effective treatment for obesity, resolution of comorbidities and enhancing quality of life, it is still uncertain and unclear, which surgical procedure is the most effective to achieve these metabolic effects. The aim of this review is to compare the effects of the two currently most widely used metabolic operations, the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and the sleeve gastrectomy in the treatment of obesity and its related comorbidities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity is one of the major health challenges throughout the world. The association between obesity and diabetes is well established because 90% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) show excess body weight. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in the long-term follow-up. METHODS One hundred ninety-five obese patients, 78 with T2DM, were evaluated before and after LSG up to 10 years, to identify complete diabetes remission (FPG < 100 mg/dl, A1c < 6.0%), partial remission (FPG 100-125 mg/dl, A1c < 6.5%), or relapse. RESULTS Before surgery, body weight and BMI were 123 ± 21 kg and 44.6 ± 6.8 kg/m2 respectively; at a mean follow-up of 7 years (range 4-10), body weight was 104.9 ± 18 kg and BMI 37 ± 6 kg/m2. Minimum weight was reached after 2 years. T2DM remission was observed in 66, 57, and 52% at short (< 2 years), medium (2-5 years), and long-term (> 5 years) follow-up respectively. Furthermore, 45.2% maintained complete remission for at least 5 years and about 36% showed a persistent but improved diabetes. None of the patients cured from diabetes had a duration disease greater than 8 years and a glycemic control requiring insulin. The prevalence of hypertension and dyslipidemia significantly decreased from 49 to 35% and from 51 to 40% respectively. CONCLUSIONS LSG significantly improves body weight, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia in long-term follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is now the most common bariatric operation in the United States and has become an established procedure in the armamentarium of the bariatric surgeon. However, this has happened without the strong support of long-term outcomes data, namely the rate of revision and durability of the weight loss. Newly published data from around the world are starting to show alarming trends in these 2 areas. This paper will examine the published and presented data with at least a 7-year follow-up. OBJECTIVES This is a meta-analysis on published data with at least 7 years of follow-up from the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. SETTING Online published articles. METHODS We performed a meta-analysis of publications with at least 7 years of follow-up with the keywords "laparoscopic, bariatric, sleeve gastrectomy, sleeve, long-term, long, term, results, follow-up, follow up, conversion, 7 years, 8 years, 9 years, 10 years, 11 years." We queried the PubMed, MEDLINE, and ClinicalKey search engines, which included abstracts as well. The I2 statistic was used to determine the heterogeneity across the studies. In presence of heterogeneity, a random effect model using the Dersimonian and Laird method was used to estimate the pooled estimates. The results were summarized using effect size along with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Meta-regression was also used to assess the effect of body mass index and follow-up years on the incidence of recidivism at ≥7 years. RESULTS Nine cohort studies met the inclusion criteria, with a total of 2280 patients included initially. Only 652 patients had completed ≥7 years of follow-up. At ≥7 years, the long-term weight recidivism rate was estimated to be 27.8% (I2 = .60%; 95% CI: 22.8%-32.7%) with a range of 14% to 37%. The overall revision rate was estimated to be 19.9% (I2 = 93.8%; 95% CI: 11.3%-28.5%). This was broken down into 13.1% (I2 = 93.8%; 95% CI: 5.6%-20.6%) due to weight regain (5 studies) and 2.9% (I2 = 60.8%; 95% CI: 1%-4.9%) due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (5 studies). CONCLUSIONS Based on available data up to the beginning of 2017, bariatric surgeons should be aware of the long-term outcomes of the sleeve gastrectomy, especially regarding revisions and weight regain. It is incumbent on the surgeon to make sure that bariatric patients are truly informed regarding the long-term results of the sleeve gastrectomy.
