Abstract

PURPOSES: Obesity and its correlation with other pathological conditions determine the onset of the metabolic syndrome, which exposes the patient to a higher risk of major cardiovascular complications. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a bariatric surgical procedure that appears to influence both the reduction of fat mass and the action of some gastrointestinal hormones. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between January 2011 and July 2013, 23 patients with morbid obesity underwent LSG and follow-up. In the evaluation of patients, the criteria for metabolic syndrome given by the International Diabetes Federation were followed. A multidisciplinary team of experts evaluated patients before surgery and in subsequent scheduled postoperative visits at 7, 30, 60, and 90 days and 4, 5, 6, 9, and 12 months. Anthropometric and metabolic parameters were analyzed. RESULTS: The mean excess weight loss was 8.57±3.02%, 17.65±6.40%, 25.47±7.90%, 33.76±9.27%, 41.83±10.71%, 46.02±13.90%, 52.60±14.05%, 58.48±16.07%, and 62.59±21.29% at 7, 30, 60, and 90 days and 4, 5, 6, 9, and 12 months, respectively. In the same observational period there was an excellent improvement of metabolic indices. None of the patients previously taking prescribed hypoglycemic drugs restarted therapy. Mean fasting plasma glucose significantly decreased compared with the preoperative values. Blood pressure had a statistically significant improvement. Modification in the lipid profile was more variable. During the period of observation 22 of 23 patients reported in this study did not fit the criteria for metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: Morbid obesity and related diseases may benefit from a surgical approach in selected patients. Randomized controlled trials are needed to evaluate the role of LSG.
