Metabolic efficiency of laparoscopic antireflux modifications of sleeve gastrectomy

Abstract

The results of 172 laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy performed in antireflux variant, and 157 of these operations carried out by standard methods were analyzed. Results obtained showed no effect of modification of surgical technique on the metabolic efficiency of surgery and during the early postoperative period. Losing overweight in the compared groups was 67.1±21.2% and 66.9±19.8% (p>0.05), and postoperative blood glucose levels -5.08±1.23 mmol/l and 5.04±1.30 mmol/l (p>0.05), respectively. At the same time the use of antireflux procedure has reduced the proportion of patients with surgery objective evidence of gastroesophageal reflux in 1.91 times (p<0.01) after 1 year.
