“…More recently, Soto et al retrospectively reviewed the clinical outcome in 35 patients (mean age, 66.3 years; range, 60-79 years) undergoing LSG. 44 The overall morbidity rate was 8.4%, lower than the rate reported (19.5%) in a series of 92 RYGBP in elderly patients from the same center. Hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and hyperlipidemia were resolved in 73%, 53%, 46%, 66%, and 40% of cases, respectively.…”

Since the early 2000s, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has increasingly gained consensus in bariatric surgery, thanks to good to excellent results in terms of weight loss and comorbidity resolution, and to simpler technical aspects than in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and biliopancreatic diversion. In yearly consensus summits, surgical indications, technical details, and management of complications, together with continuous update of data concerning clinical outcome, have been debated on the basis of increasing collective experience. In experimental studies and clinical trials, the pathophysiological mechanisms of weight loss and remission of cardiometabolic comorbidities subsequent to sleeve gastrectomy have been extensively discussed. The aim of this paper is to offer a review of state of the art laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and to focus attention on the currently most debated topics and future prospects of this procedure.

Bariatric surgery is safe and effective to reach obesity related comorbidities resolution among elderly obese patients. Both LAGB and LSG determine a weight loss lesser than observed in a standard bariatric population. In this study LSG is significantly less cost effective than LAGB. Larger studies with longer follow up are however needed to evaluate the real impact of bariatric surgery on weight loss, resolution of comorbidities and improvement of quality of life in elderly obese patients.

“…Because many studies consider patients aged 460 years as elderly, it is difficult to interpret the current literature regarding elderly patients undergoing bariatric surgery. These different definitions of the elderly patient introduces selection bias and limits the conclusions that can be drawn regarding the super-obese geriatric population [19][20][21].…”
