The role of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as a treatment for morbid obesity; review of outcomes

Abstract: This study shows LSG is a safe and successful management strategy for morbid obesity. In addition to the direct effects of sustained weight loss, it highlights indirect effects that LSG has on obesity-related health issues, with substantial reduction in diabetic and anti-hypertensive medications. Our results reaffirm international studies of the beneficial effects of LSG on Type II diabetes and hypertension.

“…In a prospective, single‐center cohort study of 65 patients after SG, there was a 12% reduction in antihypertensive medication use at 1 month and 25% at 6 months . One more study of 183 consecutive patients undergoing SG showed that 50% of the patients reduced blood pressure medications and 34% discontinued the medications postoperatively . Overall, there are reductions in CVD risk, events, and mortality after bariatric surgery .…”

“…In a prospective, single‐center cohort study of 65 patients having SG, there was a 50% reduction in diabetes medications . Among 183 patients after SG (with 58.4% 2‐year median loss of excess body weight), 78.9% and 15.8% of those with T2D had their diabetes medications discontinued or reduced, respectively . In a retrospective study of 79 patients undergoing LAGB and followed for 10 years, diabetes control, as well as blood pressure, lipid profile, and quality of life improved, but without significant changes in diabetes medication and with a high rate of revisional surgery .…”

“…Laparoscopic Sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has gained great popularity due to its simplicity and excellent outcomes in terms of weight loss and improvement of obesity-related comorbidities [ [1] , [2] , [3] ]. The alteration of the anatomical structure of the gastrointestinal tract post LSG results in the desired weight loss metabolic and effects.…”
