Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore efficacy and safety of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for the treatment of obesity.MethodsForty patients underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as a treatment option for weight reduction between December 2006 and February 2010.Mean preoperative body weight (BW),body mass index (BMI) and exceed body weight (EBW) were(104.2 ±3.3) kg,(36.9 ± 1.0) kg/m2 and (37.8 ±3.0) kg,respectively.Outcome data were collected and assessed prospectively.ResultsLaparoscopic procedures were completed in all patients,with no conversion to open surgery.The operation time averaged (80 ± 18 ) min,and there were no severe postoperative complications.The median postoperative hospital stay was (5.5 ± 1.5 ) days.BMI loss was (4.3 ± 1.7 ) kg/m2,( 7.0 ± 1.9 ) kg/m2,(9.3 ±3.1) kg/m2 and (10.1 ±3.8) kg/m2,respectively,and percentage of EBW loss was 35.0% ± 13.5%,57.1% ± 17.7%,74.2% ±27.2%,and 81.8% ±29.4%,respectively,at 1,3,6,and 12 months following the procedure.ConclusionLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is an effective and safe surgical option for the treatment of obesity with lower BMI.Additional long-term studies are still needed to accurately compare laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with other procedures of weight reduction.
