Abstract
PURPOSE: To present the early metabolic effects of sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (SG + TB) procedure in female obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: This prospective clinical study was carried out between January 2016 and June 2017. Inclusion criteria were female participants under 60 years old with T2DM, body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m2 and HbA1c level ≥ 8%. All patients underwent to SG + TB procedure. Primary outcomes were the glycemic control variables, and the secondary outcomes were weight loss and dyslipidemia levels up to the last follow-up point. RESULTS: A total of 35 female participants with an average age of 48.8 ± 6.0 years old and a mean preoperative BMI of 42.0 ± 1.3 kg/m2 were included during the study period. Diabetic remission was achieved in 88.6% of patients (n = 31) on the third month without any antidiabetic medications. The mean postoperative BMI of patients was 24.8 ± 1.6 kg/m2, and dyslipidemia levels were significiantly lower at the last follow-up point of all patients. CONCLUSIONS: SG + TB procedure may be a potent therapeutic option for the treatment of obese patients with T2DM.
