Abstract
CONTEXT: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has gained popularity as a metabolic procedure, but its long-term effectiveness for Romanian patients remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: To assess the long-term efficacy of SG for Romanian patients and to evaluate the differences between 5 years and 1 year follow-up. DESIGN: A longitudinal, prospective analysis of collected data from 68 patients undergoing SG between 2009 and 2014 was performed. Long-term outcomes at 5 years were analyzed in terms of total weight loss (%TWL), excess weight loss (%EWL), body composition and glucose homeostasis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: All patients meeting the standard criteria for SG before inclusion were prospectively enrolled in the study. Of the 68 patients, eight were lost to follow-up, therefore, 60 patients (41.7±12.5 years, baseline body mass index [BMI] 44.6±9.9Kg/m2) were analyzed. RESULTS: The BMI decreased at 12 months with 30.7% from the preoperative BMI (p<0.001) and subsequently stabilized at 5 years.TWL and EWL were 30.6% and 83.1%, respectively at 1 year, with a slightly increase at 5 years.Therapeutic success rate (%EWL≥50) and diabetes remission rate (Buchwald criteria) were 93.3% and respectively 63.6% at 5 years. Insulin sensitivity index and metabolic clearance rate of glucose increased with 92.5% and 60.1% respectively, in the third month from baseline (p<0.001), while estimated second phase of insulin secretion decreased with 7.9% in the first month postoperatively (p=0.04), remaining stable afterwards. CONCLUSIONS: SG was effective in terms of %EWL, body composition and glucose homeostasis improvement for Romanian patients, the outcomes stabilizing after 1 year follow-up.
