Abstract
The association of a bariatric operation during liver transplantation may benefit patients with liver failure and obesity and sleeve gastrectomy emerges as the procedure of choice. The aim of this study is to present our experience with combined liver transplantation and sleeve gastrectomy. During an 18-month period, seven patients were submitted to simultaneous liver transplant and sleeve gastrectomy (LTSG). There were four male and three female, and the mean recipient age was 60.5 years, mean BMI was 38.2 kg/m2, and mean MELD score was 25 points. The indication for liver transplantation was nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in four cases, hepatitis C with HCC in one case, pure NASH in one case and alcoholic cirrhosis with HCC in one case. Six patients are alive with normal allograft function. There were no biliary complications.Entities:
