Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a recent addition to the bariatric surgery armamentarium. It has been demonstrated to be an efficacious stand-alone bariatric procedure in regard to weight loss. This study evaluates the progress of our initial experience with LSG. Retrospective review of prospective data from 2008 to 2010. Compared data between our first operative year of experience with LSG (2008) and our third year of experience (2010). Data compared for up to three years postoperatively. End points were percentage of excess body weight loss (%EWL) and percentage of excess body mass index loss (%EBL). Institutional improvement in %EWL and %EBL rates as our collective experience increased with LSG. Mean increase in %EWL of 14 per cent and mean increase of %EBL of 22 per cent. In our first year performing LSG the institutional weight loss was <50 per cent EWL, which is often cited as a benchmark level for “success” after bariatric surgery. By our third year of experience with LSG we achieved an institutional weight loss >50 per cent EWL. Institutional improvement in weight loss results with LSG as the collective experience increased. Several factors could have contributed to this observation to include a surgical men-torship program and the institution of formal nutritional education. This study demonstrates that institutional experience is a significant factor in weight loss results with LSG.

Introduction: Obesity is becoming one of the major public health problems. Bariatric procedures are considered the most effective methods of treating this condition but they are costly and entail a high risk of complications. Thus, there is a need to look for better bariatric treatment solutions. One of the newest, highly promising bariatric methods is endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), which is comparably effective to other bariatric procedures in terms of weight loss but at the same time it is much less invasive. Materials and methods: Eight obese patients underwent ESG. Under general anaesthesia, an endoscope was inserted into the stomach, where a row of 4-5 running stitches was placed (from the pyloric part towards the GE junction). Each of the stitches was cinched tight, which resulted in gastric lumen reduction comparable to that achieved with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Results: The procedures were performed without any severe peri-operative complications. The only adverse event was a minor haemorrhage in one of the patients, which did not require any surgical intervention. After the surgery, the patients reported a substantial weight loss. Mean %TBWL was 8.6%, 15.4% and 19.6% at 1, 2 and 3 months, respectively. Conclusions: Minimally invasive and highly effective in body weight reduction, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is a promising method of treating obesity. The procedure requires appropriate tools and equipment. The method guarantees gastric volume reduction comparable to that achieved with sleeve resection. The initial results confirm that the effectiveness of the surgery in terms of body weight loss is similar to that seen in other forms of bariatric treatment. Discussion: Compared to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is substantially less invasive. Also, it requires shorter procedure time and shorter hospital stay. Data from other medical centres demonstrate somewhat lower dynamics of total body weight loss but these results need to be verified in a long-term follow-up.

Introduction. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a widely utilized and effective surgical procedure for dramatic weight loss in obese patients. Leak at the sleeve staple line is the most serious complication of this procedure, occurring in 1–3% of cases. Techniques to minimize the risk of sleeve gastrectomy leaks have been published although no universally agreed upon set of techniques exists. This report describes a single-surgeon experience with an approach to sleeve leak prevention resulting in a progressive decrease in leak rate over 5 years. Methods. 1070 consecutive sleeve gastrectomy cases between 2012 and 2016 were reviewed retrospectively. Patient characteristics, sleeve leaks, and percent body weight loss at 6 months were reported for each year. Conceptual and technical changes aimed towards leak reduction are presented. Results. With the implementation of the described techniques of the sleeve gastrectomy, the rate of sleeve leaks fell from 4% in 2012 to 0% in 2015 and 2016 without a significant change in weight loss, as depicted by 6-month change in body weight and percent excess BMI lost. Conclusion. In this single-surgeon experience, sleeve gastrectomy leak rate has fallen to 0% since the implementation of specific technical modifications in the procedure.

Aim. To study of the effect of the diameter of the calibration tube and the distance from the pyloric sphincter on the outcomes of the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Methods. The study included 945 (915 women) patients with a body mass index 51.59 kg/m2. The average age of the patients was 53.58.5 years. The patients were divided into 2 groups by the type of laparoscopic surgery: in the first group (n=463), a 36 Fr calibration tube was used, the distance from the pyloric sphincter was 46 cm; in the second group (n=482), a 32 Fr calibration tube was used, the distance from the pyloric sphincter was 23 cm. The main comparison criteria was the percentage of body weight loss in the first 6 and 12 months, and an additional comparison criteria was the of concomitant diseases progress in postoperative and the existence of complications. Results. A comparative analysis showed that the first group in the first 6 months lost 593% of its initial body weight, while in 12 months 714%; in the second group, 733 and 873% of the initial weight, respectively. Concomitant diseases in the first group decreased by 7080% by the 6th month after surgery and by 8596% by the 12th month. In the 2nd group, similar remission with improvement was between 84 and 94% at the 6th month, and remained the same at the 12th month. Conclusion. The results of the study show that in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with a calibration tube diameter 32 Fr and a distance of 23 cm from the pyloric sphincter, compared to a calibration tube diameter 36 Fr or more and a distance of 46 cm from the pyloric sphincter, a body weight loss faster and more effective with earlier remission of concomitant diseases, while the number of complications is comparable.

Objective: To determine the early outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with respect to weight loss and amelioration of comorbid conditions in morbidly obese patients. Study Design: Prospective descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: MTI-Lady Reading hospital Peshawar and Royal Imperial hospital Swat from January 2018 to January 2020. Materials and Methods: Total thirty-eight morbidly obese patients of either sex with age range of 25-65 years were included in this study. Informed written consent was taken from all the patients and their demographic details such as age, sex and comorbid conditions were recorded. All the patients underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Preoperative and postoperative data such as body mass index, total & excess weight loss and impact on comorbidities were analyzed. Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System (BAROS) scoring system was used to analyze the outcomes. Follow-up was taken at 1 year post-operatively. Results: Majority were female 25 (65.8%) patients and 13 (34.2%) males with mean age of 45.39±9.64 years. Comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and obstructive sleep apnoea were recorded in 13.2%, 26.3%, 7.9% and 10.53% patients respectively. Mean excess body weight loss (EWL) was 60.25±12.7 kg and mean body mass index loss was 15.14+9.33 kg/m2at 1 year follow up. Postoperative systolic blood pressure improvement was observed in 23 (60.5%) patients. A significant improvement was observed regarding diabetes mellitus (preoperatively mean HbA1C 9.7±5.9 vs postoperatively mean HbA1C 4.42±3.6) p-value <0.001. According to the BAROS score, 5 (13.3%) showed excellent, 14 (36.8%) showed very good, 17 (44.74%) showed good, 2 (5.3%) showed fair and no patient showed poor outcomes. Satisfaction rate among patients was 94.7%. Conclusion: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is an excellent procedure both in terms of weight loss and amelioration of comorbid conditions in morbidly obese patients. Key words: Sleeve gastrectomy, Laparoscopic, Excess body weight loss, Morbid obesity

Abstract Background Bariatric surgery is effective for the treatment of patients with morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), for body weight loss and glycemic control. However, in Japan, there has been no previous report of the effectiveness bariatric surgery in a case of morbid obesity associated with acute onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), in which pancreatic β-cells were destroyed and endogenous insulin was depleted. Case presentation A 36-year-old woman with morbid obesity and T1DM, diagnosed when she was 6 years, was admitted for bariatric surgery. At her first consultation, she had a body weight of 106.7 kg and a body mass index of 42.2 kg/m2. Her HbA1c level was 9.0%, with a required daily insulin dose of 75 units. She underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. At 1 year after surgery, her body weight had decreased to 81.0 kg and her body mass index to 32.2 kg/m2. In addition, her daily required dose of insulin had decreased to 24 units, with an improvement in her HbA1c level to 7.7%. Conclusions Although further evidence needs to be accumulated, including long-term outcomes, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy may provide an effective treatment for patients with morbid obesity and T1DM for body weight loss, improvement in HbA1c level, and insulin dose reduction.
