This clinical report describes a combined lateral-crestal approach to elevate the sinus floor when placing implants on a wide maxillary posterior ridge. The buccally enlarged osteotomy broadens vision of practitioners and facilitates access of instruments in the sinus. Compared to the traditional lateral approach of sinus lift, the proposed technique may offer a more conservative treatment modality. And a clinical study with sufficient subjects and long term follow up is needed to validate the potential and limitations of the proposed technique.

Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term (5-year follow-up) results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in terms of weight loss and obesity-related comorbidities, as well as the risk factors associated with postoperative nutritional deficiencies. Material and Methods: The first 99 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for the treatment of morbid obesity between October 2008 and August 2011 at Tartu University Hospital were followed prospectively in cohort study. The outpatient hospital follow-up visits were conducted at 3 months, 1 year, and 5 years postoperatively. At 5 years, the follow-up rate was 90.9%; 86 laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy patients were included in final analysis. Results: The mean excess weight loss (%EWL) was 44.3% ± 13.0%, 75.8% ± 23.1%, and 61.0% ± 24.3% at 3 months, 1 year, and 5 years, respectively. A linear association between preoperative weight and weight at 5 years was found. Remission rates at 5-year follow-up for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea were 68.8%, 32.7%, 27.4%, and 61.5%, respectively (all p < 0.05). There was a statistical difference (p < 0.05) in the dynamics of triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein level at 5-year follow-up but the level of total cholesterol did not show significant improvement. The risk for cumulative iron, vitamin B12 deficiency, and anemia was 20%, 48%, and 28%, respectively. Conclusion: In conclusion, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy ensured long-term excess weight loss 61.0% at 5 years. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has a long-term effect on significant improvement in the median values of triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins, and high-density lipoproteins, but not on total cholesterol levels. There is a risk of postoperative vitamin B12 and iron deficiency.
