Objective. This prospective study evaluated laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for its safety and efficiency in excess weight loss (%EWL) in super superobese patients (BMI>60 Kg/m2).Results. Thirty patients (33 women and 7 men) were included, with mean age of 35 years (range 18 to 59). Mean preoperative BMI was 66 Kg/m2(range 60 to 85). The study included one patient with complete situs inversus and 4 (14%) with previous restrictive gastric banding. The mean operative time was 120 minutes (range 80 to 220 min) and the mean hospital stay was 7.5 days (4 to 28 days). There was no postoperative mortality or need for a laparotomy conversion. Two subphrenic hematomas, one gastric fistula, and one pulmonary embolism, were the major complications. After 18 months 17 (77%) had sufficient weight loss and six had insufficient results, leading to either re-sleeve gastrectomy (3), or gastric bypass (2). Three years after the initial laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, the mean EWL was 51% (range 21 to 82).Conclusion. The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a safe and efficient operating procedure for treating super superobesity. In the case of insufficient weight loss, a second-stage operation like resleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass can be proposed.

Introduction: Laparoscopic gastric plication (LGP) is a relatively new restrictive bariatric procedure that emerged to avoid the problems and to reduce the cost of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. In this study we present the initial short-term outcome of LGP and its effect on gastric emptying and compare it with the results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Methods: From May 2016 to April 2017, a total of 50 patients were allocated to undergo either LGP (n = 25) or LSG (n = 25). Data on the operative time, complications, hospital stay, overall cost of LSG and LGCP, body mass index loss (BMIL), post-operative gastric emptying (the first study to asses gastric emptying after LGP), percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), and improvement of comorbidities were collected during the follow-up examinations. Results: All procedures were completed laparoscopically. The mean operative time was significantly higher for the LGP group. The mean hospital stay, cost and %EWL were significantly higher in the LSG group. The mean gastric emptying t1/2 was 40 ± 13 minutes for LGP group and 28.3 ± 8.31 minutes for LSG group (P = 0.001). Conclusion: There is significant acceleration of gastric emptying after LSG more than after LGP with significant effect on weight loss.

Background. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is one of the most widely used bariatric procedures today, and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) as a single-stage procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity is becoming increasingly popular in Europe. The aim of this study was to compare short- and midterm results between LRYGB and LSG.Methods. An observational retrospective study from a database of patients undergoing LRYGB and LSG between January 2008 and June 2011. Seventy patients (mean age 39 years) were included. Patients were followed at 6, 12, and 18 months. Operative time, length of stay, weight loss, comorbidity improvement or resolution, postoperative complications, reinterventions and mortality were evaluated.Results. Thirty-six LRYGB and 34 LSG were included. Mean operative time of LSG was 106 min while LRYGB was 196 min (). Differences in length of stay, early and late complications, and improvement or resolution in comorbidities were not significant (). Eighteen months after surgery, average excess weight loss was 77.6% in LRYGB and 57.1% in LSG (). There was no surgery-related mortality.Conclusions. Both LRYGB and LSG are safe procedures that provide good results in weight loss and resolution of comorbidities at 18 months.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has gained support as a single-staged and stand-alone bariatric procedure. Reports of excess weight loss of 35 to 83 per cent, reduction in comorbidities, and decreased operative morbidity have garnered support for LSG. This study represents an initial outcome analysis of LSG performed solely at a military treatment center. This study is a retrospective analysis of all patients receiving LSG at Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center from September 2007 to December 2009. The patients were planned for a stand-alone procedure. One hundred and fifteen patients received LSG over this time period with a mean body mass index of 45.5 ± 6.2 (range 35.1-58.3). The average age was 47.4 ± 12.5 years. Diabetes mellitus was seen in 47 per cent and 68 per cent of patients had hypertension. The mean and median length of operation was 124 ± 48 and 115.5 minutes. The mean percentage of excess weight loss was 16.6 ± 6.40 per cent at 1 month, 31.5 ± 7.6 per cent at 3 months, 41.2 ± 13.9 per cent at 6 months, and 53.7 ± 12.5 per cent at 1 year from surgery. One or more of patient's preoperative diabetic or hypertensive medications were improved postoperatively in 18.7 per cent and 16.3 per cent, respectively. Incidence of major complications occurred in 4.35 per cent of patients in this study to include four leaks (3.4%), one death (0.87%), and 10 readmissions. Midterm analysis of outcomes related to LSG as a single-stage bariatric procedure is promising as long-term outcome data is collected; the efficacy of this procedure as a sole bariatric procedure will continue to be borne out.

Abstract Background Obesity is caused by a combination of excessive food energy intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications, or psychiatric illness. The main aim of obesity therapy is weight loss and maintenance by dietary interventions and increased physical activity. Aim of the Work to review two of the most commonly performed modalities of weight loss namely Sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Bypass, and to study their early post-operative complications, outcomes, effects regarding excess body weight loss (EBWL), life style changes and sustainability. Patients and Methods This is a prospective comparative randomize study included 40 patients presented with morbid obesity with BMI range between (40 to 60 kg/m2) were treated 20 cases by laparoscopic sleeve Gastrectomy and 20 cases by laparoscopic Gastric Bypass (15 cases one anastomosis gastric bypass – 5 cases Roux-en-Y bypass) in Ain Shams Hospital during the period from October 2017 till May 2018. Cases were followed up monthly for 6 months and after 1 year. Results Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has higher incidence of complications (15%) than the incidence of complications of Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass (5%). Conclusion Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass are both safe and effective procedures for the surgical management of morbid obesity. Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass has slightly higher mean of (EBWL%) than Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at 6 months, and a higher mean of (EBWL%) than Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at 1 year follow up.
