Comparison of short-term outcome of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass in the treatment of morbid obesity: A prospective randomized controlled multicenter SLEEVEPASS study with 6-month follow-up

Introduction. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) represents a valid option for morbid obesity, either as a primary or as a staged procedure. The aim of this paper is to report the experience of a single surgeon with LSG as a standalone operation for morbid obesity.Methods. From April 2006 to April 2011, 200 patients underwent LSG for morbid obesity. Each patient record was registered and prospectively collected. In July 2011, a retrospective analysis was conducted.Results. Patients were 128 females and 72 males with a median age of 40.0 years. Median pre-operative BMI was 49.4 kg/m2. Median follow-up was 27.2 months. Median post-operative BMI was 30.4 kg/m2. Median %excess weight loss (%EWL) was 63.6%. Median post-operative hospital stay was 4.0 days in the first 84 cases and 3.0 days in the last 116 cases. Six major post-operative complications occurred (3%): two gastric stump leaks (1%), three major bleedings (1.5%) and 1 (0.5%) bowel obstruction. One case of mortality was registered (0.5%). To date only 4 patients are still in the range of morbid obesity (BMI > 35 kg/m2).Conclusions. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a formidable operation in the short-term period. Median %EWL in this series was 63.6% at 27.2 months follow-up.

Abstract Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) was recently described as an effective approach for the operative treatment of obesity, but the ideal procedure remains controversial. One of the most debated issues is the resection distance from the pylorus (DP). We conducted this study to elucidate any potential difference in the short-term outcome between 2 cm and 6 cm DP in LSG.Methods: This was an interventional, prospective, randomized study aimed at assessing the effect of the resection DP on the weight loss outcome as expressed by the excess weight loss percentage (%EWL) after LSG carried out from January 2018 to March 2020 in 96 patients with morbid obesity who had LSG performed at the Surgical Department, Suez Canal University. The patients were randomly separated into two equal groups; Group 1 (48 patients) underwent LSG with a 2 cm DP resection distance and Group 2 (48 patients) underwent LSG with a 6 cm DP resection distance. Body weight, body mass index, bariatric quality of life, lipid profile, and comorbidities were evaluated pre- and postoperatively for a duration of 12 months.Results: Statistically, there was no significant difference between the two study groups regarding the %EWL, comorbidity resolution throughout the postoperative follow-up, enhancement of the quality of life score throughout the postoperative follow-up, or incidence of complications (25% in Group 1 vs. 25% in Group 2, p > 0.05).Conclusion: LSG was an effective and safe management for morbid obesity and obesity-related comorbidities with significant short-term weight loss; it also improved weight-related quality of life and had an acceptable complication rate. The DP resection distance did not affect the short-term effects of LSG with regard to %EWL, resolution of comorbidities, change in quality of life, and occurrence of complications.
