OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the importance of treatment of deformities caused by massive localized lymphedema (MLL) in the severely obese. METHODS: in a period of seven years, nine patients with morbid obesity and a mean age of 33 years underwent surgical resection of massive localized lymphedema with primary synthesis. This is a retrospective study on the surgical technique, complication rates and improved quality of life. RESULTS: all patients reported significant improvement after surgery, with greater range of motion, ambulation with ease and more effective hygiene. Histological analysis demonstrated the existence of a chronic inflammatory process marked by lymphomonocitary infiltrate and severe tissue edema. We observed foci of necrosis, formation of microabscesses, points of suppuration and local fibrosis organization, and pachydermia. The lymphatic vessels and some blood capillaries were increased, depicting a framework of linfangiectasias. CONCLUSION: surgical treatment of MLL proved to be important for improving patients' quality of life, functionally rehabilitating them and optimizing multidisciplinary follow-up of morbid obesity, with satisfactory surgical results and acceptable complication rates, demonstrating the importance of treatment and awareness about the disease.

The Impact

The rapid progress of obesity surgery dictates the necessity to study the quality of life of patients after bariatric procedures. The aim of the study is to assess the dynamics of quality of life of patients with morbid obesity after biliopancreatic diversion in the modification of Hess-Marceau and the sleeve gastrectomy in order to improve the results of surgical treatment of the specified category of patients. The results of surgical treatment of 205 patients with morbid obesity who performed sleeve gastrectomy (main group — 105 patients) or biliopancreatic diversion by Hess-Marceau (comparison group — 100 patients) were analyzed. The study of the dynamics of quality of life of patients was performed in according the Moorehead-Ardelt II method. Statistical data processing was performed using the methods of variational and descriptive statistic using Statistica 6.0 statistical analysis package. Installed that biliopancreatic diversion by Hess-Marceau and sleeve gastrectomy allowed to significantly improve the quality of life of patients with an increase of the quality of life index with -1.5±0.7 in the comparison group and -1.6±0,6 in the main group up to 1.8±0.3 and 2.0±0.4 respectively (p<0.05 compared to pre-operative data) 60 months after surgery. A more pronounced positive dynamics of quality of life in patients of the main group in the time interval of 12–24 months after the operation was achieved due to the absence of severe late metabolic complications and undesirable side effects of biliopancreatic diversion and laparoscopic access for sleeve gastrectomy in 54.3% of patients. Thus, the quality of life of patients with morbid obesity before performing bariatric surgery is critically low and significantly improved after biliopancreatic diversion by Hess-Marceau as well as sleeve gastrectomy. The impact of bariatric surgery on the duration and quality of life of patients requires further multicenter randomized trials.

Abstract Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is prevalent in patients with morbid obesity. After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) chronic abdominal pain is common, however the etiology is largely unknown. We aimed to study the change in the prevalence of IBS-like symptoms 2 years after RYGB and possible preoperative predictors of such symptoms. Secondly, to evaluate changes in symptoms of constipation and diarrhea, and Health related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods Patients with morbid obesity were included at two obesity centers in South-Eastern Norway. IBS was diagnosed according to the Rome III criteria. Predictors were evaluated in a multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results Of 307 participants operated with RYGB, 233 (76%) completed the study questionnaires. Preoperatively 27/233 participants (12%) had IBS, 2 years after RYGB 61/233 (26%) had IBS-like symptoms (p < 0.001). Eleven participants with IBS preoperatively (41%) did not report such symptoms after RYGB. New onset IBS-like symptoms was identified in 45/206 (22%) after RYGB. Fibromyalgia, low LDL levels, high vitamin B1 levels and IBS before RYGB were independent preoperative predictors of IBS-like symptoms at the follow-up visit. Symptom scores for constipation preoperatively and 2 year after RYGB were 1.5 (0.9) and 1.8 (1.2), and for diarrhea 1.4 (0.9) and 1.8 (1.1), respectively (p < 0.001). We observed a significant improvement in the physical component score for all participants. However, participants with new onset IBS-like symptoms had a significant worsening of the mental component score. Conclusions The prevalence of IBS-like symptoms doubled 2 years after RYGB, and these symptoms were associated with reduced HRQoL. Preoperative IBS and fibromyalgia were strong predictors of postoperative IBS-like symptoms.
