ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: There are no long-term results for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) from Turkey. OBJECTIVES: Assess the outcomes of LSG at 5 years. DESIGN: Retrospective. SETTING: Training and research hospital. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included patients with LSG performed from August 2012 to December 2013. The data was prospectively collected with the aim of providing 5-year outcomes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes in percentage excessive weight loss (%EWI) and BMI. Changes in the pharmacological treatment status of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. SAMPLE SIZE AND CHARACTERISTICS: 120 patients (89 female) completed follow up; mean age 37 years (range, 19-63 years), mean preoperative BMI 48.3 kg/m 2 (range 40-80.4 kg/m 2 ). RESULTS: After a mean 5.6-year follow-up, the mean (SD) postoperative weight loss was 43.5 (11.8) kg and the mean (SD) BMI loss was 16.1 (4.4). The mean %EWL value was 62.9% (range, 30-101%). Most patients (87.5%, n=105) achieved satisfactory %EWL values. The major complication rate was 6.6%. After surgery, 74.2% of patients taking medication for hypertension were able to stop treatment, while 12.9% reduced the dose, of patients that took medication for diabetes, all had a dosage reduction. CONCLUSIONS: We showed that LSG is an acceptable bariatric procedure, but in the long-term there may be weight gain and frequent reflux symptoms. We think renewed weight gain can be partially prevented by close clinical follow-up. There is a need for long-term randomized controlled studies with long-term follow-up to clearly define the indications for LSG. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective, incomplete clinical visits, GERD symptoms not objectively assessed. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None.

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.

Summary Introduction: Bariatric surgery has amply demonstrated its benefit in the treatment of morbidly obese patients. After surgery, there is a progressive and significant decrease in weight in a high percentage of patients. Most comorbidities resolve, improving quality of life and increasing life expectancy. Methods and Objective: The literature review is based on a 10-year or longer follow-up of patients who underwent various bariatric surgery procedures. The long-term weight loss results and the clinical impact were evaluated. Results: The applied surgical techniques, including Rouxen-Y gastric Bypass (RYBG), Biliopancreatic Diversion, Scopinaro type (BPD), and Duodenal Switch (DS), have contributed to achieving very satisfactory long-term and sustainable weight loss results. According to the reviewed literature, the percentage of excessive BMI Loss (%EBMIL) for the various techniques was 67.9%, 70.7%, and 71.5% for RYGB, BPD, and DS, respectively. Patients undergoing BGYR have lost much more weight than non-surgical patients and can maintain long-term weight loss, reaching a Percentage of Excessive Weight Loss (%EWL) as high as 56.4% in 10 years. Patients who underwent Adjustable Gastric Band (AGB) presented with a %EWL of 45.9% in 10 years, but with very high re-operation rate range (8-78%). There are few studies in the literature on Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, reporting weight loss results over ten years. According to the study carried out by Arman G. A., Himpens J., et al. isolated Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LGS) produced a satisfactory weight loss over ten years, reachingEBMIL of 62.5%. Amending LSG with a new surgical design with malabsorbtive component (in 25% of patients) increased the weight loss, achieving %EBMIL of 81.7%.The Vertical Band Gastroplasty technique resulted in EWL of 38.1 ± 28.8%, as shown by a mean follow-up of 17.3 years, with a high rate of re-operations and conversions.

Background and Aims: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has massively increased in numbers over the last decade and is the most frequently performed bariatric procedure worldwide today. The aim of this review is to evaluate SG in terms of weight loss and resolution of comorbidities, based on data gained from the latest long-term studies available. Material and Methods: This review includes the results of any long-term studies on SG available at this point as well as a selection of short- and mid-term studies. Results: There are only a handful of studies on sleeve gastrectomy with long-term follow-up available at this point. Conversion rates in these long-term studies amount to up to one-third of their cohorts; however, excess weight loss in patients maintaining their sleeve is over 50%. Results on the resolution of comorbidities vary among the studies available today. Summary: Sleeve gastrectomy is a valid bariatric method but one has to be aware of its limitations.

Background and aims. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is at present the most popular bariatric procedure due to its significant effect on weight loss, resolution of comorbidities and improvement in the quality of life. However, there are not many studies showing its medium and long term efficacy and safety in Eastern Europe. We aim to report the outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as a primary bariatric procedure from a single surgical department. Methods. This is a retrospective analysis of obese patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy between 2009 - 2016 in our department. Outcomes were analyzed in terms of weight loss, comorbidity resolution and quality of life changes. Results. A number of 70 patients were included in the study, with a mean age of 47.6 ± 9.8 years. Mean initial Body Mass Index was 47.4 ± 6.4 kg/m2. The mean percentage of excess weight loss during follow-up was 78.2% at 12 months, 80.2%, 76.7%, 74.7%, 72.8%, 73.3%, 74.1%, 67.2%, 64.07%, 69.7% at 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108 and 120 months, respectively. Weight regain occurred in 61 (87.1%) patients during the postoperative period. The mean weight regained was 8.1 ± 4.8 kg at 24 months postoperatively. Regarding the quality of life, 83% of patients declared an increase in self-esteem. Resolution of diabetes, arterial hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome occurred in 80%, 42.5% and 70.1% of patients respectively. Conclusions. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is an effective procedure, with good outcomes in the medium and long term, although a tendency for weight regain was noted after 2 years. Resolution of comorbidities is comparable with that reported in the literature, namely an improvement of the quality of life.
