Abstract:
Objective
To evaluate the short-term effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on obesity patients.
Methods
19 obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in Qujing Second People’s Hospital during January 2013 to June 2014 were included, and their clinical data before and after surgery were analyzed retrospectively.
Results
All the operations were completed under laparoscopic and no severe post-procedure complications occurred. During 6 months of follow-up,all the patients’weight, waist circumference and body mass index (BMI) decreased, compared with those before operation (P<0.01). The excess weight loss% at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after procedures was (32±11)%, (51±15)% and(65±22)% respectively. 6 months after procedures, the triglyceride, low density lipoprotein and obesityrelated complications, such as hypertension, fatty liver, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome symptomatically improved in some degree respectively.
Conclusions
LSG may result in satisfactory weight loss with few complications. A longer follow-up period is needed.
