Clinical Efficacy Of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy For Obesity

Objective: To investigate the short-term effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(LSG)for the treatment of obesity.Methods: Retrospective analysis was carried out in 18 patients who underwent LSG in our department from January 2013 to December 2014.The body weight and BMI were obtained before and after surgery;the excess weight loss(EWL%)was calculated,and the blood gulcose of pathoglycemia patients were tested.Statistic analyses were performed by SPSS software(version 22.0).Results: The procedure was completed under laparoscopy without conversion to laparotomy.There were no serious complications except one patient developed a gastric fistula and abdominal infection.The mean body weight and BMI declined significantly one year after LSG(P<0.05),13 patients achieved excellent outcomes,and the others were of better results.Five of 7 pathoglycemia patients obtained complete remission,and the other 2 got partial remission.Conclusions: LSG is safe and effective surgical approach to the treatment of obesity and can prominently alleviate or even cure the metabolic disease caused by obesity.
