Comparison between Early Results of Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy regarding Weight Loss, Remission of Type II Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension
Abstract Background Bariatric Surgery leads to a dramatic improvement in morbid obesity and associated type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension. Objectives The aim of the study was to compare between early results of Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass and Sleeve gastrectomy regarding excess weight loss, remission of Type II diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Patients and Methods Type of the study, retrospective study. study setting, Our study was carried out at The General Surgery Department Ain Shams University Hospitals. study period,. All cases were operated during the period February and march 2019. Follow up of patients 6 months after operation was done (retrospective study). Last follow up was done on September 2019. The study included 50 patients aged 18-60 years with Type II Diabetes Mellitus and hypertension of at least 6 months duration, BMI 35 65 kg/m2 for at least 5 years. Results In this study There was no statistical significant difference between studied groups as regard age,gender,and baseline clinical data. there was a statistical significant difference between patients in LMGB group as well as between patients in LGS group before and six months after surgery as regard weight in kg, BMI and HbA1C and.remission of hypertention (P value 0.000). there was high statistical significant difference between studied groups as regard percentage of change of weight and BMI(P value 0.000) However, there was no statistical significant difference between studied groups as regard percent of change of HbA1C. (P value 0.613),remission of T2DM.(p value 0.123 ) and control of hypertension. (p value 0.136 ). Further results and data could be reached on long-term follow up of patients involved in this study. Conclusion Patients receiving mini-gastric bypass had more advantageous indexes than patients receiving sleeve gastrectomy, such as higher six months EWL% (excess weight loss), higher T2DM remission rate and higher hypertension remission rate. Especially on long term follow up and that was proved by meta analysis of previous studies but on short term follow up there is no statistical singnificant difference between both studied groups except in percentage of change of weight and BMI. Mini-gastric bypass is simple, safe and more effective bariatric procedure than laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
