Results of Sleeve Gastrectomy—Data from a Nationwide Survey on Bariatric Surgery in Germany

Abstract

The complication rate during the first 2 years after SG in Germany is similar to that published in the literature. In order to improve the quality of bariatric surgery, an evaluation of data from a German multicenter trial is necessary to evaluate the position of SG in the bariatric algorithm.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: Technique and results

“…[12] A prospective study by Basso et al compared results of LSG (200 patients) and BPD-DS (100 patients). [25] OSAS was present in 19% and 29% of the patients in LSG and BPD-DS groups, respectively. In this study, resolution rate of OSAS was identified in each group after one-year follow-up (56% and 50%, respectively).…”

“…[23,25,34] The mean %EWL ranged from 43% at 84 months after surgery in the study by Eid et al to 69% at >96 months after surgery in the study from Sarela et al, but two studies had very small number of patients. [13,38,39] Boza et al reported long-term outcomes after LSG when performed as a primary bariatric procedure.…”

[11,34] The other important point to the weight loss outcome after LSG might be the changes in the plasma levels of ghrelin.…”

“…[13,38,39] Boza et al reported long-term outcomes after LSG when performed as a primary bariatric procedure. [25] They described surgical success as EWL% > 50% and remission of co-morbidities without any medication at fifth year. In this study, mean preoperative BMI of one hundred and sixty-one patients was 34.9 kg/m 2 , 70% of the patients completed 5 years follow-up period and the mean of BMI at the postoperative fifth year was 28.5 kg/m 2 .…”

“…[25] In a prospective review published by Yang et al, 48% of the patients had resolution in dyslipidemia and 52% of the patients were cured from obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS). [12] A prospective study by Basso et al compared results of LSG (200 patients) and BPD-DS (100 patients).…”
