Sleeve gastrectomy and type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for obesity: can it be considered a definitive procedure?

“…In our series, resolution rate for diabetes was 33%, whereas in 51% of patients, improvement without complete resolution was seen. Gill et al [27] recently published a systematic review of the literature on LSG and its effect on DM. Overall, DM resolution was seen in 66.2% and improvement in 26.9%.…”

Randomized Clinical Trial of Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Versus Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy for the Management of Patients with BMI < 50 kg/m2

“…While this is unquestionable for LRYGB [22], studies have also shown a high rate of diabetes resolution after LSG [29][30][31][32]. Changes in GI hormones have been proposed to contribute to the early restoration of euglycemia after both RYGBP and LSG [33,34], and short-term hormone-mediated improvement of glucose homeostasis has been demonstrated after both procedures [7].…”

Effects of sleeve gastrectomy and gastric banding on the hypothalamic feeding center in an obese rat model

“…Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a typical restrictive bariatric procedure that has been proven to be effective in treating morbid obesity in the clinical setting [1,2]. This procedure causes rapid and extensive weight loss by decreasing the gastric volume and ghrelin level, shortening the gastrointestinal transit time and improving glucose metabolism [3].…”
