Background
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a common bariatric procedure that has several
advantages over Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, but data on the effectiveness of this procedure
on metabolic syndrome have rarely been reported.
Methods
This case control study compared the incidence of low grade systemic inflammation,
insulin resistance, anthropometrics, lipid disturbances, and metabolic syndrome in
12 patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) and 10 patients
undergoing LSG, matched for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and HbA1c.
Results
At 6 months after surgery, there was no significant difference in any of the parameters
investigated. Metabolic syndrome improved in all five patients undergoing LRYGBP and
in 4 out of 6 patients undergoing LSG (ns). At 1 year after surgery, patients in the
LRYGBP group had a significantly lower BMI (32.6 ± 5.1 vs 36.5 ± 2.5 kg/m2; P < .05) and percent of excess BMI lost (70.1 ± 20.5 vs 55.3 ± 12.8; P < .05), and had significantly lower plasma levels of C-reactive protein (2.3 ± 1.5
vs 5.1 ± 4.6 mg/L; P < .05), total cholesterol (4.7 ± 1 vs 5.6 ± 0.3 mmol/L; P < .001) and LDL cholesterol (2.7 ± 0.7 vs 3.7 ± 0.3 mmol/L; P < .001). Remission of metabolic syndrome was significantly less common after LSG
at 1 year than LRYGBP (3 vs 0 patients; P < .05).
Conclusion
In this limited study patients undergoing LRYGBP demonstrated significantly lower
BMIs, improved lipid profiles, decreased systemic low-grade inflammation and less
metabolic syndrome than those with LSG at 1-year follow-up.
