ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Prevalence of obesity is increasing steadily. It exposes the patient to numerous complications and represents a serious public health issue. Various treatments were tried. Surgery is actually a credible alternative. Many techniques can be made by laparoscopic approach.AIM:
To evaluate early and late results of laparoscopic treatment of morbid obesity by two techniques gastric banding adjustable and gastric by-pass.METHODS:
From May 2001 to July 2007, 27 patients were laparoscopically operated on for severe obesity in our department. Twenty four patients were treated with a gastric banding and 3 patients with gastric bypass. The primary endpoint was excessive weight loss (EWL), BMI variations and patients' satisfaction. The secondary endpoints were mortality, morbidity and conversion.RESULTS:
The mean age was 36 years. There were 4 males and 23 females. The mean preoperative weight was 122.4 kg (range 87-152) and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 42,5 kg/m2 (range 36.5-52 kg/m2). The mean operating time was 129 minutes (range 50-300). The mean hospital stay was 4.76 days (range 3-8). There were no postoperative deaths. Early complication was present in 3 patients. Late complications were present in one patient. No conversion to laparotomy was necessary. BMI decreased from 42.9 to 31 kg/m2 and EWL reached 43%;CONCLUSION:
The results of our experience are encouraging with an acceptable complication rate and no death. Laparoscopic treatment can be done with good results.
