Abstract

Abstract Background In our opinion, the most important criteria in the selection of a bariatric procedure remain the safety and efficacy in achieving both weight loss and remission of the metabolic consequences of obesity. Despite the intrinsic limitation imposed by a retrospective study, our results seem to confirm that LMGB is both safe and effective for the treatment of morbidly obese diabetic patients. Laparoscopic SASI bypass has been shown to be an effective, safe, and simple procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity and its associated metabolic consequences. Moreover, it results in minimal postoperative nutritional complications in comparison to other bariatric procedures. However, long-term follow-up period should be performed to evaluate postoperative weight loss, metabolic changes, and nutritional status of patients. Objective To compare Laparoscopic Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal (SASI) Bypass with Minigastric bypass (MGB/OAGB) in controlling type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in morbidly obese patients. Patients and Methods This study is a retrospective comparative study in which morbidly obese Patients with type 2 DM who underwent either Mini-gastric bypass or Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal (SASI) bypass with available preoperative Fasting blood Glucose, Hemoglobin A1c& serum cpeptide (As predictive measures for remission of diabetes after surgery) was collected & their data and results was compared to this1,3, 6 & 12 months postoperatively. Results As regard glycemic and lipid profile pre and postoperative mean values in MGB group, the present study showed that there were significant differences between before and after surgery as regard FBG, HbA1C, triglyceride, cholesterol, HDL and LDL. Laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass (MGB) is a technically simple and safe procedure in SSO patients. LMGB has the advantages of being a single stage procedure, being easily reversible and revisable in a laparoscopic procedure and does not sacrifice portions of the stomach or implant foreign materials. SASI bypass is a promising operation that offers excellent weight loss and metabolic result. The elimination of two ways for passage of food and one anastomosis decrease nutritional deficiency and the possibility of surgically related complications. Conclusion Metabolic surgery is a safe option for carefully selected patients with metabolic syndrome. The increased risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease demands therapeutic attention for those at high risk. Our study suggests that both SASI and MGB are highly effective in controlling Diabetes mellitus, Hypertension and Hyperlipidemia.
