Efecto selectivo de bypass gástrico laparoscópico en Y de Roux sobre el metabolismo lipídico

Abstract

Bariatric surgery (BS) has shown to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in obesity. The BS has improved the dyslipidemia of the insulin resistant patient, our objective was to evaluate if there was a difference in the lipid profile between the laparoscopic roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) technique vs. the sleeve gastrectomy (SG) technique at 18 months of follow-up.An observational, open, prospective study of morbidly obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery at 18-month follow-up. Anthropometric analysis, body composition, energy expenditure at rest, glucose, insulin, HbA1c, LDL, HDL, TG and CT were performed.Absence baseline differences were found in the proportion of patients with hypertension, diabetes, steatosis, and sex between the RYGB vs SG groups. A reduction of TG was observed at 6 months in favor of RYGB vs SG: 108.60±34.86 vs. 124.59±44.58, P = 0.044), however, a decrease in both LDL levels was found at 12 and 18 months in favor of the RYGB vs. SG group: 96.23±24.33 vs. 107.83±28.88, P = 0.025; 90.98±20.62 vs 106.22±31.48, P = 0.003; the decrease in CT was observed only at 18 months in favor of the RYGB vs. SG group: 171.39±25.058 vs. 186.89±31.81, P = 0.005. CONCLUSIóN: RYBG has shown to be more effective in reducing LDL and CT levels compared to SG, which provides an additional benefit of RYGB in relation to the lipid profile of the patient.
