Abstract
Background Although the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) have been demonstrated, there is still debate about the best surgical method, with the resection distance from pylorus (DP) being among the most contentious topics. In patients who had LSG for morbid obesity, the effect of the resection distance from the pylorus on the management of type II diabetes mellitus during the postoperative phase was examined. Patients and methods After receiving each patient’s agreement, a total of 46 obese individuals were enrolled. Patients were prospectively randomized into two groups, group A (‘AP group’) and group B (‘AR group’), based on the distance between the initial reload firing and the pylorus (4 cm for group A and 2 cm for group B, respectively). Blood sugar levels were measured three, six months, and one year following LSG. After a year of follow-up, the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) was calculated. Results Postoperative weight was statistically significant lower and EWL% was statistically significant higher in group B: LSG ‘2 cm’ compared to group A: LSG ‘4 cm’. As regard outcomes of type 2 diabetes mellitus after LSG, in spite of nonsignificant statistical value, we reported that there was higher frequency of complete remission after 3, 6 and 12 months in group B: LSG ‘2 cm’ compared to group A: LSG ‘4 cm’ and cases with complete remission were associated with significant higher EWL%. Conclusion Patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy are recommended to have shorter resection distance from pylorus (DP) done. It has been linked to superior surgical results, weight reduction, and diabetes mellitus management with no problems recorded.
