The Result of Different Kinds of Weight Loss Surgeries in Obese Patients at Kirkuk City

Abstract

Objective: Our study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of obese patients undergoing weight loss surgeries in Kirkuk City. Background: We can define Obesity as a common factor in the contemporary world. Obesity is a major factor in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and renal disease. It was also linked to various comorbidities. Weight loss surgery has beneficial effects on both Obesity and comorbidities. Patients and methods: This paper examines weight loss surgeries for obese patients using data collected from Baghdad, Iraq, between 16 January 2019 and 15 December 2022. By studying the outcomes of 122 patients, including 89 women (73%) and 33 men (27%), we developed the methodology to assess outcomes; each patient underwent one of several weight-reduction procedures. Results and discussion: Obesity is a severe health problem, and according to Epidemiological studies, Obesity affects approximately 400 million people worldwide. Females outnumbered males in all categories, possibly because women are more susceptible to psychological difficulties and more concerned about the aesthetic implications of Obesity. As a result, our study detected that women have more Obesity than males, where women were 89 and males had 33 cases of 122. Laparoscopic sleeve surgery is considered the most common surgery in the world (LGS), which is well-established in the treatment of morbid Obesity and has a significant impact on weight loss and the risk of comorbidities. This technique resulted in significant weight reduction. Previous studies indicated that having a high BMI increases the risk of operational mortality and complications. Due to that, the Ur study found that laparoscopic gastric sleeve (LGS) got the most cases with 75 of 122 patients. Also, our outcomes found that infections were the highest score of 11 patients who had complications, where there may be an increased risk of site infections. Conclusion: A range of weight loss procedures was employed in Kirkuk City to address morbid Obesity, with all procedures resulting in successful weight loss outcomes. However, LMGB patients showed the most significant benefits.
