Gastric Emptying Time after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Background : Bariatric surgery remains the only proven mechanism for inducing sustained and significant weight loss for morbidly obese patients. Glycemic control is better after the surgery. Changes in gastric emptying patterns which occurs in patients after surgical treatment may be contributing to weight loss and better glucose metabolism. The aim of the study is to see effect of Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on gastric emptying time. Methods: This was a prospective observational study. 24 patients were recruited who underwent LSG. The patients were submitted to the Gastric emptying study preoperatively and at 3 months after LSG. Gastric emptying time for solids was done. Results: At 3 months the Excess weight loss was 24 %. Five of the 7 patients with diabetes had complete resolution. There was a significant decrease in the mean T 1/2 of gastric empting at 3 months postoperatively (83.4 min vs 33.3 min). No correlation was found between Gastric emptying half time and %EWL at 3 months. Conclusion: Gastric emptying after LSG is accelerated in the majority of patients as shown by significantly reduced gastric emptying time. A faster gastric emptying could be one of the mechanisms contributing to weight loss after LSG
