Introduction: The prevalence of morbid obesity and its co-morbidities - first of all diabetes type 2 - increased dramatically in the last decades. As the conservative ways of treatment (diet, training, etc.) in most cases does not lead to effective and long term weight loss, there is an increasing need for the metabolic surgical interventions.
Method: During the last 6 and half years 514 laparoscopic RouxY gastric bypass (LRYGB) and 54 laparoscopic gastric sleeve resection (LGSR) were performed in our department. The data of random selected 40 patients after primary LRYGB and 15 patients after sleeve resection were collected. The applied criteria of the indication for surgery, the routine examinations and treatments before and after the intervention, the results and the type and the rate of the complications will be presented.
Results: According to our experience both procedures are long term effective for weight loss and for the resolution of co-morbidities, and can be performed with low risk of complications. After LRYGB more effective weight loss (extra weight loss 88% vs. 68%) and higher rate of resolution of diabetes type 2, hypertension and gastro-esophageal reflux were found compared to sleeve resection.
Conclusion: Based on our results we prefer LRYGB. Gastric sleeve resection is indicated by us, when there is no way - or only with high risk - to perform gastric bypass, taking into consideration of course the individual requirements of the patients.
