1 Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Teresa LaMasters MD, FACS Minimally Invasive Bariatric Surgeon Iowa Health Weight Loss Specialists Throckmorton Surgical Society May 4, 2012 Objectives Understand the anatomy of the sleeve gastrectomy t Understand the metabolic effects of weight loss surgery Understand the potential complications 1

2 Epidemic Obesity 68% Americans are overweight or obese! 12million Americans aremorbidly obese (Atleast 100 lbs. overweight) 15 million Americans with BMI , ,000 new morbidly obese patients yearly (Bariatric surgery 240,000/year) Mortality 300,000 deaths/year are obesity related Morbid obesity decreases life expectancy by 5 15 years Looking for a better mousetrap Best weight loss with fewest complications and long term durabilty Bariatrics is in a rapid state of change as we build on knowledge gained over 50 years An additional tool to treat the disease of obesity 2

3 Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Creation of a small tubularized stomach based on the lesser curvature with removal of the remaining stomach remnant. Division begins 5 6 cm from the pylorus and extends up to the angle of His. About 75% of the volume of stomach is removed. Remaining remnant based on lesser curvature to prevent stretching. No bypass of bowel, no anastamosis Restrictive Procedure More recently noted to be a metabolic procedure History Procedure initially described 1988 by Hess and Marceau during duodenal switch and 1993 by Johnston in an isolated form Further development of the VBG (44 69%) and Magenstrasse and Mill (EWL 58% at 1 yr) 3

4 Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Later in 1995 described as staging procedure to LRYGB or DS in high BMI and high risk pts esp in pts with BMI >60 Some of patients with original sleeve did not want to complete second stage. Weight loss 40 60% EWL. Some weight regain after 5 years. Initial sleeve size based on 60F bougie or larger Procedure was then modified to become a stand alone procedure about 2002, more accepted around 2004 Currently increase use as a primary procedure for obesity How does it work? Physiology Restrictive procedure without malabsorption; hormonal component The fundus is removed with most of the ghrelin producing cells Ghrelin cells causing hunger 4

5 Physiology Effects on incretins, GLP 1 This leads to a similar effect to the gastric bypass in decrease in hunger and craving for sweets with %EWL falling in between the RYGB and the LAGB Similar cure of diabetes Hormone Impacts Ghrelin Hunger GLP 1 Satiety PYY satiety PP satiety Insulin Control LRYGB Sleeve LRYGB Sleeve LRYGB Sleeve LRYGB Sleeve 3 mon 12 mon Sleeve is more than a restrictive technique. Similar changes in intestinal hormones. Ramon et al. Effect of Roux en Y Gastric Bypass vs Sleeve Gastrectomy on Glucose and Gut Hormones: a Prospective Randomized Trial. J Gastrointest Surg

6 Physiology Decreased intrinsic factor and some patients can develop deficiency dfii of Vit B12 or Iron. Suggested faster rate of gastric emptying Potentially less change in absorption of medications?? RCT trials 66 76% EWL 6

20 Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Advantages Better weight loss than Band fewer complications than Bypass Decreased long term complications of other existing procedures Bowel obstruction/no risk of internal hernia Decreased parietal cell mass of remaining stomach and no G J anastomosis, better blood supply lower risk of marginal ulcers Less malabsorption Less risk of major vitamin deficiencies No foreign body/device and No adjustments band dysfunction Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Advantages Excellent cure of weight related diseases, especially metabolic syndrome Can be used for patients with contra indications to band (i.e.. lupus), or high risk patients (i.e.. Patients with BMI too high to perform LRYGB safely), appears to have increased gastric emptying py so may be useful in patients with gastroparesis. Technically easier to perform than bypass Can be converted to RYGB if desired or necessary 20

21 Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Disadvantages Not Reversible Newer procedure limited data Total data 15 years current form about 8 years Unclear possibility of weight regain Some early complications can be difficult to manage Not always well covered by insurance Summary Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is a simple procedure, but it is not easy It is non reversible so extra care to reduce/ eliminate complications Very good results Lower risk of long term complications Based on the current published literature, SG has a risk/benefit profile that lies between the laparoscopic p adjustable gastric band and the laparoscopic Roux en Y gastric bypass. Increasing in popularity 21
