Trial summary

Obesity is a chronic disease and its treatment requires close follow-up to accurately assess the efficacy and durability of any treatment strategy. It is widely accepted that bariatric surgery patients require lifetime follow-up to assess for weight loss, co-morbidity changes, and nutritional deficiencies. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Decade of Sleeve Gastrectomy as a Single Bariatric/Metabolic Procedure: Analysis of Short and Long-term Outcome of 562 Patients

Obesity is a chronic disease and its treatment requires close follow-up to accurately assess the efficacy and durability of any treatment strategy. It is widely accepted that bariatric surgery patients require lifetime follow-up to assess for weight loss, co-morbidity changes, and nutritional deficiencies.

The study objective was to ascertain efficacy of weight loss and complication rates in 562 consecutive cases of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in a single surgeon practice.

Read the detailed description

Obesity is a major healthcare problem reaching epidemic proportion and affecting people of all age (1). The only treatment that proven effective option for a significant substantial long-term weight loss and that cures or durably improves comorbidities is still bariatric surgery (2, 3). Because obesity is a chronic disease, it is widely accepted that to accurately assess the efficacy and durability of any type of bariatric surgery requires lifetime follow-up to assess for weight loss, co-morbidity changes, and nutritional deficiencies.

Despite initially performed as a first part of the staged procedures, the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has since introduced as a stand-alone bariatric operation associated with good, short and mid-term weight loss and satisfactory complication rates when conducted in experienced hands. Although simplicity and the overall efficacy of the procedure supported by meta-analysis and systematic review (4, 5), there are still limited long-term outcome data (6). Due to publication bias or multiple controversies regarding the technique of LSG, some of the available data may have underreported which has also been resulted in questioning the long-term weight loss efficacy of the procedure.

Although addressed by a recent consensus document,12 there are multiple controversies regarding the technique of LSG, and this may in part be what has led to the variable published results.

The study objective was to assess the long-term (≥ 5 years) as well as short (1 to ≤ 3 years) and mid-term (> 3 to < 5 years) results in regard to the BMI change, resolution of co-morbidities and complications in 562 consecutive morbidly obese patients undergoing LSG as a primary procedure.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomyProcedure or surgery

    Special care was given to the complete mobilization of the gastric fundus, with meticulous dissection of the posterior gastric wall from the left pillar. A 36-Fr calibration bougie was used. Resection started 2 to 6 cm from pylorus, and it was conducted upward to 1.5 cm from the angle of His, to avoid the "critical area." A gastric remnant of 60-80 mL volume (measured by administering methylene blue saline solution via nasogastric tube) was obtained.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent excess body mass index loss (%EBMIL)

    calculated using formula: %EBMIL = [∆BMI / (initial BMI - 25)] x 100

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

    Definitions of glycemic outcomes after sleeve gastrectomy

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. change on lipid profile

    Change on lipid profile before and after bariatric surgery was reported according to the Adult Treatment Panel III Guidelines, 2001, of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute as follows: no change, improvement in dislipidemia (defined as decrease in number or dose of lipid-lowering agents with equivalent control of dyslipidemia or improved control of lipids on equivalent medication) and remission (defined as normal lipid panel off medication).

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. percent of complications

    Complications were evaluated under two headings. Major complications were defined as any complication that resulted in a prolonged hospital stay (beyond 7 days), reintervention, or reoperation. Minor complications were included everything else that is not included under major. They were further categorized as early if observed in 30 days or late if beyond 30 days.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Morbid Obesity and Obesity, run by Medical Park Gaziantep Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent excess body mass index loss (%EBMIL) (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Oct 2016.
