Background
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a silent epidemic that is a major global public health concern. Bariatric surgery is an approved treatment for obesity where weight reduction is crucial for the control of metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to report our institutional experience in the effect of single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) on metabolic syndrome.
Patients and methods
The current prospective study included 50 Morbid Obese Patients with MetS who were eligible for SASI. Follow-up was planned for 1 year.
Results
The mean age of patients was 41.56±6.32 years. The mean % EWL was 56.94±4.65 and 83.16±8.09 at 6 and 12 months, respectively. HbA1c showed significant improvement which decreased from 8.34±1.23 to 5.04±0.38 after 1 year follow-up. Triglycerides (mg/dl) and LDL-C (mg/dl) show significant reduction at 6 months and 1 year postoperative from 177.48±30.95 preoperative to 131.98±17.65 and 104.10±14.03 for Triglycerides, and from 180.76±21.04 preoperative to 104.64±7.13 and 77.56±8.93 for low density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C) (<0.001). HDL-C (mg/dl) showed a significant increase from 40.44±10.93 preoperative to 49.58±8.71 and 57.96±6.64 (<0.001). As regards the blood pressure; mean arterial pressure showed a significant decrease from a baseline of 103.38±11.38 to 88.36±5.72 at 6 months and to 74.46±5.83 at 1 year of follow-up.
Conclusion
As demonstrated by this study, all MetS characteristics significantly improved following the SASI bypass treatment.
