Surgical study highlights pros and cons of gastric bypass surgery for severe obesity
Date:11/18/2008

p>

  • Diabetes declined from 19 patients to two (from ten to two in the proximal group and nine to zero in the distal group).

  • The number of patients with dyslipidaemia abnormal concentrations of lipids or lipoproteins in the blood fell from 39 to nine (from 20 to four in the proximal group and 19 to five in the distal group).

    "Our study found that both laparoscopic and distal bypass operations were feasible and safe with no deaths" says Dr Muller. "There were no significant statistical differences between the two techniques when it came to weight loss or reducing health issues such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

    "However, we were very concerned that one of the distal patients developed severe protein malnutrition, because malnourished patients have high complication rates after surgery. A further operation was carried out to convert the distal bypass to a proximal bypass.

    "As a result we now perform proximal gastric bypass surgery as the operation of first choice in morbidly obese patients."
