Laparoscopic bariatric surgery, specifically the SAGB procedure, offers a minimally invasive option with promising early results. This approach shows potential for reduced hospital stays and improved cosmetic outcomes in obesity treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Bariatric Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Laparoscopic Procedures

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery offers minimal invasiveness, reversibility, and shorter hospital stays.
  • The first laparoscopic bariatric operation in Turkey was performed in 1998.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the early outcomes of laparoscopic application of SAGB.
  • To compare pre- and postoperative body weight, BMI, and %EW.

Main Methods:

  • 50 consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic SAGB between April 1998 and April 1999.
  • Standard laparoscopic antireflux procedure techniques were adapted.
  • Pre- and postoperative body weight, BMI, and %EW were calculated and compared.

Main Results:

  • After a 1-year follow-up, patients showed an average body weight of 74 kg and BMI of 29.
  • Average excess weight loss (%EW) was 62% (range 22-86%).
  • Early results were satisfactory and promising.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic bariatric surgery, including SAGB, demonstrates lower morbidity rates.
  • Shorter hospital stays and better cosmetic results favor the laparoscopic approach.
  • Laparoscopic bariatric surgery may be considered the first choice for treating obesity.
