Summary

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) can fail due to anatomical issues. Preoperative weight loss, aiming for at least 10% excess weight loss (EWL), can enable a successful secondary LSG attempt.

Area of Science:

  • Bariatric Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a popular bariatric procedure known for its technical simplicity.
  • However, technical difficulties can arise during LSG, sometimes preventing its safe completion laparoscopically.
  • This study investigates the reasons for LSG failure and strategies for successful secondary attempts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the circumstances leading to LSG technical failure.
  • To propose preoperative care strategies for enabling safe secondary LSG procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of patients undergoing primary or secondary LSG between January 2008 and July 2013.
  • Analysis of LSG success rates, preoperative care, complication rates, failure rates, and conversion to open surgery.

Main Results:

  • LSG was technically impossible in 1.2% of 954 patients, primarily due to a large left liver lobe or limited space.
  • Nine patients underwent a secondary LSG after initial failure, with a median interval of 6 months.
  • A preoperative excess weight loss (EWL) of at least 10% was associated with successful secondary LSG, avoiding conversion to open surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Preoperative weight loss is a viable strategy to facilitate a second laparoscopic attempt after initial LSG failure.
  • Achieving a minimum preoperative EWL of 10% is crucial for successful conversion to laparoscopic secondary LSG and avoiding open surgery.
