Introduction:
Sleeve gastrectomy with jejunal bypass (SGJB) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has shown good results with respect to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) remission in our institution. In this study, we compared the efficacy and safety of SGJB versus RYGB in terms of T2D remission up to 3 years postoperatively.
Materials And Methods:
A retrospective cohort study of two groups of patients with T2D who underwent SGJB or RYGB. All patients were matched by age, presurgical body mass index (BMI), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and diabetes duration. Complete remission was defined as HbA1c of < 6%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of < 100 mg/dL, and no antidiabetic drugs.
Results:
In total, 57 and 55 patients in the SGJB and RYGB groups, respectively, met the inclusion criteria. The diabetes remission rate was similar between the SGJB and RYGB groups at 1 year postoperatively (69.2 vs. 64.7%) and 3 years postoperatively (56.1 vs. 58.8%). There were no significant differences in HbA1c or FPG at 1 or 3 years between the two groups. Additionally, weight loss and other metabolic parameters were similar between the groups. Clinical chemistry values were similar at 12 months except for hematocrit and calcium, which were significantly lower in the RYGB group. There were no differences in surgical complications.
Conclusions:
Both procedures showed similar results in terms of T2D remission and other metabolic markers at 3 years. Hematocrit and calcium were significantly higher in the SGJB than RYGB group. SGJB is as effective and safe as RYGB in obese patients with T2D.
