Long-Term Results of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Review of Studies Reporting 10+ Years Outcomes

: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide. Systematic search of Pubmed, Cochrane, and Embase was performed in order to find all the articles reporting 10+ years of LSG results. Eleven studies including 1020 patients met the inclusion criteria. Overall weighted mean %TWL was 24.4% (17-36.9%), and remission rates from TD2M to HTN were 45.6% (0-94.7%) and 41.4% (0-78.4%), respectively. De novo GERD had an overall prevalence of 32.3% (21.4-58.4%), and five cases (0.5%) of Barrett's disease were reported. Revisional surgery was required for 19.2% (1-49.5%) of patients, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass being the most common secondary procedure.
