Özet
Background/Aims: Obesity is one of the most serious public health problems. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), a type of bariatric surgery, is emerging as the new promising therapy for the treatment of morbid obesity. Methodology: In the present study we aimed to assess the effects of LSG on body weight and other obesity related pathological conditions. Results: A total of 19 obese subjects underwent LSG surgery. All patients underwent complete evaluation including anthropometric/clinical parameters and laboratory tests. Hypertension (HT), diabetes mellitus (DMJ, body mass index (BMI), and hyperlipidemia were significantly reduced after LSG. Conclusions: Results of this study demonstrate that LSG induces stable weight loss and resolution of obesity-associated comorbidities. © H.G.E. Update Medical Publishing S.A.
