Abstract
GALVAN-ARAIZA, Héctor Gabriel et al. Laparoscopic gastric plication: results at five years of follow-up in Mexican patients. Cir. gen [online]. 2019, vol.41, n.1, pp.12-18. Epub Oct 02, 2020. ISSN 1405-0099.
Introduction:
Laparoscopic gastric plication (LGP) is an emerging bariatric procedure that is considered effective and safe for weight loss.
Objective:
To determine the percentage of excess of weight loss (%EWL), BMI, percentage of excess of BMI loss (%EBMI), and postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients submitted to LGP with five years of follow-up.
Material and methods:
Observational, analytical study based on the capture of data in the case files of patients who underwent LGP during 2012, with five years of follow-up, and with evaluations at three, six, 12, 36 and 60 postoperative months.
Results:
A total of 40 patients were included, with a mean age of 36.2 ± 8.2 years; preoperative weight and BMI were 105.8 ± 18.9 kg and 39.2 ± 5.5 kg/m2, respectively. The %EWL was of 60.3% after one year, and 51.8% after 60 postoperative months. Weight, BMI, %EWL, and loss of excess BMI (%EBMI) were statistically significant in contrast to preoperative measures (p < 0.001). No changes were observed from 12 to 36 postoperative months. A significant regain of weight was observed from 36 to 60 postoperative months. Three reinterventions were required because of internal bleeding, and two conversions to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
Conclusion:
LGP is an effective bariatric procedure for weight loss, with an important %EWL observed after five postoperative years.
