Case Report: The case involves a 51-year-old female patient who underwent sleeve gastrectomy eight years ago to address morbid obesity (Body Mass Index (BMI) = 43).
Purpose: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most popular primary bariatric metabolic procedure worldwide but severe complications are still reported, and there is no ideal technique to avoid them. This study analyses the impact of oversewing (OS) and gastropexy (GP) on complication rate, early dyspeptic and late de novo GERD symptoms after LSG.
Material And Method: A case-control study was conducted on patients with obesity who underwent LSG.
At present, obesity, as a part of metabolic syndrome, represents the leading factor for disability, and is correlated with higher inflammation status, morbidity, and mortality. The purpose of our study is to add new insights to the present body of knowledge regarding the correlations between chronic systemic inflammation and severe obesity, which cannot be treated without considering other metabolic syndrome conditions. Biomarkers of high-level chronic inflammation are recognized as important predictors of pro-inflammatory disease.
