Purpose: This study evaluated the improvement of respiratory function and airway volumes using spirometry and computed tomography (CT) in severely obese Japanese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). We also evaluated the quality of life (QOL) of enrolled patients using questionnaires.
Methods: A total of 71 patients who underwent LSG at Iwate Medical University Hospital between October 2013 and September 2020 were enrolled.
Aims/introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is among the most important obesity-related diseases, and offers the potential for accelerated the early onset and progression of type 2 diabetes. The aim of the present study was to clarify the therapeutic effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on OSA in severely obese Japanese patients, and to find correlations between OSA improvements and β-cell function (BCF).
Materials And Methods: Between September 2013 and December 2019, 61 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were enrolled.
Purpose: Laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy (LLLS) is a feasible and safe procedure with a relatively smooth learning curve. However, single-incision LLLS requires extensive surgical experience and advanced techniques. The aim of this study is to report the standardized single-incision plus one-port LLLS (reduced port LLLS, RPLLLS) technique and evaluate its safety, feasibility, and effectiveness for junior surgeons.
