Abstract | ||||
Introduction: Nutritional deficiencies are usually associated with bariatric surgery. Iron metabolism is usually affected following bariatric surgery. Aim of work: Is to determine and compare the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) versus laparoscopic single anastomosis sleeve ileal bypass (SASI) on Iron Profile. Patients and methods: The study included 74 patients equally divided into two equal groups. Group A (n=37) underwent LSG while Group B (n=37) underwent SASI. Follow-up was designed for the serum iron profile for 6 and 12 months. Results: There was a statistically significant decrease in EWL% in SASI Group more than LSG Group (p=0.001*). There was a statistically significant drop in the Iron profile components’ levels in SASI Group after 1,6 and 12 months compared with the corresponding baseline levels with non significant changes in the LSG group. Conclusion: Both LSG and SASI are effective in the treatment of obesity however LSG has minimal effect on the iron profile in comparison with SASI procedure so adherent follow up for the Iron profile is mandatory. | ||||
