| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Obesity is a major risk for mortality and morbidity. After failure of conservative management, the only way out is a bariatric procedure. The Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is the most frequently performed bariatric procedure worldwide. It is easier and has a shorter learning curve than other bariatric procedures. In this study we addressed a modified technique for omental reattachment to the staple line during LSG and its value in decreasing early postoperative complications. Patients and methods: This was a concurrent cohort study, which involved 119 patients who underwent LSG for a valid indication in adDemerdash Hospital, Ain-Shams University. Patients were randomly allocated into 2 Groups, Group A (n=60), underwent a LSG followed by a modified omentopexy, while Group B (n=59), underwent LSG with no omentopexy. Results: Males represented 27.7% of patients, the mean age was 38.7 years old. The mean BMI was 48.22 kg/ m2. The sleep apnea was reported in 30.25% of patients, followed by hypertension in 24.3%, DM in 15.9%, and GERD in 5.8% of the patients. The mean intra-operative blood loss was 11.5±3.7 cc, the operative time was significantly longer in the MOP group, p < 0.001. Leakage was detected in a single case and gastric sleeve twist was observed in 2 cases in Group B, while postoperative GERD was presented in 8.33% of Group A and 16.94% in Group B. Vomiting was reported in 16.8% of the patients at first day postoperative this number declined to 5.8% at both 1-week and 1-month follow-up visits. The median of number of attacks of vomiting per day in the first day postoperative was 0 with range of 0-5. There was significant decrease in vomiting in the MOP in the 1-week and 1-month follow-up visits. Conclusion: The modified omentopexy (MOP) is a simple addition to the LSG, with the added value of reducing some postoperative complications and symptoms, mainly the postoperative nausea and vomiting attacks. | ||||
