Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy as a Treatment Option for Adults with Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes: from Research to Clinical Practice

Abstract

Obesity is a major factor in the worldwide rise in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The obesity “epidemic” will require novel, effective interventions to permit both the prevention and treatment of diabetes caused by obesity. Laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a newer bariatric surgical procedure with a lower risk of complications (compared to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery). Based in part on restriction of daily caloric intake, sleeve gastrectomy has a major role in inducing significant weight loss and weight loss is maintained for at least 10 years. Prior studies have supported the utility of the vertical sleeve gastrectomy for the treatment and management of subgroups of individuals with diabetes mellitus. There are reports of 11% to 76.9% of obese individuals discontinuing use of diabetic medications in studies lasting up to 8 years after vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Major ongoing issues include the preoperative determination of the suitability of diabetic patients to undergo this bariatric surgical procedure. Understanding how this surgical procedure is performed and the resulting anatomy is important when vertical sleeve gastrectomy is being considered as a treatment option for diabetes. In the postoperative periods, specific macronutrient goals and micronutrient supplements are important for successful and safer clinical results. An understanding of immediate- and long term- potential complications is important for reducing the potential risks of vertical sleeve gastrectomy. This includes the recognition and treatment of postoperative nutritional deficiencies and disorders. Vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a component of a long term, organized program directed at treating diabetes related to obesity. This approach may result in improved patient outcomes when vertical sleeve gastrectomy is performed to treat type 2 diabetes in obese individuals.
