Long-Term Results of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Review of Studies Reporting 10+ Years Outcomes.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide. Systematic search of Pubmed, Cochrane, and Embase was performed in order to find all the articles reporting 10+ years of LSG results. Eleven studies including 1020 patients met the inclusion criteria. Overall weighted mean %TWL was 24.4% (17-36.9%), and remission rates from TD2M to HTN were 45.6% (0-94.7%) and 41.4% (0-78.4%), respectively. De novo GERD had an overall prevalence of 32.3% (21.4-58.4%), and five cases (0.5%) of Barrett's disease were reported. Revisional surgery was required for 19.2% (1-49.5%) of patients, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass being the most common secondary procedure.
