- Preoperative weight loss in super-obese patients: study of the rate of weight loss and its effects on surgical morbidity(2014) SANTO, Marco Aurelio; RICCIOPPO, Daniel; PAJECKI, Denis; CLEVA, Roberto de; KAWAMOTO, Flavio; CECCONELLO, IvanOBJECTIVES: The incidence of obesity and particularly super obesity, has increased tremendously. At our institution, super obesity represents 30.1% of all severely obese individuals in the bariatric surgery program. In super obesity, surgical morbidity is higher and the results are worse compared with morbid obesity, independent of the surgical technique. The primary strategy for minimizing complications in these patients is to decrease the body mass index before surgery. Preoperative weight reduction can be achieved by a hypocaloric diet, drug therapy, an intragastric balloon, or hospitalization. The objective of this study was to analyze the results of a period of hospitalization for preoperative weight loss in a group of super-obese patients. METHODS: Twenty super-obese patients were submitted to a weight loss program between 2006 and 2010. The mean patient age was 46 years (range 21-59). The mean BMI was 66 kg/m(2) (range 51-98) and 12 were women. The average hospital stay was 19.9 weeks and the average weight loss was 19% of the initial weight (7-37%). The average caloric intake was 5 kcal/kg/day. After the weight loss program, the patients underwent gastric bypass surgery. RESULTS: The statistical analysis revealed that after 14 weeks of treatment (15% loss of initial weight), the weight loss was not significant. All patients had satisfactory surgical recovery and were discharged after an average of 4.6 days. CONCLUSION: In super obesity, preoperative weight loss is an important method for reducing surgical risks. Hospitalization and a hypocaloric diet are safe and effective. After 14 weeks, the weight loss rate stabilized, signaling the time of surgical intervention in our study.
- Bariatric surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) after liver transplantation: case report(2014) PAJECKI, Denis; CESCONETTO, Danielle Menezes; MACACARI, Rodrigo; JOAQUIM, Henrique; ANDRAUS, Wellington; CLEVA, Roberto de; SANTO, Marco Aurelio; ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto Carneiro D'; CECCONELLO, Ivan
- Tratamento de curto prazo com liraglutide no reganho de peso após cirurgia bariátrica(2013) PAJECKI, Denis; HALPERN, Alfredo; CERCATO, Cintia; MANCINI, Marcio; CLEVA, Roberto de; SANTO, Marco AurélioOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of the use of liraglutide in a group of patients undergoing surgical treatment of morbid obesity with unsatisfactory weight loss or regain of more than 15% of minimum reached weight. METHODS: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of 15 operated patients who had excess weight loss <50% after two years of follow-up or regained weight more than 15% of the minimum reached weight. We included only patients who had the expected ""surgical anatomy"", assessed by contrast radiography and endoscopy. Mean age was 47.2 ± 12.5 years, and patients received liraglutide at doses from 1.2 to 3.0 mg/day for eight to 28 weeks follow-up. RESULTS: Surgical treatment induced a weight loss of 34.1 ± 16.5 kg. The average weight regain after 5.3 ± 3.3 years was 14.2 ± 12.1 Kg. The average weight was significantly reduced after treatment with liraglutide (100.9 ± 18.3 kg. vs Kg 93.5 ± 17.4, p <0.0001). Six patients had nausea and two discontinued therapy due to the cost of medication. CONCLUSION: medical treatment directed to the control of satiety using liraglutide may be an alternative treatment of patients with poor weight loss or weight regain after surgery when no technical problem has been identified.
- FOOD TOLERANCE AND NUTRITIONAL RISK AFTER SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY AND ROUX-EN-Y GASTRIC BYPASS IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH SEVERE OBESITY: A PROSPECTIVE, RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL(2022) MEDEIROS, Veronica Garcia de; PAJECKI, Denis; DIAS, Maria Carolina Gonçalves; DANTAS, Anna Carolina Batista; CLEVA, Roberto de; SANTO, Marco AurelioABSTRACT Background: Bariatric surgery is still controversial in elderly patients with severe obesity. Most publications focus on safety and early clinical outcomes. Food tolerance and nutritional postoperative risk is unknown for this population. Methods: Thirty-six elderly patients with severe obesity were recruited for an open-label randomized trial from September 2017 to May 2019 comparing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB). Food tolerance was accessed by Quality of Alimentation (QoA) questionnaire and data on weight loss, body composition, and nutritional risk were collected between 6 and 24 months after surgery. Results: Comparing LSG to LRYGB patients, the latter had higher total weight loss (22% vs 31%, P=0.01) and excess weight loss (53% vs 68%, P=0.01). Food tolerance to eight food groups was similar between groups (14 vs 15 points, P=0.270), as Suter score (23 vs 25, P=0.238). Daily protein intake was below recommendation in both groups (40 vs 51 g/d, P=0.105). Nutritional risk, evaluated through Standardized Phase Angle (-1.48 vs -1.99, P=0.027), was worse for LRYGB group. Conclusion: Food tolerance and adequacy of food consumption were similar in both groups. LRYGB patients had higher nutritional risk.
- Cardiac Remodeling Patterns in Severe Obesity According to Arterial Hypertension Grade(2018) CLEVA, Roberto de; ARAUJO, Victor Arrais; BUCHALLA, Carla Cristina Ornelas; COSTA, Fabio de Oliveira; CARDOSO, Acacio Fernandes; PAJECKI, Denis; SANTO, Marco AurelioThe purpose of this study is to correlate the left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) patterns according to severe obesity and arterial hypertension (AHT) grades. A cross-sectional prospective study was conducted in 379 patients with severe obesity. Obesity was classified according to the BMI in the following: morbidly obese (MO; 40 < BMI < 50 kg/m(2)) and super obese (SO; BMI > 50 kg/m(2)). The AHT was classified into classes 1 and 2 according to American Heart Association. The presence of LVH and the pattern of cardiac remodeling were determined by transthoracic echocardiography. LVH was present in 58.6% of patients. Obesity and AHT had additive effects in LVH prevalence. LVH was found in 32.9 and 46.7% of MO with AHT grades 1 and 2, respectively. LVH was diagnosed in 39.1% in SO with AHT grade 1 and in 50% of AHT grade 2. Patients with AHT presented a significantly higher risk of developing LVH (OR 1.97; p = 0.003). Hypertension grade was also a determinant variable in the development of LVH. Patients with AHT 2 had 4.31-fold greater risk (p < 0.001) when compared to normotensive patients. BMI was only considered an independent risk factor for LVH in patients with BMI greater than 47.17 kg/m(2) (OR 1.62; p = 0.023). AHT is a stronger predictive factor of LVH than obesity grade.
- Bariatric surgery in the elderly: a randomized prospective study comparing safety of sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (BASE Trial)(2020) PAJECKI, Denis; DANTAS, Anna Carolina Batista; KANAJI, Ana Lumi; OLIVEIRA, Daniel Riccioppo Cerqueira Ferreira de; CLEVA, Roberto de; SANTO, Marco AurelioBackground: The aging population along with the obesity epidemic has increased the number of older patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Nevertheless, there is still conflicting data regarding surgical safety in this population. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the surgical morbidity of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) for older patients. Setting: University hospital, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Methods: We performed a prospective randomized clinical trial from September 2017 to May 2019. Obese patients aged >= 65 years were randomized to LSG or LRYGB. Data collection included demographic information, body mass index (BMI), and co-morbidities. We assessed readmission, postoperative complications, and mortality. Complications were scored according to Clavien-Dindo classification. Results: A total of 36 patients, with a BMI between 35.5 and 52.8 kg/m(2) were randomized to either LSG (18 patients) or LRYGB (18 patients). The overall complication rate was similar between LSG and LRYGB (3 versus 7, P=.13). Severe complication was more prevalent in LRYGB patients but had no statistically significant difference (0 versus 3, P=.07). Each group had 1 readmission and there was no mortality in 90-day follow-up. Conclusions: Morbidity and mortality rates of bariatric surgery are low in elderly obese patients. Despite not statistically significant, LSG had a lower rate of severe complications compared with LRYGBin this population setting.
- Small-Volume, Fast-Emptying Gastric Pouch Leads to Better Long-Term Weight Loss and Food Tolerance After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass(2018) RICCIOPPO, Daniel; SANTO, Marco Aurelio; ROCHA, Manoel; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; DINIZ, Marcio Augusto; PAJECKI, Denis; CLEVA, Roberto de; KAWAMOTO, FlavioAnatomical and functional influences on gastric bypass (GBP) results are often poorly evaluated and not yet fully understood. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of the gastric pouch volume and its emptying rate on long-term weight loss and food tolerance after GBP. Weight loss, food tolerance, pouch volumetry (V) by three-dimensional reconstruction, and pouch emptying rate by 4 h scintigraphy were evaluated in 67 patients. Cutoffs were identified for V and retention percentage (%Ret) at 1 h (%Ret1). From these parameters, the sample was categorized, looking for associations between V, %Ret, weight loss, and food tolerance, assessed by a questionnaire for quick assessment of food tolerance (SS). PO median follow-up time was 47 months; median V was 28 mL; %Ret at 1, 2, and 4 h were 8, 2, and 1%, respectively. There were associations between V <= 40 mL and higher emptying rates up to 2 h (V <= 40 mL: %Ret1 = 6, %Ret2 = 2, p = 0.009; V > 40 mL: %Ret1 = 44, %Ret2 = 13.5, p = 0.045). An association was found between higher emptying speed in 1 h and higher late weight loss (WL), represented by lower percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) regain (p = 0.036) and higher %EWL (p = 0.033) in the group with %Ret1 <= 12%, compared to the group %Ret1 >= 25%. Better food tolerance (SS > 24), was associated with lower %Ret1 (p = 0.003). Smaller pouch size is associated with a faster gastric emptying, greater WL maintenance, and better food tolerance. These data suggest that a small pouch with rapid emptying rate is an important technical parameter for good outcomes in GBP.
bookPart Tratamento cirúrgico da obesidade - cirurgia bariátrica(2017) SANTO, Marco Aurelio; PAJECKI, Denis; CLEVA, Roberto de; CECCONELLO, Ivan- Weight Regain After Gastric Bypass: Influence of Gut Hormones(2016) SANTO, Marco Aurelio; RICCIOPPO, Daniel; PAJECKI, Denis; KAWAMOTO, Flavio; CLEVA, Roberto de; ANTONANGELO, Leila; MARCAL, Lia; CECCONELLO, IvanThe Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the gold standard bariatric operation. However, a major concern in late follow-up is the substantial weight regain. Understanding the role of gastrointestinal hormone secretion in this situation is relevant. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of gastrointestinal hormones comparing postprandial secretion of ghrelin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and leptin between patients with weight regain and those with favorable weight control. Twenty-four patients with follow-up from 27 to 59 months were divided into two groups according to sustained weight loss: group A (14 patients) had sustained weight losses, and group B (10 patients) had significant weight regain. Basal serum levels of ghrelin, GIP, GLP-1, and leptin after fasting and 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after a standard meal were measured. There was no difference in the ghrelin secretion. There was a difference in the GIP secretion, with a higher percentage increase in 30 min in group A (330 % x 192.2 %; p = 0.01). There were also differences in the GLP-1 secretion, with higher increases in absolute (p = 0.03) and percentage values after 30 min in group A (124 % x 46.5 %; p = 0.01). There was also a difference between baseline leptin values, with higher levels in group B (p = 0.02). The secretion of gut hormones in patients with weight regain after RYGB is different from that in patients with satisfactory weight outcome. After meal stimulation, reduced levels of GIP and GLP-1 may indicate the influence of gut hormones in the process of weight regain.
- Use of noninvasive markers to predict advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis in severe obesity(2016) CLEVA, Roberto de; DUARTE, Livio Fiolo; CRENITTE, Milton Roberto Furst; OLIVEIRA, Claudia Pinto Marques de; PAJECKI, Denis; SANTO, Marco AurelioBackground: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is observed in 25%-55% of patients with severe obesity and in 2%-12% with bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis. There is currently no noninvasive test for the diagnosis of severe liver fibrosis before bariatric surgery. Objectives: To determine the best noninvasive test for predicting advanced liver disease in patients with severe obesity. Setting: University tertiary care hospital, Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted with 699 patients with severe obesity undergoing bariatric surgery: 568 without a biopsy (nonbiopsy cohort) and 131 patients who had undergone an intraoperative liver biopsy. The tissues were subjected to histologic diagnosis (Brunt criteria) and classified as advanced fibrosis (stages 3 and 4) or no significant fibrosis (absence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and stages 1 or 2). The following predictive indices of cirrhosis were calculated in all patients: aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio (AAR), age platelet (AP) index, aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), cirrhosis discriminant score (CDS), and hepatitis C antiviral long-term treatment against cirrhosis (HALT-C). The cutoff values, sensitivity, specificity, and areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROCs) were calculated for patients with biopsies. Results: The AUROC of the AAR, AP, APRI, CDS, and HALT-C model for predicting advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis were, respectively, .522, .88, .99, .905, and .921. The calculated cutoff values, sensitivity, and specificity, respectively, were as follows: AAR: .94, .7, .45; AP 5, .7, .93; APRI .44, 1.0, .97; CDS 6, .7, .97; and HALT-C: .76, 1.0, .77. Conclusion: APRI index was the best predictor of advanced liver disease in patients with severe obesity. (Surg Obes Relat Dis 2016;12:862-867.)
