  1. Obesity Surgery : Is it only for losing weight ? Joint Hospital Surgical Grand Round Simon Chu Prince of Wales Hospital

  2. Obesity Classification WHO guidelines 2005

  3. Figures in Hong Kong Burden of Obesity – lessons learnt from Hong Kong Chinese Obesity Reviews (2008) 9 (Suppl. 1,) 35-40

  4. Reversibility Ability to calibrate Less destructive to stomach Gastric Banding

  5. Preserve normal food passage Second stage procedure is possible Serious complications Sleeve Gastrectomy

  6. Most common procedures performed in U.S. Better long term outcome than pure gastric restrictive technique Persistent nutritional problems Gastric Bypass

  7. Achieved best weight loss Possible for 2-stage procedure High operative complications Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch

  8. Artificial bezoar Increase in satiety  reduction of food intake Part of a diet programme Temporary procedure to aid further conventional intervention Intragastric balloon

  9. 1st element of assessing the efficacy of an bariatric surgery • Where is the evidence of  GOOD WEIGHT REDUCTION = IMPROVEMENT OF CO- MORBIDITIES Meta-analysis : Surgical treatment of Obesity Ann Intern Med 2005; 142 : 547-559

  10. Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) • Prospective non-randomized, interventional trial • Patients undergo bariatric surgery vs conventionally treated patients • Effects of weight loss on risk factors and hard end points • Changes in cardiovascular risk factors over follow-up periods

  11. Bariatric Surgery is a viable option for treatment of severe obesity as Result in long term weight loss Amelioration in risk factors

  12. New England Journal Of Medicine Vol 347, No 8 Aug 23, 2007 • Another prospective study using the same group of patients published in 2007 • To determine association between weight loss and mortality rate • Study period : 10.9 years • Weight loss from baseline : at least more than 15% • Adjusted hazard ratio 0.76surgery group

  13. Apart from weight reduction…..

  14. Apart from weight reduction Circulation 2004; 110 : 1245-1250

  15. Asia patients : Abdominal obesity Men : 90cm Women : 80cm

  16. Any help? • Significant improvement in all parameters after gastric bypass surgery at post-operative 6 months Remission of Metabolic Syndrome : A study of 140 patients Six Months after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Obesity Surgery ( 2008 ) 18: 601-606 • Gastric Bypass Surgery induces persistent and considerable improvement in MetS prevalence compared with patients treated conventionally Effect of Bariatric Surgery on the Metabolic Syndrome : A population based, Long-term Controlled Study Mayo Clinic Proceedings : Aug 2008 : 83, 8

  17. JAMA 2008; 299 (3) : 316-323 • Unblinded randomized controlled trial • 60 patients with BMI between 30 and 40 and recently diagnosed type 2 DM • Conventional diabetes therapy vs laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding • Outcomes : Remission of type 2 diabetes ( Fasting glucose < 7 mmol/L and HbA1c < 6.2% while not on glycemic therapy ) Diabetic Remission : 22/30 (73%) in surgical group 4/30 (13%) in conventional group at 2 years

  18. The Future..

  19. Metabolic Surgery • Return to euglycaemia and normal insulin levels are observed within days after bypass surgery • Weight loss alone cannot explain the association • “ Rearrangement of gastrointestinal anatomy as a primary mediator of surgical control of diabetes ?“

  20. Open questions for clinical Research • Surgical treatment for Diabetes in patients • BMI < 30 ? • Or with normal BMI ?

  21. Conclusion • Bariatric Surgery is effective in promoting weight loss in morbid obesity which has a long lasting effect • Effect of weight loss can be transferred to reduction in mortality rate • Apart from weight loss, remission of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes are the other clinical outcomes associated with bariatric surgery
