Obesity Epidemic • World epidemic encompasses 1.7 billion people • Highest in the U.S. • Approximately 2/3 of Americans are overweight, and almost half are obese • BMI subgroups of >35 and >40 are experiencing most rapid growth Buchwald et al. Jama 2004

Obesity Epidemic • Rise in the prevalence of obesity is associated with rises in prevalence of obesity related comorbidities • Comorbidities responsible for 2.5 million deaths per year worldwide • Loss of life expectancy is profound • 25 year-old morbidly obese male has 22% reduction in lifespan, representing a loss of 12 years of life Buchwald et al.

Obesity Epidemic • Diet therapy, with and without support organizations, is ineffective long term • Currently, there are no effective pharmaceutical agents to treat obesity, especially morbid obesity North American Association for the Study of Obesity. NIH 2000
Definition of Obesity according to BMI BMI = W(kg)/H (m²)
BMI • Calculated as follows: Weight(kg)/Height(m2) • Lowest mortality = BMI < 25kg/m2 • Highest mortality = BMI > 40kg/m2 • BMI > 40 = approximately 100lbs. over ideal body weight
Medical Complications of Obesity Idiopathic intracranial hypertension Pulmonary disease abnormal function obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome Stroke Cataracts Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease steatosis steatohepatitis cirrhosis Coronary heart disease Diabetes Dyslipidemia Hypertension Severe pancreatitis Gall bladder disease Cancer breast, uterus, cervix colon, esophagus, pancreas kidney, prostate Gynecologic abnormalities abnormal menses infertility polycystic ovarian syndrome Osteoarthritis Phlebitis venous stasis Skin Gout

Preoperative Preparation • Cardiac • Pulmonary • Endocrine • Psychiatric • Gastro-intestinal • Dietician • Weight Loss
Nutritionist Wrong expectations Poor compliance Poor outcome Yes 1
History of Bariatric Surgery • Realization that some patients with Gastric Surgery would lose weight • Observation that ileal resection caused improved fatty acid and cholesterol profile
History of Bariatric Surgery • J-I Bypass: Kremen, Linner, Nelsen, Dragstedt • Gastric Bypass: Mason • BPD: Scopinaro • Gastric Banding: Kuzmak • Gastric Pacing: Cigiana
Surgical Procedures • Restrictive procedures • Gastric Banding • Vertical Banded Gastroplasty • Vertical Gastrectomy • Malabsorptive procedure • Biliopancreatic Diversion • Scopinaro • Duodenal-Switch BPD • Hybrid procedure • Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Surgical Procedures(International Registry of Bariatric Surgery 2002)
Vertical Banded Gastroplasty Mac Lean Mason
Vertical Banded Gastroplasty • Developed in 1982 by Dr. Mason • Most widely used between 1982 and 1992 • 78% of patients are successful at decreasing co-morbidities • Staple line failure can occur up to 20% per year • Band erosion
Bilio-pancreatic diversion Withduodenalswitch Scopinaro
Bilio-Pancreatic Diversion • Developed by Scopinaro in 1979 • Excellent weight-loss results • Excellent results with resolution of co-morbidities • Technically demanding • Higher complication rate
Vertical Gastrectomy • Developed in 1987 by Dr. Johnston called the Magenstrasse and Mill operation • Derived from VBG • Restrictive component of BPD with DS • Advantages include no anastomosis or prosthetic implant making it technically easier in higher BMI patients
History of Gastric Bypass • 1967 – first described gastric bypass by Mason and Ito • 1994 - first report of laparoscopic gastric bypass by Wittgrove & Clark • Mirroring the open technique, the laparoscopic approach was initially described retrocolic, retrogastric • Currently, there are multiple variations of each major aspect of the operation without a standardizedapproach
How does it work ? Gastric Bypass ? Loss of appetite Ghrelin Restriction Small pouch (approx 30 cc) Small anastomosis (approx. 1.5 cm) Malabsorption Alimentary Limb Between 100 to 200cm Biliopancreatic Limb Between 50 to 75 cm
Gastric Bypass: Technique • Biliary Limb • 15 to 100cm • Roux Limb • BMI<50: does not matter • BMI>50: 150cm Choban Obesity Surg 2002 Brolin Ann Surg 1992
Gastric Bypass: Follow Up • Clinical Pathway • 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, 18 months and yearly • Nutritionist • Vitamins • Labs • Aggressive follow up is the key to good outcomes
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass • Excess weight loss (EWL): 60%- 80% after 12 months • Mean EWL at 5 years: 50-60% • Morbidity: 16% • Mortality: 0.2% Brolin, Surg Clin North Am; 2001
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass • Co-morbidities Resolved/Improved • Respiratory dysfunction(up to 99%) resolved • Hypertension (up to 95%) improved • Cardiac dysfunction (up to 95%) improved • Diabetes (up to 90%) resolved • Arthritis (up to 85%) improved • Hyperlidemia (up to 95%) resolved • Gastro-esophageal Reflux (up to 99%) resolved
Surgical Outcomes: Comorbidities • Resolution or improvement in a substantial number of patients after gastric bypass • Buchwald et. al JAMA 2004; 292; 1724
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass:Complications • Overall: 16% • Leak • Hemorrhage • P.E. • Stomal stenosis • Marginal ulcer • Internal hernia • Incisional hernia • Vit B12 deficiency • Iron Deficiency • Mortality: 0.2%
Unfilled Band Filled Band GastricBanding
Gastric Banding • Developed by Dr. Kuzmak in 1982 • No staples • Ability to adjust stoma size • Completely reversible • U.S. Clinical trial began in 1990 • International experience • Over 2,000 ASGB implantations ’91-’94 • ASGB results comparable to VBG results
Laparoscopic Gastric BandingResults FDA Study’s outcomes : (www.fdcdrh/pdf/POOOOO8b.pdf) • 178 pts • 36 months f.u. • EWL: 36% at 36 months • 82% overall adverse event incidence
Laparoscopic Gastric BandingResults • Change in technique – pars flaccida rather then peri-gastric • Product improvements • Decreased complications – slippage, erosion • Increased results – EBWL 50-60% - studies range • Requires f/u for 3-4 yrs
“Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding 1,014 Consecutive Cases • Ponce, et al. • 1014 consecutive cases • 82% women, mean age 42, BMI 47.7 kg/m2 • %EBWL at 3 years 62+-21% • Slip rate 1.4% (pars flaccida) to 21% (perigastric) • 2 cases (0.2%) erosion • 85% follow-up J Am Coll Surg.
