ADOLESCENT BARIATRIC SURGERY IN ONTARIO Who should be doing it, and in what kind of environment?
ADOLESCENT BARIATRIC SURGERY IN ONTARIO Children are not just small adults…
ADOLESCENT BARIATRIC SURGERY IN ONTARIO • Integrated multidisciplinary pediatric-oriented medical program • Pediatric medical specialties • Psychosocial support for child and family • Surgical expertise • Academic environment as part of overall pediatric obesity strategy
SICKKIDS TEAM OBESITY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (STOMP) Multidisciplinary medical/psychosocial program funded through MOHLTC Diabetes Strategy Bariatric surgery funded by MOHLTC through University of Toronto Bariatric Surgery Collaboration High Impact Strategies Toward Obesity Reduction in Youth (HISTORY) multidisciplinary grant funded by CIHR Province-wide initiative for obesity prevention and management

SICKKIDS EXPERIENCE SO FAR Pre-STOMP • Seven cases • 4 craniopharyngioma • 3 morbid obesity • First two: Roux-en-Y bypass • Excellent weight loss • Last five: laparoscopic band • All inflated with good initial weight loss • Two required reoperation • One removed at 2.5 years - converted to Roux-en-Y bypass • One removed at 2.0 years - converted to Roux-en-Y bypass • Weight loss results mixed
SICKKIDS EXPERIENCE SO FAR Post-STOMP • Nine cases • 1 craniopharyngioma • 8 morbid obesity • First three: laparoscopic band • Excellent weight loss in 1, poor weight loss in 2 • One removed after 10 months - converted to sleeve gastrectomy • No complications • Last six: • 3 Roux-en-Y bypass and 3 sleeve gastrectomy • Excellent early weight loss • No complications
ONGOING ISSUES ? • What is the best operation for adolescents? • Laparoscopic band • Potentially reversible and lower mortality • Higher complication and reoperation rate • Lower efficacy • Roux-en-Y bypass • “Gold standard” • Long term issues with vitamin deficiencies and compliance in adolescents • Sleeve gastrectomy
ONGOING ISSUES • How many funded pediatric centres should there be in Ontario? • For complex medical care • For bariatric surgery • Which model is better? • Pediatric centre with help from adult surgeons • Adult centre with help from pediatric medical specialists • Transitioning to adult centres
