Sleeve Gastrectomy The Metabolic
Choice
Why Sleeve Gastrectomy?

“We need a bariatric procedure that
does not cause as much morbidity
and does not need as much follow
up as the current ones”
 E.E. Mason Presidential Address 2007
ASMBS
Mechanism of action
1. Restriction
2. Natural Band
Formation
3. Hormonal
1. Restriction
LSG reduces the size
of the gastric
reservoir to 60-100
ml
permitting intake of
only small amounts
of food and
imparting a feeling
of satiety earlier
during a meal
2. Natural Band
The pylorus
functions as a
natural band in
this procedure
facilitating
further restriction
3. Ghrelin
• hormone
produced mainly
by P/D1 cells lining the fundus
of the human stomach and
epsilon cells of the pancreas
that stimulates hunger
•Ghrelin levels
increase before
meals and decrease after
meals.
•the counterpart of the
hormone leptin, produced by
adipose tissue, which induces
satiation when present at
higher levels
3. Ghrelin
•By resecting the fundus
in a LSG, the majority of
ghrelin producing cells
are removed
•reducing plasma ghrelin
levels and subsequently
hunger.

Sleeve Gastrectomy and Diabetic

Resolution, Remission or Cure

It is generally accepted that effective medical
or surgical diabetes therapy results in
remission of the disease and not cure

This generally means that the patient is off
all hypoglycemic medications and/or insulin
and that they have normal fasting plasma
glucose, normal post prandial glucose
excursions and normal HbA1c

How does a Sleeve Gastrectomy
impart its Diabetic Remission?
1. Hormonal Changes
2. Hindgut theory
1. Hormonal Changes-Ghrelin Effect
Marked Reduction of fasting ghrelin levels postoperatively
Karamkos et al. 2008

Ghrelin is a hormone produced primarily by the gastric
fundus

Ghrelin :
 suppress the insulin sensitizing hormone
adiponectin
 Blocks hepatic insulin signaling
 Inhibits insulin secretion
 By gastric fundus removal, the reduced circulating
ghrelin level and its insulinostatic effect will increase
the maximal captacity of glucose induced insulin
release and enable the islet to secrete more insulin
Abbatini et al. 2009
2. The Hindgut Theory
 The more rapid delivery
of undigested nutrients
to the distal bowel
upregulates the
production of L-cell
derivatives like GLP-1,
Peptide YY
Mason E. Obes Surg 2005 15, 459-461
Rubino et.al, Ann Surg, 2006

The But we are not making any new anastamosis like
a BPD or a RNYGB so how does this happen with a
SG???


Melissas et al. Obes Surg 2007
• gastric emptying half-time (T1/2) accelerated (47.6
+/- 23.2 vs 94.3 +/- 15.4, P<0.01) post-operatively.
•
The percentage of the meal emptied from the
stomach 90 min after consumption increased
significantly after SG (75.4 +/- 14.9% vs 49.2 +/8.7%, P<0.01).
• study indicates that following SG, the stomach
empties its contents rapidly into the small intestine
Thus despite preservation of the pylorus, the stomach
emptying of solid foods into the small intestine is
increased
Hindgut theory: Peptide YY
 Secreted from entire GI tract –
“L” cells
▪ Mainly distal (ileum, colon and
rectum)
▪ Food intake stimulates its
release – fasting reduces it
 Effects
▪ May ameliorate insulin
resistance (in mice)
▪ Delays pancreatic/gastric
secretions/gastric
emptying/intestinal transit
Bloom SR. et.al. Nature 2006

Hindgut theory-Glucagon Like Peptide– 1

GLP-1 “Enteroglucagon”
 Secreted by ileal “L-cells” in
(rapid) response to a meal
 Animal study Li et al.
demonstrated an increased in
GLP 1 levels in SG group
 Actions
▪ Potent stimulator of insulin /
supresses glucagon
▪ Slows gastric emptying
▪ Reduces appetite
▪ Increases beta cell mass

Methodology

Search strategy: Medline, Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, Dare,
Cochrane library, Clinical evidence, TRIP, HTA database;
meanwhile, conference abstracts, registered clinical trials
were also searched. Google was also used for grey or other
literature, such as clinical practice guidelines, government
documents.

Search terms: sleeve gastrectomy, or vertical gastrectomy, or
bariatric surgery, or metabolic surgery and diabetes, or
T2DM, or DM or comorbidities.

So Why choose Sleeve?
Sleeve vs. LAGB





%EWL, Diabetes remission better with sleeve
No need for adjustments. No needles !!!
Removes Ghrelin Cell mass. Loss of appetite
Creates restriction more than obstruction
less follow up ?
SLEEVE VS. RYGB and BPD-DS









%EWL and T2DM remission may not be as strong
BUT..
LSG is much technically less complex-wider
applicability to general surgeons
No risk of Internal Hernias
No/Less malabsorption – No/Less micronutrient
deficiency ?
Maintains oral access to GI and Biliary tract
Completely removes Ghrelin cell mass
No dumping
Does not interfere with immunosuppressant
Can always be upgraded to RYGBP or BPD-DS
SLEEVE WINS!!!!
