Background
One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has gradually gained in popularity. Evidence of the validity of the technique and the quality of life in the longer term is scarce. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the longitudinal (≥ 5 years) safety, weight-loss efficacy, comorbid disease improvement, and quality of life of patients following OAGB.
Methods
Data from patients who underwent OAGB from January 2009 to December 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative clinical characteristics and data through 8 years were analyzed.
Results
A total of 163 patients completed 5 to 8 years of follow-up with a mean age of 41 ± 11.4 years (22–65). Ninety-four patients (57.6%) had undergone prior bariatric surgery (gastric band). Mean body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) at the time of OAGB was 41.2 ± 6.5 (range 30.1–50.6). Twenty-one patients (13.0%) suffered from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 59 (36.2%) hypertension, 31 osteoarthritis (19.0%), and 24 had obstructive sleep apnea (14.7%). At 5, 6, 7, and 8 years of follow-up, respective mean BMI reduction was 12.6 (n = 163), 11.8 (n = 100), 10.7 (n = 82), and 8.8 (n = 40). Respective mean excess weight loss was 81.8 ± 23.6%, 75.9 ± 20.8%, 69.1 ± 20.4%, and 62.3 ± 23.4%. All obesity-related comorbidities decreased significantly at follow-up time points. Five patients (3%) underwent laparoscopic reoperation within 90 days after surgery. Incidence of recurrent reflux was 14.0%. At a mean follow-up of 92 months (76–111), improved or greatly improved quality of life was reported by 86.0% of patients.
Conclusion
OAGB provided very good weight loss, comorbidity improvement, and quality of life at follow-up of ≥ 5 years.
