Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) can be caused by gastric motility disorders such as gastroparesis with idiopathic background, diabetic neuropathy, or postsurgical nerve damage. Currently, a variety of endoscopic and surgical treatment options are available. We noted clinical improvement of gastric emptying with reduction of the gastric fundus following both fundoplication and fundectomy. As a consequence, we explored the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on gastric emptying. The focus of this paper is to investigate the role of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in the treatment of gastroparesis.

METHODS: Patients with symptoms suggestive of gastroparesis received diagnostic work-up (gastric emptying scintigraphy and/or Radiographic Barium-Sandwich Emptying studies). Patients with fundic emptying problems and moderate gastric dilation were selected for a LSG. All perioperative parameters were documented regarding patients characteristics, complications, and outcomes expressed as symptoms and quality of life (GIQLI gastrointestinal quality of life index). Assessment of DGE: Barium Emptying Radigraphy Index (BERI) 0-5.

RESULTS: From 122 patients with gastroparesis, 19 patients were selected for LSG (mean age 54 years (23-68); 10 males/9 females. Morbidity 2/19; no mortality; follow-up mean 24 months (12-60); preop/postop: BERI: 2, 31/1, 27 (p < 0.01); we noted significant improvement of the quality of life (preoperative GIQLI 78 (44-89)) to postoperative values of 114 (range 87-120) (p < 0.0001). Preoperative median BMI of these 19 patients was 24 [1-10], which was not significantly changed in the 15 patients at > 1 year follow-up with 23 [1-8]. Postoperative recurrence of DGE occurred in 3 patients who were reoperated after >1 year follow-up.

CONCLUSION: LSG is a potential surgical treatment option for selected patients with gastroparesis and fundic emptying problems.
