Jaruvongvanich V, et al. - The midterm outcome of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in Asians with obesity was described. Researchers searched MEDLINE and EMBASE through August 2019 and included 19 studies involving 6,235 patients. The pooled mean excess weight loss percentages were 72.6%; 67.1%; and 59.1% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. The pooled mean total body weight loss percentages were 32.1%, 29.0%, and 25.5% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. The pooled rates of revision were 1.9% and 2.5%, due to gastroesophageal reflux disease and weight regain, respectively. Findings support the effectiveness of LSG for weight reduction; it provides durable response for up to 5 years among Asians with obesity.
