    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: More than 10 years of outcomes for sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) have not yet been documented. OBJECTIVES: Analysis of>11 years of outcomes of isolated LSG in terms of progression of weight, patient satisfaction, and evolution of co-morbidities and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) treatment. SETTING: Two European private hospitals. METHODS: Chart review and personal interview in consecutive patients who underwent primary isolated LSG (2001-2003). RESULTS: Of the 110 consecutive patients, complete follow-up data was available in 65 (59.1%). Mean follow-up was 11.7±.4 years. Two patients had died of non-procedure-related causes. Twenty (31.7%) patients required 21 reoperations: 14 conversions (10 duodenal switch (DS), 4 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and 3 resleeve procedures) for weight issues and 2 conversions (RYGB), and 2 hiatoplasties for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). For the 47 (74.6%) individuals who thus kept the simple sleeve construction, percentage of excess body mass index loss (%EBMIL) at 11+years was 62.5%, versus 81.7% (P = .015) for the 16 patients who underwent conversion to another construction. Mean %EBMIL for the entire cohort was 67.4%. At 11+years postoperatively, 30 patients versus 28 preoperatively required treatment for co-morbidities. None of the 7 patients preoperatively suffering from GERD were cured by the LSG procedure. Nine additional patients developed de novo GERD. Overall satisfaction rate was 8 (interquartile range 2) on a scale of 0-10. CONCLUSION: Isolated LSG provides a long-term %EBMIL of 62.5%. Conversion to another construction, required in 25% of the cases, provides a %EBMIL of 81.7% (P = .015). Patient satisfaction score remains good despite unfavorable GERD outcomes.
