in English, Spanish

Purpose: To determine the impact of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) on the resolution of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and Prediabetes (PDM) in obese patients, as well as potential improvements in other comorbidities.

Material and methods: Observational retrospective study. We studied all patients with T2DM (n= 36) or PDM (n= 44) who underwent LSG in our hospital between years 2009 and 2012. PDM was defined as having at least 2 values of HbA1c between 5.7 and 6.4%. Follow-up period was 1-4 years (mean 17.5 months). T2DM remission criteria were fasting plasma glucose (FPG).

Objetivos: Evaluar la efectividad de la gastroplastia tubular laparoscópica (GTL) en la resolución de la diabetes tipo 2 (DM2), de la prediabetes (PDM) y de otras comorbilidades en pacientes obesos. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo. Se incluyeron a los pacientes con DM2 (n= 36) o PDM (n= 44) que fueron sometidos a GTL en nuestro hospital entre 2009 y 2012. Se consideró criterio de PDM presentar HbA1c entre 5.7-6.4% en al menos dos ocasiones. Periodo de seguimiento entre 1-4 años (media 17.5 meses). Como criterio de resolución de la DM2 se consideró presentar HbA1c.
