Abstract

Background

Sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (SG + TB) surgery is an effective treatment modality for the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Here, we aimed to present the 1-year follow-up data of our patients with T2DM who underwent SG + TB.

Methods

We evaluated the follow-up results of 45 patients and evaluated the remission status of T2DM. Additionally, biochemical variables including lipid status, liver function and nutritional status were presented.

Results

A total of 40 T2DM remissions occurred among the 45 patients (88.8%). The complete remission was present in 35 of the patients at the end of the postoperative first year. The lipid profile markers improved following the first postoperative month. The levels of the liver enzyme alanine aminotransferase (ALT) decreased after the first postoperative month, while aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels did not alter significantly during the follow-up period. We did not observe a change regarding albumin and vitamin B12 levels following the surgery.

Conclusion

SG + TB is a convenient and therapeutic method for the treatment of T2DM, along with the improvement in lipid profile and liver enzyme levels.
