Obesity Surgery, 06/20/2012
Zhu L et al. – Laparoscopic Roux–en–Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is beneficial for non–obese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in China.
Methods- LRYGB was performed in 30 T2DM patients with a BMI <35 kg/m2.
- The patients were followed up for 1 year.
- Pre– and postoperative changes in BMI, waist circumference, and biochemical indicators including fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were recorded.
- Significant reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin from 8.02 ±1.77 to 5.59 ± 1.02 % (p < 0.05) at 12 months was noted.
- Diabetes was completely resolved in nine cases, resulting in discontinuation of diabetes–related medication.
- No significant surgical complications occurred.
