Item Assessment of Carotid Artery Distensibility and Elasticity After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Prospective Study(2020) Gunesli, Aylin; Yilmaz, Mustafa; Altin, Cihan; Gezmis, Esin; Yabanoglu, Hakan; Erol, Varlik; 0000-0002-2557-9579; 0000-0002-8337-6905; 0000-0002-1161-3369; 0000-0002-1001-6028; 0000-0003-0268-8999; 32813160; S-6973-2016; AAK-3065-2021; AAJ-7865-2021; AAE-8301-2021; AAK-2011-2021Purpose Although it is well known that obesity increases the risk of atherosclerosis in carotid arteries, it is not clear whether this risk changes after obesity surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate whether weight reduction with a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has any effect on distensibility and elasticity which show subclinical atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries of obese individuals. Materials and Methods This prospective study included 130 patients (body mass index (BMI) 48.21 +/- 6.97 kg/m(2)) who underwent LSG. The patients were followed up for 1 year. Comparisons were made of the distensibiliy and elasticity values calculated preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, postoperatively. Results There was a statistically significant increase in distensibility and elasticity values from baseline to 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively (p < 0.001 for both comparisons). The multiple linear regression analysis was used to find the variables affecting both distensibility and elasticity. According to the results, the presence of BMI decreases distensibility percentage change level by 0.38 units (beta= - 0.38, 95% CI - 0.51;- 0.25,p < 0.001). The presence of fasting plasma glucose decreases elasticity percentage change level by 0.20 units. (beta= - 0.20, 95% CI - 0.39; - 0.01,p = 0.037). Conclusion Carotid artery distensibility and elasticity values increase after LSG, and this change could be caused by the change in metabolic parameters and heart geometry. These results may indirectly suggest that subclinical atherosclerosis in carotid arteries has decreased after obesity surgery.Item Change of respiratory functions, the STOP-Bang questionnaire, and Epworth sleepiness scale after bariatric surgery(2020) Kara, Sibel; Habesoglu, Mehmet Ali; Yabanoglu, Hakan; 33055387INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a highly morbid and fatal syndrome that reduces respiratory function. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep disorder in morbid obesity. Herein, we aimed to determine how respiratory function tests changed over time after bariatric surgery and to assess non-PSG (polysomnography) tests, namely STOP-Bang questionnaire and Epworth sleepiness tests, for predicting OSAS risk. METHOD: This retrospectively conducted study enrolled 35 patients who underwent bariatric surgery. Patients were divided into three groups formed on the basis of time passed after surgery (1, 2, or 3 years). Preoperative and postoperative respiratory function test parameters assessed by spirometry, body mass index (BMI), STOP-Bang questionnaire, and Epworth sleepiness test scores were recorded. RESULTS: Twenty-four (68.6%) patients were female, 11 (31.4%) male. The mean age was 36.5 +/- 10.5 years. Postoperative weight loss of the study groups was 26% p=0.001, 23.6% p=0.002 and 25.9% p=0.005. Reductions in BMI were 32 kg/m(2) p=0.001, 34.5 kg/m(2) p=0.002, 35.8 kg/m(2) p=0.005 respectively. Postoperative FVC (440 ml, 390 ml, 430 ml p = 0.005) and FEV1 (220 ml p = 0.005, 250 ml p = 0.004, 214 ml p = 0.005) increased in all three groups. STOP-Bang questionnaire and Epworth sleepiness scale scores significantly decreased after weight loss compared to preoperative period in all the study groups. CONCLUSION: We showed that FVC and FEV1 increased in the short and long term after weight loss by bariatric surgery; we also found that STOP-Bang questionnaire and Epworth sleepiness scale scores decreased postoperatively. These tests may be helpful to assess OSAS risk before and after surgery.Item Effects of volume-controlled equal ratio ventilation with recruitment maneuver and positive end-expiratory pressure in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: a prospective, randomized, controlled trial(2018) Tuncali, Bahattin; Erol, Varhk; Zeyneoglu, Pinar; 30119152Background/aim: We compared the effects of volume-controlled equal ratio ventilation (VC-ERV) and volume-controlled conventional ratio ventilation (VC-CRV) on oxygenation, ventilation, respiratory mechanics, and hemodynamic status during mechanical ventilation with recruitment maneuver (RM) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Materials and methods: A total of 111 patients scheduled for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were randomized to ventilation with inspiratory to expiratory ratio of 1:1 (Group VC-ERV) or 1:2 (Group VC-CRV) following tracheal intubation. RM (40 cmH2O, 15 s) and PEEP (10 cmH2O) were administered to all patients. Arterial blood gas samples were taken and peak airway pressure (Ppeak), mean airway pressure (Pmean), dynamic compliance (Cdyn), mean arterial pressure, heart rate, SpO2, and EtCO2 were recorded at 4 time points. Postoperative respiratory complications were recorded. Results: Oxygenation, ventilation, Pmean levels, and hemodynamic variables were similar in both groups. VC-ERV significantly decreased Ppeak and increased Cdyn compared to VC-CRV at all time points of the operation (P < 0.05). No pulmonary complication was observed in any patients. Condusion: VC-ERV provides significantly lower Ppeak and higher Cdyn with similar oxygenation, ventilation, hemodynamic parameters, and Pmean levels when compared to VC-CRV during mechanical ventilation with RM and PEEP in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.Item Retrospective Evaluation of Patients who Underwent Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery(2018) Tuncali, Bahattin; Pekcan, Yonca Ozvardar; Ayhan, Asude; Erol, Varlik; Yilmaz, Tugba Han; Kayhan, Zeynep; 30140537Objective: In the present study, we aimed to retrospectively evaluate the preoperative characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative results of patients who underwent laparoscopic obesity surgeries. Methods: After obtaining the approval of the Ethics Committee, records of patients who underwent laparoscopic obesity surgery from January 2013 to December 2016 were reviewed. Demographic characteristics, medications used in anaesthesia and analgesia, the duration of recovery unit/hospital stay, intensive care unit/mechanical ventilation requirements and complications were recorded. Results: A total of 329 ASA II-III patients over a 3-year period were operated. Thiopental and propofol were administered at induction, sevoflurane, isoflurane and desflurane were administered for the maintenance, and vecuronium and rocuronium were administered to aid in neuromuscular blockage. The mean durations of recovery unit and hospital stays were 30.80 +/- 6.01 minutes and 4.27 +/- 1.68 days, respectively. The hypnotic agent, muscle relaxant or inhalation anaesthetics used did not have a significant effect on the duration of recovery unit and hospital stay. Mask ventilation and intubation were noted to be difficult in 5.5% and 8.5% of the cases, respectively. The presence of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome and high body mass index and Mallampati scores significantly increased difficult mask ventilation and difficult intubation rates. Four patients were transferred to intensive care unit for close monitoring. Two patients were re-operated on, two patients had rhabdomyolysis, one patient had Wernicke's encephalopathy and two patients had peripheral neuropathy. Perioperative mortality did not occur in any patient. Conclusion: We believe that appropriate patient selection, the use of well-designed anaesthesia and surgical protocols play important roles in increasing the success rate of patient outcomes and early and late complications in laparoscopic obesity surgery.
