Obesity has reached epidemic proportions among adolescents. Methods, such as bariatric surgery, have become the most effective treatment for patients with classes III and IV obesity.<\/p>\n
To evaluate weight loss, comorbidity remission, and long-term results of bariatric surgery in adolescents.<\/p>\n
Study with adolescent patients undergoing bariatric surgery, evaluating laboratory tests, comorbidities, and the percentage of excess weight loss in the preoperative period and at one, two, and five years postoperatively.<\/p>\n
A total of 65 patients who met the inclusion criteria, with a mean age of 18.6 years, were included in the analysis. In the preoperative period, 30.8% of hypercholesterolemia, 23.1% of systemic arterial hypertension, and 18.4% of type 2 diabetes were recorded, with remission of these percentages occurring in 60, 66.7 and 83.4%, respectively. The mean percentage of excess weight loss was 63.48% after one year of surgery, 64.75% after two years, and 57.28% after five years. The mean preoperative total cholesterol level was 180.26 mg\/dL, and after one, two, and five years, it was 156.89 mg\/dL, 161.39 mg\/dL, and 150.97 mg\/dL, respectively. The initial mean of low-density lipoprotein was 102.19mg\/dL and after five years the mean value reduced to 81.81 mg\/dL. The mean preoperative glycemia was 85.08 mg\/dL and reduced to 79.13 mg\/dL after one year, and to 76.19 mg\/dL after five years.<\/p>\n
Bariatric surgery is safe and effective in adolescents, with low morbidity, resulting in a loss of excess weight and long-term stability, improving laboratory tests, and leading to remission of comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, and systemic arterial hypertension.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
