Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency After Bariatric Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Main proposed benefit of sleeve gastrectomy is loss of ghrelin secreting tissue. Some studies express that ghrelin augment pancreatic regeneration. Therefore we hypothesized that with sleeve gastrectomy it may result with pancreatic insufficiency.

Detailed Description
Mechanism of weight loss differs in bariatric surgery according to type of surgery.
With sleeve gastrectomy which has restrictive mechanism, ghrelin excretion decreases, and this condition is attributed as an additional mechanism in weight loss.
Ghrelin effects pancreatic regeneration, and loss of ghrelin may result with pancreatic insufficiency. Therefore we aimed to deteremine this association.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
SleeveGastrectomy Sleeve Gastrectomy will be performed. Preoperative and Postoperative pancreatic enzyme sufficiency (with steatocrit or fecal elastase) will be compared. |
Procedure: SleeveGastrectomy
Preoperative enzyme test before and after sleeve gastrectomy. Sleeve Gastrectomy will be performed. Preoperative (in one month) and Postoperative (after 3 months) pancreatic enzyme sufficiency (with steatocrit or fecal elastase) will be compared.
