Reasons for Admission of Patients to the Emergency Department after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Abstract

Objective: Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in the body to the extent that it impairs health in humans. It is a common health problem that is increasing in severity. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a preferred method because of satisfactory weight loss, resolution of comorbidities and performance safety. The increase in surgery has brought along the postoperative problems. New conditions related to bariatric surgery can be observed in all areas of life. Methods: After obtaining the necessary permission from the local clinical research ethics committee, patients who had bariatric surgery in our hospital between January 2018 and December 2021 were asked to respond by sending a mini-questionnaire about their application to the emergency department after surgery. Eighty patients who agreed to answer the questions were included in the study. Questions were asked and the results were evaluated. In addition, none of the patients who applied to the hospital were admitted to the hospital. Results: 53.38% of the patients who applied to the hospital came with stomach spasm and vomiting. Among the 80 patients, 18.8% were admitted to the hospital again after surgery. After the operation, 53.3% of the patients applied to the hospital within the first three months, 26.6% within the 4th and 6th months, and 20.1% after the 10th month. Conclusion: General practitioners and emergency specialists should master the management algorithm of these patients. If there is the slightest doubt, obese patients should be consulted, if possible, from a surgeon experienced in bariatrics or a general surgeon.
