ABSTRACT

Introducción: La cirugía bariátrica es el tratamiento más eficaz para la obesidad, con beneficios metabólicos adicionales a la pérdida de peso. La evaluación preoperatoria adecuada y planificación quirúrgica son esenciales para su éxito, especialmente en pacientes de edad avanzada. Objetivo: determinar variación de peso, beneficios metabólicos y seguridad de cirugía bariátrica en ancianos, con seguimiento de dos años. Metodología: se incluyeron adultos ≥65 años sometidos a cirugía bariátrica laparoscópica en un hospital terciario privado de referencia en Ecuador, entre 2010 y 2019. Se midió pérdida de peso, mejoría de comorbilidades endocrino-metabólicas y complicaciones. Resultados: se incluyeron 16 pacientes; edad media: 68.5 años (DE: ± 4.2); 12 (75%) mujeres; 56.25% se sometió a bypass gástrico; 37.5% a gastrectomía en manga y 6.25% a un procedimiento revisional. En dos años, 13 pacientes mostraron un porcentaje de pérdida de peso total (%TWL) de 31.5% (DE: ± 3.0%) y un porcentaje de pérdida de exceso de peso (% EWL) de 72.9% (DE: ± 11.0) con bypass gástrico; y de 22.7% (DE: ± 3.2%) y 65.6% (DE: ± 13.0) con gastrectomía en manga, respectivamente. Diabetes mellitus tipo 2 remitió en 80%, hipertensión en 62.5% y dislipidemia en 60%. El 50% de complicaciones postoperatorias fueron Grado I según la clasificación Clavien Dindo. Conclusión: este es el primer reporte ecuatoriano sobre cirugía bariátrica en adultos mayores, demostrando su seguridad con baja tasa de complicaciones, su efectividad como tratamiento a corto plazo para la obesidad y sus comorbilidades, y beneficios similares a los presentados en sujetos más jóvenes


Background: Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective obesity treatment, with metabolic benefits in addition to weight loss. Adequate preoperative evaluation and surgical planning are essential for success, especially in elderly patients. Objective: determine up to 2-year weight change, metabolic benefits and safety of bariatric surgery in the elderly. Methodology: older adults ≥ 65y who underwent laparoscopic bariatric surgery at a private tertiary referral hospital in Ecuador, between 2010 and 2019, were included. Weight loss, improvement of endocrine and metabolic comorbidities, and surgical complications were measured up to two years after the procedure. Results: sixteen patients were included. The mean age was 68.5 years (SD: ± 4.2); 12 (75%) were female. Gastric bypass was performed in 56.25% of patients; sleeve gastrectomy in 37.5%, and 6.25% had a revision procedure. Thirteen patients completed a two-year follow-up, where percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) was 31.5% (SD: ±3.0%), and percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) was 72.9% (SD: ± 11.0) with gastric bypass; and 22.7% (SD: ±3.2%) and 65.6% (SD: ± 13.0) with sleeve gastrectomy, respectively. Remission for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was 80%, 62.5% for hypertension (HT) and 60% for dyslipidemia. Fifty percent of postoperative complications were Grade I. Conclusion: this is the first report from a tertiary referral hospital in Ecuador about bariatric surgery in the elderly demonstrating its safety with a low complication rate, effectiveness as a short-term treatment for obesity and its comorbidities, and benefits similar to those presented globally in younger subjects
