Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency After Bariatric Surgery

Conditions
Obesity, Morbid
Pancreatic Insufficiency
Interventions
Procedure: SleeveGastrectomy
Registration Number
NCT03279653
Lead Sponsor
Umraniye Education and Research Hospital
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.
