- Brief Summary
It is estimated that there will be 439-552 million people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) globally in 2030. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is present in one quarter of patients at the bariatric outpatient clinic. It is undecided which metabolic surgery grants best results in the remission of T2DM and which procedure does that at the lowest rate of surgical complications, long term difficulties and side effects. Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is present in 80% of all morbidly obese subjects and is a major risk factor for development of insulin resistance and non alcoholic steatohepatis (NASH). It is increasingly recognized that the immune system, possibly driven by innate lymphoid cells (ILC's), and the intestinal microbiome are major players in this obesity related disease and the switch from benign to malign (insulin resistance and T2DM) obesity. However, the exact mechanisms of action behind the surgery-driven switch back from malign to benign obesity are unknown.Primary objective is to evaluate and compare the glycaemic control in T2DM within the first year of LRYGB and LMBG. Secondary aim is to gain insight in the pathophysiological mechanisms that drive the conversion of malign to benign obesity.
- Detailed Description
Metabolic surgery has proven to be a viable long-term solution in the treatment of morbid obesity and its comorbidities. It induces rapid remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is present in one quarter of patients at the bariatric outpatient clinic. Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is present in 80% of all morbidly obese subjects and is a major risk factor for development of insulin resistance and non alcoholic steatohepatis (NASH), with the latter becoming the major indication for liver transplantation in the USA. It is increasingly recognized that the immune system, possibly driven by innate lymphoid cells (ILC's), and the intestinal microbiome are major players in this obesity related disease and the switch from benign to malign (insulin resistance and T2DM) obesity. However, the exact mechanisms of action behind the surgery-driven switch back from malign to benign obesity are unknown. Also, it is undecided which metabolic surgery grants best results in the remission of T2DM and which procedure does that at the lowest rate of surgical complications, long term difficulties and side effects. The Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB), an efficient but complex procedure, is the golden standard in the Netherlands. The Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass (LMGB) is technically less challenging and has been introduced to overcome some of the limitations of LRYGB. It has been hypothesized that the LMGB has a more rapid and durable glycaemic control, possibly due to the altered constitution and the augmented length of the biliary limb. There is reason to believe that the improved glycaemic control might become apparent within the first year of surgery and that it might remain thereafter. However, it is unknown what order of magnitude is to be expected and whether subgroups of T2DM patients will benefit the LMGB more. Also, it is unknown whether and to what extent intestinal microbiota and immunological tone can predict the metabolic response (improvement in insulin sensitivity) and NAFLD/NASH reduction and whether differences are expected between these two surgeries. Increased understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms as well as their relationship to metabolic disturbances are thought to be of crucial importance to discover new diagnostic and therapeutical targets in obesity associated insulin resistance/T2DM and NAFLD/NASH. Primary objective is to evaluate and compare the glycaemic control in T2DM within the first year of LRYGB and LMBG. Secondary aim is to gain insight in the pathophysiological mechanisms that drive the conversion of malign to benign obesity.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method glycaemic control 12 months FU as measured by the difference in HBa1C
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method NAFLD/NASH day of surgery, reoperation NAFLD/NASH parameters in liver biopsy measured with the Steatosis, Activity and Fibrosis (SAF) score according to Bedossa et al (2012).For each patient a SAF score summarizing the main histological lesions will be defined. The steatosis score (S) will assess the quantities of larger or median-sized lipid droplets but not foamy microvesicules from 0 to 3 (S0 \<5%; S1 5-33%; S2 34-66% and S3\>67%). Activity grade (A) from 0-4 is the unweighted addition of hepatocyte ballooning (0-2) and lobular inflammation (0-2). Stage of fibrosis will be assessed using the score described by NASH-CRN as follows; stage 0 (F0) no fibrosis; stage 1 (F1) 1a or 1b perisinusoidal zone 3 or 1c portal fibrosis; stage 2 (F2) persinusoidal and periportal fibrosis without bridging; stage 3 (F3) bridging fibrosis and stage 4 (F4) cirrhosis. A diagnostic algorithm which will be used during this study can be found in the original paper published by Bedossa et al.
