Aim- To evaluate the results of Laparoscopic Ileal Interposition (II) with diverted sleeve gastrectomy (DSG) (II+DSG) for control of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and related metabolic abnormalities, with weight reduction without causing malabsorption.
Methods- Sixteen (M: F=11:5) patients were selectively subjected to II+DSG, based on their adverse baseline clinical profiles like duration of diabetes > 5-10 years, lower BMIs, poorer basal and stimulated C-peptide response, strong family history of T2DM, requirement of maximum dosages ≥ 3 OHAs and/or Insulin, presence of end organ impairment. Patients had mean age of 50.9 ± 8.3 years (range 34-64 years), duration of diabetes 15.1± 5.8 years (range- 9 to 32 years). All had poorly controlled T2DM (mean HbA1c- 10.1 ± 2.8 %) despite medication. 7 (44%) patients had hypertension, 6 (37%) had dyslipidemia and 6 (37%) had microalbuminuria. The primary outcome was remission of diabetes (HbA1C < 6.5% without OHAs/ Insulin) and secondary outcomes were changes in OHA requirement and components of metabolic syndrome.
Results- Table 1 shows results of II+DSG. Mean follow up was 8.5 ± 5.5 months (range: 1-18 months). Results are in table 1. 11 patients (69 %) had remission in diabetes and others showed significant reduction in medication. 6 patients (85.7 %) had remission in hypertension. There was a significantly declining trend in both lipids and microalbuminuria.
Conclusions- Laparoscopic II+DSG seems to be a very promising procedure for control of Type 2 DM. Amongst the Baraitric operations which are now finding their use in remission of diabetes, Ileal interposition stands alone as a procedure devised specifically for remission of Diabetes. This procedure is especially meant for bringing about remissions in patients with low C-Peptides, Strong family history of diabetes, rapidly increasing insulin requirements, Microalbuminuria and Dyslipidemia. This is achieved without significant issues of nutrient malabsorption , post operative dumping, intractable hypoglycemia and pancreatic exhaustion.
