Currently, increasing attention is being paid to studying the metabolic activity of adipose tissue, a source of biologically active mediators involved in vascular remodeling, immunological and inflammatory reactions. Today obesity is considered not only as independent risk factor of development of chronic noninfectious diseases (such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus types 2, pathology of a cardiovascular system, malignant neoplasms), but also as a significant predictor of metabolic disorders (dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, hyperuricemia), contributes to the early formation of metabolic syndrome and goat. Despite such an obvious problem, the current state of conservative therapy for overweight and obesity remains unsatisfactory. Most of patients, even after successful treatment, have a recurrence of the disease with the restoration of the initial anthropometric indicators or even an increase in body weight. In this regard, currently more widely used surgical methods of correction of obesity. However along with the expected positive effects of treatment bariatric surgery may be accompanied by the development of a number of specific surgical complications and impaired energy metabolism with aggravation of the existing polymorbid pathology. This clinical case demonstrates the association of obesity with the development of metabolic disorders, illustrates the development of severe tophaceous gout in a patient during 2 years after laparoscopic gastric banding. It shows the possible reasons for its debut and reflects the dynamics of the patients condition, as well as the nature and characteristics of the course of the joint syndrome in the postoperative period.

Gastric prolapse (GP) after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) remains a complication that has the potential to result in significant morbidities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of GP after LAGB and to determine its impact on patient outcomes among the morbidly obese. From 2005 to 2012, 379 consecutive morbidly obese patients underwent LAGB procedures at a single institution. Patients were placed into two groups based on the occurrence of gastric prolapse (GP vs no GP). Patient demographics and risk factors, operative features, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed by univariate analyses to assess the impact of GP. Average patient age was 47 ± 29 years and patients were commonly female (80%) with a median body mass index (BMI) of 44 kg/m2. Incidence of GP was 4.2 per cent (n = 16). LAGB median BMIs at 1 month and 1 year were 41 and 36 kg/m2. There was no difference in 1-year weight loss (BMI GP: 36 kg/m2 vs no GP: 36 kg/m2, P = 0.617). Laparoscopic gastric banding results in significant weight reduction and a low incidence of gastric prolapse. Gastric prolapse has no difference in 1-year postoperative median BMI when compared with patients who did not prolapse.

Obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is an inflammatory biomarker that has been shown to be an independent predictor for cardiovascular risk. The aim of the current study was to examine the changes in cardiovascular risk profile in morbidly obese patients who underwent laparoscopic gastric stapling procedures (bypass and sleeve) compared with laparoscopic gastric banding. Levels of hs-CRP were measured preoperatively and at 12 to 24 months post-operatively. Based on hs-CRP levels, cardiovascular risk was categorized as low (less than 1 mg/L), moderate (1 to 3 mg/L), or high (greater than 3 mg/L). A total of 52 patients underwent gastric stapling procedures and 49 underwent gastric banding and both had preoperative and postoperative hs-CRP levels measured. There were no significant differences in age, gender, or preoperative body mass index (BMI) between groups. At baseline, 48.0 per cent of patients undergoing gastric stapling and 38.8 per cent of patients undergoing gastric banding had moderate or high cardiovascular risk. BMI at 24 months was significantly lower in the gastric stapling compared with the gastric banding group (30.4 ± 5.4 vs 36.1 ± 5.5 kg/m2, respectively, P < 0.01). Of the patients with elevated cardiovascular risk, 64.0 per cent of gastric stapling versus 57.8 per cent of gastric banding patients had a reduction in risk category at 12 to 24 months follow-up, whereas 1.9 per cent of patients undergoing gastric stapling versus 4.1 per cent of patients undergoing gastric banding had an increase in risk category. The mean reduction in hs-CRP level for patients with elevated cardiovascular risk was greater for gastric stapling compared with gastric banding procedures (-1.10 ± 0.94 mg/L vs -0.67 ± 0.82 mg/L, respectively, P < 0.05). Cardiovascular risk improved in the majority of patients after bariatric surgery, but a more pronounced improvement occurred in patients who underwent gastric stapling procedures.
