Effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on mobilization of site-specific body adipose depots: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Effect of bariatric surgery on mobilization of site-specific body adipose depots is not well investigated. Herein, the authors conducted a prospective cohort study to assess whether bariatric surgery can differentially affect specific fat storage pools and to further investigate correlations between site-specific fat mobilization and clinical outcomes.

Materials and methods

In this single-centre prospective cohort study, 49 participants underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) from 24 May 2022 to 20 October 2022 and underwent MRI to estimate subcutaneous fat area, visceral fat area (VFA), hepatic and pancreatic proton density fat fraction (PDFF) at baseline and 3 months after surgery. The protocol for this study was registered on clinicaltrials.gov.
