The aim of this study was to compare carotid intima-media thicknesses in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy patients preoperatively and at the end of the first postoperative year.
Obesity is not only a disease in itself, but also predisposes to many other diseases. Cardiac diseases are one of the systems that obesity predisposes to. Obesity has been found to increase the risk of cardiac disease by increasing carotid intima-media thickness in patients with obesity. Surgery is known to be the most effective treatment for obesity and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is the most common bariatric surgery procedure. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy may reduce the risk of cardiac disease by reducing carotid intima-media thickness in patients with obesity through effective weight loss.

carotid intima-media thickness
The primary outcome of the study was to compare carotid intima-media thickness at the end of the first postoperative year after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) with baseline carotid intima-media thickness in patients with obesity. The investigators will measure carotid intima-media thickness with carotid doppler ultrasound before LSG and at the end of the first year after LSG and compare the results.
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of the first year after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
