Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture on weight loss in obese patients pre-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(LSG).

Methods

Clinical data of 50 obese patients who underwent LSG in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital from August 2018 to May 2021 were included and analyzed. There were 25 cases received electroacupuncture combined with LSG (electroacupuncture combined with sleeve stomach group) and 25 cases received LSG (sleeve gastrectomy group). The clinical data of preoperative weight loss, length of LSG, hospital stay, complication rate and postoperative excess weight loss percentage were compared between the two groups.

Results

The preoperative weight loss effect of electroacupuncture combined with sleeve stomach group was significantly better than sleeve stomach group. The operation time, total hospital stay, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complication rate of electroacupuncture combined with sleeve stomach group were significantly lower than those of sleeve gastrectomy group. The %EWL of electroacupuncture combined with sleeve stomach group was significantly better than that of sleeve gastrectomy group at 6 and 12 months after LSG.

Conclusion

Electroacupuncture can significantly reduce the preoperative weight of obese patients before LSG, shorten the operation time and improve the postoperative weight loss effect. However, further RCTs of multi-center and large sample are still needed for verification.
