Abstract

Background Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a definitive solution for morbid obesity and its related co-morbidities. Cholelithiasis is a postoperative complication of LSG. The use of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) after LSG is a proposed solution to reduce the incidence of cholelithiasis. Objective To evaluate the effect of UDCA prophylaxis on cholelithiasis following LSG in morbidly obese patients. Setting Two university hospitals in Egypt, Cairo, and Beni Suef Universities' hospitals. Methods This prospective study was conducted between July 2015 and March 2018 and included 200 patients scheduled for LSG. They were randomly divided into 2 groups. The UDCA group received a postoperative prophylaxis regimen for prevention of cholelithiasis in the form of 250 mg twice daily of UDCA for 6 months. The control group did not receive prophylactic treatment. Abdominal ultrasound was done at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months for all patients to detect cholelithiasis. The primary outcome measure was cholelithiasis. Results Only 6% of the UDCA group developed cholelithiasis compared with 40% in the control group (P Conclusion UDCA treatment for 6 months after LSG is effective in the prevention of cholelithiasis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
