Brief Summary:
Obesity has become an increasingly common health problem today. In this context, although many anatomical, physiological and metabolic problems arising from obesity in morbid obese patients are tried to be solved in daily practice, it has been proven that eliminating obesity is sufficient in the treatment of many diseases. When we look at the literature, it is known that morbid obesity causes deformation and excessive wear in most body joints. When morbid obesity disappears, it has been shown that the previously existing neck, waist, back and knee pains regress.
The aim of this study is to reveal the Cobb angle change in morbidly obese patients who achieved rapid weight loss after obesity surgery; To investigate the effect of weight loss on vertebral anatomy.
Detailed Description:
90 morbidly obese patients who underwent Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy were included in the study. Cobb angle measurements were made by a radiologist included in the study from the PA chest radiographs of the operated patients in the preoperative period and in the first postoperative year, and they were recorded in a previously prepared database. In addition, in the preoperative period and postoperative first year evaluations of the patients; Patient satisfaction questionnaire in terms of low back pain, back pain, neck pain, and the value in% EWL of weight given after surgery were also recorded in the database.
