Abstract:
Purpose Bariatric surgery can improve non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Yet data on the efect on fbrosis are insufcient and controversial. This work endeavored to evaluate the safety of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in cases that have compensated non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-related cirrhosis and its impact on fbrosis stage. Methods The current prospective work involved 132 cases with Child-A NASH-related cirrhosis sufering from morbid obesity scheduled for LSG. They were subjected to preoperative assessment, wedge biopsy, and ultrasound-guided true-cut liver biopsy after 30 months. Patients were included if proved to have F4 fbrosis initially. The liver condition was assessed based on the NALFD Activity Score (NAS). The primary outcome measure was the impact of LSG on fbrosis stage and its relation to weight loss. Results The analysis included only 71 patients who completed the 30-month follow-up period. By the end of the follow-up interval, there was a substantial weight loss with a reasonable resolution of comorbidities. The median NAS decreased signifcantly from 6 (1–8) to 3 (0–6) after surgery. Fibrosis score regressed to F2 in 19 patients (26.8%) and F3 in 29 (40.8%). Patients with improved scores had a signifcantly higher amount of weight loss (p<0.001). Improvement was more frequent in males (p=0.007). By 30 months after treatment, 53.8% of cases with borderline NASH and 36.8% of those with probable NASH showed complete resolution, and 44.7% of patients with NASH showed improvement. Steatosis improved in 74.6% of patients (p<0.001). Conclusion In patients with NASH-related liver cirrhosis of Child class A, LSG may be a secure approach for the management of morbid obesity. It has a long-term beneft for both obesity and liver condition with signifcant improvement of steatosis, steatohepatitis, and fbrosis.
