Introduction

The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is currently still the most preferable surgical intervention to treat morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The total number of bariatric procedures was approximately 54 490 from 31 countries in the 3 calendar years 2013–2015, of which 49.4% were RYGB procedures [1]. But still, there is no consensus on the ideal gastric bypass limb lengths. Reported lengths of the biliopancreatic limb (BPL) and alimentary limb (AL) varied widely from 10–250 to 35–250 cm, respectively, in a survey of 215 American bariatric surgeons by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery [2].

A number of comparative studies have been performed with variable lengths of the AL, and they show controversy in the effect on weight loss [316]. A few studies have revealed the relationship between the lengths of the bypassed limb and the remission of T2DM. Pinheiro et al. [12] reported that patients with longer AL and BPL achieved greater type 2 diabetes control and lipid disorder improvement. Kaska et al. [17] found that a longer BPL can intensify the anti-diabetic effect of RYGB. However, with the extension of AL and BPL length, the common limb (CL) becomes shorter. Many authors also have demonstrated that weight loss and remission of T2DM after RYGB are strongly associated with a short common limb. Unfortunately, the shorter the common limb, the more malnutrition and metabolic complications can be expected [4, 18, 19]. Therefore, how to choose the length of the bypass limb has a vital impact on balancing the efficacy of surgery and nutritional complications in RYGB.

Aim

Generally, an AL length of 100 to 150 cm and a BPL length of 25 to 100 cm with an unmeasured CL length were recommended [2, 20]. In this study, we kept the total bypass (AL + BPL) lengths consistent in two groups, and extended the BPL length in order to evaluate its clinical efficacy in T2DM remission.

Material and methods

Patient selection and follow-up

Eighty-four patients with uncontrolled T2DM who underwent RYGB at our hospital from May 2010 to April 2017 were retrieved from a prospectively designed database. The protocol for this study was approved by the Ethics Committee and institutional review at our hospitals and was compliant with the Helsinki Declaration.

The inclusion criteria were as follows: diagnosis of T2DM or other important co-morbidity based on the criteria of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) [21], from 18 to 60 years of age, body mass index (BMI) > 25 kg/m2 (based on Chinese obesity and type 2 diabetes surgical treatment guidelines (2014)). A patient would be excluded if he or she had previously undergone bariatric surgery or other complex abdominal surgery, as were those with established diagnoses of type 1 diabetes, latent adult autoimmune diabetes, malignancy, pregnancy, neurologic disease or cardiovascular disease.

Prior to the operation, each patient was assessed by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) comprising a surgeon, endocrinologist, anesthetist, psychiatrist and dietician. Moreover, each patient underwent a routine preoperative workup and counseling in addition to a detailed diabetic workup. Patients were followed up at the outpatient endocrinology clinic with weight registration and metabolic (glucose and lipid) surveillance. The date sets of baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery and annually thereafter were collected.

Surgical procedure

Laparoscopic RYGB was performed by a single surgeon; the technical aspects of the procedures were the same. For LRYGB, five trocars were used, constructing a 25–30 ml gastric pouch, the gastrojejunostomy was created by a staple technique with an anastomosis 1.5–2.0 cm in diameter, and the integrity of the anastomosis was tested with methylene blue solution infused through an orogastric tube. The length of the biliopancreatic limb was 20–50 cm in the short biliopancreatic limb (S-BPL) group and 100 cm in the long biliopancreatic limb (L-BPL) group, with alimentary limb values of 75–150 cm and 100 cm in S-BPL and L-BPL respectively (Figure 1). The mesenteric and Petersen defects were closed.

In longer BPL group patients, the length of the biliopancreatic limb is 100 cm and the alimentary limb is 100 cm

Outcomes

The primary end point was the proportion of patients with a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level of 6% or less (with or without diabetes medications) for at least 12 months [22]. Secondary end points included levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour postprandial glucose (2hPG), fasting C-peptide, HbA1c, serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), arterial blood pressure, BMI and waist circumference.

Statistical analysis

Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 17.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA). Graphs were made using a commercially available software package (GraphPad Prism for Windows). Baseline comparisons were performed using the χ2 test, paired t test, and one-way ANOVA. Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, continuous variables were compared using Student ANOVA for repeated measurement, and a two-tailed p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

Patients

We retrospectively evaluated the results of 84 patients with T2DM who underwent laparoscopic RYGB, including 38 (45.2%) women and 46 (54.8%) men. They were divided into two groups based on the length of BPL. Forty patients were enrolled in the S-BPL group, including 30 cm (n = 1), 40 cm (n = 1), and 50 cm (n = 38). The L-BPL group consisted of 44 patients who received 100-cm limbs. The number of follow-up patients was 51 (60.7%) at 1 year, 40 (47.6%) at 2 years, 13 (15.5%) at 3 years. The baseline patient characteristics are shown in Table I. Comparing the two groups, there were no significant differences in age, duration of diabetes, blood pressure, or glucolipid metabolism. However, the patients of the S-BPL group had significantly greater weight (85.91 ±20.32 vs. 76.25 ±16.99 kg, p = 0.038), higher BMI (31.87 ±6.61 vs. 28.7 ±4.29 kg/m2, p = 0.005) and higher C-peptide level (2.01 ±2 vs. 1.08 ±0.66 ng/ml, p = 0.01).

Complications

All procedures were successfully performed by laparoscopic techniques. There was no early or late mortality. Eight (9.5%) patients developed early or late complications, including 1 patient with gastrojejunal anastomotic leakage, 2 patients with gastrojejunal anastomotic stenosis, 2 patients with anastomotic ulcer, 2 patients with anemia and 1 patient with severe malnutrition. All such complications were cured through conservative treatment.

Glycemic control

In both groups, the FPG, 2hPG, HbA1c% and C-peptide levels steadily decreased in the first 6 months (p < 0.05), and remained stable during follow-up (Figure 2). Although a trend of better glucose metabolic control was observed in the L-BPL group, there was no significant difference at any point between the S-BPL and L-BPL groups (Figures 2 A–C). In 1-year follow-up after surgery, C-peptide in the S-BPL group was higher than that of the L-BPL group (p < 0.05) (Figure 2 D).

The remission of T2DM at one year is shown in Table II. Eleven (52.3%) patients in the S-BPL group and 17 (56.7%) patients in the L-BPL group achieved complete remission of diabetes mellitus with HbA1c < 6.0% (p = 0.762), and 18 (85.7%) patients in the S-BPL group and 26 (86.7%) patients in the L-BPL group achieving improvement of diabetes mellitus with HbA1c < 7.0% (p = 0.923).

Weight loss

Patients in both groups showed a significant mean weight, BMI and waist circumference reduction. Three years after surgery, the mean weight had declined from 85.91 ±20.32 to 59.36 ±10.94 (p = 0.007), BMI had declined from 31.87 ±6.61 to 23.23 ±2.02 (p = 0.01), and waist circumference had decreased from 102.21 ±12.65 to 80 ±6.55 (p < 0.001) in the S-BPL group. In the L-BPL group, the mean weight decreased significantly from 76.25 ±16.99 to 55.65 ±6.48 (p < 0.001), BMI decreased from 28.7 ±4.29 to 22.21 ±1.33 (p < 0.001), and HbA1c decreased from 95.85 ±11.14 to 81.42 ±6.6 (p < 0.001). The changes in weight, BMI and waist circumferences among the subjects in both groups are shown in Figures 3 A–C. The changes in weight, BMI and waist circumference were not different at any point between the S-BPL and L-BPL groups, except in the 1-month post-surgery follow-up, when BMI was higher in the S-BPL group than the L-BPL group (p < 0.05).

Lipid levels and blood pressure

Post-operative serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) showed a sharp fall in the first month in both groups, recovered slightly at 1 year and remained stable in the following years (Figures 4 A, B). The serum HDL and LDL cholesterol remained stable in the follow-up period (Figures 4 C, D). The serum levels of TC, TG, HDL, and LDL were similar at each time point for both groups (p > 0.05).

Discussion

RYGB is considered to be a restrictive and malabsorptive procedure, creating a small gastric pouch (usually 15–30 ml) which limits the amount of food that can be ingested, and bypassing of the duodenum and part of the small bowel provides a degree of malabsorption, together resulting in weight loss and glycemic control. Particularly, the “foregut and hindgut hypotheses” described by Rubino and Cummings explain the hormonal and metabolic benefits of bypassing the duodenum and part of the proximal jejunum and accelerating the undigested food to the distal intestine [2325], which plays an important role in the treatment of T2DM.

Over the past decades, researchers have sought to achieve greater weight loss by reducing the pouch size and lengthening the limb length. A number of studies have focused on the effect of the AL length and weight loss [26, 27], while less research has been performed to explore the effect of various BPL on weight loss and T2DM remission [12, 17]. In the study by Dallegrave Marchesini [28] and Stefanidis et al. [29], a better anti-diabetic effect and a higher T2DM remission rate were demonstrated in patients with a longer BPL, not with a longer AL. An editorial comment indicated that manipulating BP limb length may hold a key in optimizing the effect of RYGB [30]. There is a case reported by Kao et al. [31], a woman (BMI: 34.4 kg/m2) with T2DM, who had undergone RYGB three times. For the first RYGB, BPL was set at 150 cm, and AL was 100 cm, after 18 months, her BMI and HbA1c were 25.2 kg/m2 and 4.6%, but frequent diarrhea occurred and medical treatment for this was unsuccessful. So she underwent a laparoscopic revision, bypass limbs were shortened (BPL: 40 cm, AL: 70 cm), her diarrhea improved, but T2DM recurred immediately after the reoperation. Subsequently, a second revision procedure was performed again, during which the bypassed limbs were lengthened (BPL: 100 cm, AL: 70 cm). Eventually, T2DM remission was achieved again after the last operation. Therefore, the BPL length plays a key role in the treatment of type 2 diabetes after RYGB.

Also, some previous studies have proved that the degree of malabsorption after gastric bypass is influenced mainly by the length of the CL rather than the lengths of the AL or BPL [29]. The better long-term weight loss and type 2 diabetes control described by some studies when longer AL and BPL are used are likely a reflection of the shortening common channel [12, 32], but the shorter the common limb, the more malnutrition and metabolic complications can be expected [18, 19]. Unfortunately, few studies have taken into consideration the length of the common channel, so we have a limited understanding of how long the common channel should be to achieve the best weight loss and glucose control outcomes without increasing the incidence of nutritional complications. Many studies have shown that the total small bowel length can be extremely variable; a range of 300 to 900 cm is a widely accepted figure [27]. Therefore, we have to consider the total small bowel length in RYGB, given that the three limb lengths (AL, BPL and CL) are interdependent; the longer AL and/or BPL are, the shorter the CL becomes.

In this study, the length of total bypass (AL + BPL) was set at 200 cm in most patients, with unknown length of the common limb, and a few patients in the early stages of the operation with a short bypassed limb (range: 100–150 cm), so that we have kept long enough CL to reduce the risk related to the high degree of malabsorption from too short common limb. We wondered whether extending the BPL can improve clinical efficacy in T2DM remission. In a recent evidence-based review, Mahawar et al. came to the conclusion that RYGB achieves optimum results when the combined length of BPL or AL is between 100 and 200 cm. Furthermore, small differences in the proportion of BPL and AL do not result in significantly different outcomes. Our research also verified the conclusion. In our study, there was a trend of more reduction in the glucose metabolism and weight loss for the L-BPL group, but there was no significant difference at any point in the S-BPL and L-BPL groups. So future studies should examine greater differences in the lengths of BPL and AL.

The improvements of diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia play important roles in reducing microvascular disease, cardiovascular complications and all-cause mortality. In T2DM patients, lipid abnormalities are thought to be secondary to obesity, insulin resistance, and decreased insulin production [33]. Decreasing LDL cholesterol and blood pressure reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in populations of patients with diabetes [34]. In our study, lipid metabolism and blood pressure were improved in both groups of patients, although there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Thus, we concluded that RYGB can improve the patients’ cardiovascular risk factors in both groups, which may in turn improve their life expectancy in the coming years.

There was no mortality and no need of reoperation in this study, and the overall morbidity of 9.5% was similar to large series in the literature, which reported an overall complication rate of 5–19% [35]. A previous study reported a higher internal hernia rate in patients with a longer limb length [9]. The mesenteric and Petersen defects were closed to prevent these hernias in our hospital. A patient with severe malnutrition was cured through conservative treatment 1 year after surgery in this study. Also there were reports of 2 cases of severe malnutrition after mini-gastric bypass surgery [19, 36]; unfortunately, 1 patient expired after all resuscitative measures were unsuccessful. Those case reports informed us that individualized treatment and long-term follow-up play a very important role in the whole treatment.

This study had several limitations. First, the relatively minor change (50 cm vs. 100 cm) in the proportion of BPL may have limited the contribution to glucose control and weight loss. Secondly, the case number was relatively small and 3-year follow-up was not long enough to determine late complications and maintenance of diabetes remission. Last and most important, we failed to take into consideration the CL, which could be a determinant factor for malabsorption.

Conclusions

RYGB is an effective procedure for the treatment of T2DM. With the total bypass (AL + BPL) lengths consistent, lengthening of the BPL from 30 to 100 cm did not affect post-RYGB glucose control and weight loss.
