Background: Bariatric surgery is an important option when life-style modification, diet, and medical treatment are inadequate in lose weight. Bariatric surgical methods have gained popularity in recent years. In this paper, we compared the Magenstrasse and Mill (M&M) technique, with performing a simpler and more physiological type of gastroplasty without implanted foreign material such as band and reservoir, to the Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG). This study aimed to determine the effects of the M&M for obesity on the rabbits in comparison with the SG, which is accepted as a standard bariatric technique with creating a gastric tube.
Methods: The study was approved by the University of Van Yuzuncu Yil Regional Committee of Ethics (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee). Twenty New Zealand Rabbits underwent operations. After prestudy with 2 rabbits, the remaining 18 rabbits were divided into 2 groups; Group 1 (SG) and Group 2 (M&M).
Results: Group 1 were observed to lose weight in all, while Group 2; 2 of them died, 5 of them lost weight, 2 of them gained weight. When the pre- and post-operative weight of the rabbits were compared; preoperative median weight values of 9 rabbits in Group 1 were significantly higher than postoperative values. On the other hand, there was no significant change in the mean weight of Group 2 of 7 rabbits (living up to 8 weeks). The mean weight of rabbits undergoing standard SG was significantly lower than the M&M technique.
Conclusions: We believe that this animal experimental study, which we conducted intending to compare M&M and SG techniques, will contribute to the literature as a pilot study and determine the survey of M&M technique as a pioneer in other studies.
