Obesity has been associated with poor graft and patient survival after kidney transplantation, requiring functional increase of anti-rejection drugs. Weight loss surgery may be a good alternative in this clinical scenario. The aim of this report is to describe the outcomes of bariatric procedures performed in patients after kidney transplantation at our institution. A retrospective chart review of a prospectively collected database was conducted to analyze the outcomes of morbidly obese patients after kidney transplantation who underwent laparoscopic bariatric procedures between November 2004 and October 2007. Our series included five patients who underwent a bariatric procedure following kidney transplantation. All patients were females, with a mean age of 40.8 years ( range 30-48) and mean body mass index (BMI) of 52.2 ( range 48-69). Percent of excess weight loss (%EWL) at 2 years was over 50% for all patients; other comorbidities that might affect postoperative renal function were diabetes mellitus in 2/5 patients, hypertension in 5/5 patients, and chronic heart failure in 1/5 patients. Four patients had laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and one had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. There were no postoperative complications in any patients, and no alteration to the dosages of the immunosuppressant drugs were recorded after bariatric surgery. Laparoscopic bariatric surgical techniques may be used safely and effectively to control obesity in renal transplant patients.
