Abstract :
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the changes in respiratory functions, which can occur together with weight changes in the preoperative and postoperative period in patients who have undergone obesity surgery. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective study all patients (n=55) who had undergone obesity surgery during the first three months of 2013 were examined and 25 female patients (mean age ±SD, 35.7±7.5 year) who met the required criteria (lack of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, congestive heart failure and endocrine disorders) were included. A comparison was made between the preoperative and postoperative 6th month body weight, body mass index and respiratory function test parameters. Results: Mean weight measured in the preoperative and 6th postoperative months was 118.6±13.8 and 90.9±13.3 respectively while body mass index was 43.5±4.3 and 33.4±5.1 kg/m², respectively (p 0.001 for both). Changes in all the pulmonary function test parameters between the preoperative to the 6th month postoperative period were also significant. Conclusion: Patients who had undergone obesity surgery, had a decrease in body mass index. In addition, they showed improvement in the respiratory function test parameters in the postoperative period.
