The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between individuals who had a sleeve gastrectomy and their knee discomfort, as well as what factors could influence knee pain after a sleeve gastrectomy.
The general population of Saudi Arabia was studied in this cross-sectional survey, which took place from August 2021 to February 2022. Only people who had had a sleeve gastrectomy and were experiencing knee discomfort were included in the research.
The results revealed that bariatric surgery had improved knee pain status in most of the participants (76%) while (12.1%) complained that the pain worsened after the surgery. The results also showed that nearly half of our participants (49.8%) that complain of knee pain have lost more than 35 kg after bariatric surgery, which illustrates the impact of a number of kilograms (kg) lost after bariatric surgery. Only (12.8%) of the participants considered physiotherapy as an intervention for their knee pain. Also, the results showed that severe pain was considerably more prevalent in the older age group and those with concomitant chronic disease.
Our data revealed that a small percentage of participants had worsening knee discomfort, which might be connected to inactivity following sleeve gastrectomy surgery. As a result, we urge that further clinical studies be conducted to learn more about the exacerbation of knee pain after a gastrectomy.
本研究的目的是探讨接受袖状胃切除术的个体与膝关节疼痛之间是否存在关联，以及哪些因素可能影响袖状胃切除术后的膝关节疼痛。
本横断面调查于2021年8月至2022年2月对沙特阿拉伯的普通人群进行。研究仅纳入接受过袖状胃切除术且正在经历膝关节疼痛的人群。
结果显示，大部分参与者（76%）的膝关节疼痛状况在减肥手术后有所改善，而（12.1%）的参与者抱怨手术后疼痛加剧。结果还表明，近一半（49.8%）抱怨膝关节疼痛的参与者在减肥手术后体重减轻超过35千克，这说明了减肥手术后体重减轻的影响。只有（12.8%）的参与者将物理治疗视为缓解膝关节疼痛的干预措施。此外，结果显示，严重疼痛在老年人群体和伴有慢性病的人群中更为普遍。
我们的数据显示，一小部分参与者的膝关节疼痛加剧，这可能与袖状胃切除术后的不活动有关。因此，我们敦促开展进一步的临床研究，以更多地了解胃切除术后膝关节疼痛加剧的情况。
