Abstract:

 Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of bariatric surgery BS by evaluating preoperative and postoperative sexual functions in obese men undergoing BS. Materials and Methods: Male patients who underwent BS due to obesity between January 2013 and September 2021 were included in this observational study. Patients underwent standardized laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. For sexual function, the International Index of Erectile Function IIEF inquiry form was filled in before, and one year after BS. In addition, the age, Body Mass Index BMI and Female Sexual Function Index FSFI scores of the female partners were recorded before and after the operation. Follow-up weight, waist circum-ference, serum biochemistry and hormone values of the patients were re-evaluated in the 6-12 month period after the operation. Results: A total of 1027 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the male patients was 37.3312.40 years, and the mean preoperative BMI was 38.513.98kgm2 35.20-49.80. The pos-toperative follow-up period of the patients was 9.722.98 months. There was a significant increase in the IIEF all sub-dimensions scores of the patients after the operation p0.001 for each. An increase in FSFI scores was found in female partners after surgery 21.676.78 vs. 27.555.48; p0.001. The change in IIEF-EF scores was moderately inversely correlated with partner BMI, mo-derately correlated with vitamin D levels, and linearly correlated with testosterone levels p0.034, r-0.434; p0.012, r0.537 and p0.027, r0.476, respectively. Conclusions: BS provides a significant increase in the sexual functions of obese men. This increase shows a significant relationship with partner BMI and vitamin D levels.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bariatrik cerrahi BC geçiren obez erkeklerde ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası cinsel işlevleri değerlendirerek BCnin etkinliğini incelemektir. Materyal ve Metod: Bu gözlemsel çalışmaya Ocak 2013 ile Eylül 2021 arasında obezite nedeniyle BC geçiren erkek hastalar dahil edildi. Hastalara standardize laparoskopik Roux-en-Y gastrik bypass veya laparoskopik sleeve gastrektomi uygulandı. Cinsel işlev için, BCden önce ve bir yıl sonra Uluslararası Ereksiyon Fonksiyonu İndeksi IIEF sorgulama formu dolduruldu. Ayrıca, kadın partnerlerin yaşı, Vücut Kitle İndeksi BMI ve Kadın Cinsel İşlev İndeksi FSFI skorları operasyon öncesi ve sonrası kaydedildi. Hastaların takip kilosu, bel çevresi, serum biyokimyası ve hormon değerleri operasyon-dan sonraki 6-12 aylık dönemde yeniden değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 1027 hasta dahil edildi. Erkek hastaların yaş ortalaması 37.3312.4 yıl, ameliyat öncesi ortalama BMI 38.513.98 kgm2 35.20-49.80 idi. Ameliyat sonrası takip süresi 9.722.98 ay idi. Hastaların IIEF tüm alanlarda skorlarında ameliyattan sonra anlamlı artış vardı her biri için p0.001. Ameliyat sonrası kadın partnerlerin FSFI skorlarında artış olduğu saptandı 21.676.78e karşı 27.555.48; p0.001. IIEF-EF skorlarındaki değişimin partner BMI ile orta dü-zeyde ters korelasyon gösterdiği, D vitamini düzeyleri ile orta düzeyde korelasyon gösterdiği ve testosteron düzeyleri ile doğrusal korelasyon gösterdiği bulundu sırasıyla p0.034, r-0.434; p0.012, r0,537 ve p0.027, r0.476. Sonuç: BC obez erkeklerin cinsel fonksiyonlarında önemli bir artış sağlar. Bu artış partner BMI ve D vitamini seviyeleri ile önemli bir ilişki göstermektedir.
