Keyhole surgery can cure diabetes: Indian doctors

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Doctors at a specialized hospital in Kerala treating diabetes using keyhole surgery say more than 95 percent of their patients left the hospital fully cured of diabetes after treatment.
"It is now clear that intestinal hormone GLP1 (glucagons-like peptide-1) levels can regulate the insulin release from pancreas. Hence by increasing GLP1 levels in the gut the diabetes gets controlled," said Dr Hafeez Rahman, chairman of the Sunrise Hospital in Kochi, and a well-known keyhole surgeon and gynecologist.
"Keyhole surgeries like sleeve gastrectomy and Ileal interposition are found to stimulate GLP1 secretion and give permanent cure for diabetes," added Dr. Rahman, also a visiting specialist at the Medcare Hospital in Dubai who has completed 48,000 laparoscopic surgeries since 1992.
These procedures were conducted on patients having more than ideal weight and those with diabetes of shorted duration of a few years as well as those who had already damaged their end organs like kidney, eye and heart.
"It is highly appreciable for a diabetic patient to know that cure is possible," said Dr. Rahman. "It is an astonishing fact that the number of diabetic patients are increasing day by day. Asians especially Indians have high incidence of diabetes due to genetic reasons. Life style changes and food habits contribute to this increase".
Diabetes affects all organs in the body like eye, brain, heart, kidney and limbs. Chronic renal problems and increased myocardial infarctions are also associated with diabetes, contributing to early death.
According to him, only 33 percent of people who are taking regular medication including insulin get good control of diabetes mellitus (DM). The rest are facing increased risk of DM complications.
"Studies have shown that bringing down the HbA1C even by one unit reduce death rate by 21 percent, eye and kidney disease 37 percent and heart attack 14 percent. So it is very important to keep blood sugar levels to normalcy," he said.
HbA1C is the test which gives accurate value of diabetic control over past few months and HbA1C tests for more than six months is not ideal. Besides diabetics control, control of cholesterol, sleep apnoea, acidity, joint pains, cardiac disease and kidney disorders are also found to be increasing.
"All these procedures being done by laparoscopic means on the patients are quite comfortable for them and they can resume normal activity within a few days," he said. "Tremendous improvement in infertility treatment was also seen in them".
One of the pioneers in the field, Dr Rahman has taught and provided his expertise in this technique in countries like Malaysia, UAE, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa and Bangladesh as well. He claims to have done perhaps the largest number of laparoscopic surgeries (48,000) in the world and more than 13,000 laparoscopic hysterectomies.
