Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND AIM:Accelerated weight gain after (adeno)tonsillectomy has been reported in a number of studies. Whether (adeno)tonsillectomy is also a risk factor for development of overweight is unknown. We investigated serum leptin and plasma ghrelin levels before and 1 year after (adeno)tonsillectomy operation in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We studied 31 patients and 29 age- and sex-matched healthy control children. Auxologic evaluation and biochemical investigations were performed before surgery and 1 year later. RESULTS:One year after surgery, height SDS (p = 0.001) and weight SDS (p = 0.004) were significantly increased in both groups. No changes in BMI SDS (p = 0.105) were observed. Preoperative leptin levels were significantly higher in patients than controls (p < 0.001). IGF-1, IGFBP-3, HOMA-IR and ghrelin values were not significantly different between the groups. One year after surgery, IGF-1 (p = 0.001) and IGFBP-3 (p = 0.001) were significantly increased, while ghrelin (p < 0.001) was significantly decreased. Postoperative leptin levels of patients were also significantly higher than preoperative values (p = 0.036). CONCLUSION:Significantly higher leptin levels in patients compared to control both before and 1 year after an obstruction-relieving surgery suggested that higher levels might be due to leptin resistance in these patients. Based on our findings we recommend measurement of leptin levels longitudinally for at least 5 years after adenotonsillectomy.
