Background:

• Bariatric surgery is common in the UK.
• One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is an increasingly utilized bariatric procedure.
• Nurses require specific knowledge for OAGB patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

• To outline the anatomical and physiological changes following OAGB.
• To describe routine short- and long-term patient care after OAGB.
• To guide the identification and management of OAGB complications.

Main Methods:

• Literature review on OAGB.
• Synthesis of current clinical practice guidelines.
• Clinical case study analysis (implied).

Main Results:

• Detailed description of OAGB's anatomical modifications.
• Guidance on pre-operative, immediate post-operative, and long-term follow-up care.
• Information on common and rare complications, including diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Conclusions:

• OAGB necessitates specialized nursing knowledge.
• Effective patient management requires understanding anatomical shifts and potential complications.
• This article serves as a resource for healthcare providers caring for OAGB patients.
