Area of Science:

  • Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery
  • Obesity Medicine
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Bariatric surgery is the most effective long-term treatment for morbid obesity and type-2 diabetes mellitus.
  • The field has advanced significantly, with reduced risks and improved outcomes.
  • Recent guideline updates have broadened surgical indications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an update on the current state of bariatric surgery.
  • Highlighting the latest outcomes, advancements, and challenges in the field.
  • Discussing new indications and emerging treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent updates from professional societies (ASMBS, IFSO).
  • Analysis of the popularity and efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy.
  • Examination of quality improvement programs (MBSAQIP) and ERAS protocols.
  • Consideration of new pharmacotherapies like GLP-1 agonists.

Main Results:

  • Updated indications for bariatric surgery now include BMI ≥35 kg/m² regardless of comorbidities and BMI 30-34.9 kg/m² with comorbidities.
  • Sleeve gastrectomy is the most frequently performed procedure due to its safety and efficacy.
  • MBSAQIP and ERAS protocols have enhanced patient care quality.
  • GLP-1 agonists are a new option for obesity, but their role alongside bariatric surgery is undefined.

Conclusions:

  • Bariatric surgery remains a cornerstone for managing severe obesity and related conditions.
  • Ongoing research and integration of evidence-based practices are crucial.
  • Tailored patient approaches and consideration of new therapies are needed for optimal outcomes.
