Area of Science:

  • Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery
  • Obesity Epidemiology
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Significant increase in bariatric procedures in Poland (nearly 500% since 2014).
  • Advancements in surgical technology necessitate guideline updates.
  • Need to align national standards with international guidelines (IFSO, ASMBS).

  • To ensure safe, effective, and evidence-based obesity treatment.
  • To integrate the KOS-BAR program into national obesity care strategy.

Main Methods:

  • Development of consensus by a panel of experts.
  • Review of latest clinical and scientific evidence.
  • Incorporation of international standards and national program insights (KOS-BAR).

Main Results:

  • Revised guidelines cover the full spectrum of bariatric care, from pre-operative to post-operative management.
  • Recommendations include surgical techniques, complication management, and revisional procedures.
  • Guidance on pharmacological treatment and specific patient groups is provided.

Conclusions:

  • The updated recommendations aim to improve patient access to high-quality obesity treatment in Poland.
  • The guidelines support a multidisciplinary approach to managing severe obesity.
  • Alignment with international standards enhances the national healthcare system's response to the obesity epidemic.
