ABSTRACT
In more than half a century of the development of bariatric metabolic surgery, a variety of classic surgical methods have been formulated. However, the improvement and innovation of bariatric metabolic surgery has never stopped. The replacement of new and old surgical methods in clinical application and development reflects the vitality and progress in the field of bariatric metabolic surgery, and also promotes the development of bariatric metabolic surgery to the best balance between benefits and risks. In the early stages, studies in metabolic surgery are more inclined to confirm the efficacy, safety and mechanism of classical procedures. In recent years, metabolic surgeons around the world have become more inclined to focus on the exploration and innovation of new procedures. In addition, the improvement of biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch and the sleeve gastrectomy plus procedures have gradually become hot spots for surgical innovation. However, the new techniques are diverse, scattered and partially overlapping. The authors make a comment on this content, in order to provide assistance to clinical and scientific research.
ABSTRACT
Analysis of the layout and proportion of classic and innovative surgical procedures of bariatric and metabolic surgery throughout the world, the sleeve gastrectomy is beco-ming the most accepted and respected surgical procedure with its increasingly prominent advan-tages, and its operation number has even exceeded the "gold standard" surgery of the roux-en-Y gastric bypass. This trend is even more pronounced in China. With a small number of physicians lacking experience in gastrointestinal surgery and more and more young physicians joining in the field of bariatric and metabolic surgery, operation related complications and the consequences of insufficient perioperative management experience have occurred successively in clinical practice, such as gastrointestinal leakage, bleeding, lumen and anastomotic stenosis, internal hernia and obstruction, venous thromboembolism, etc. Bariatric and metabolic surgery is a branch of gastro-intestinal surgery, and physicians in the field should have the ability to prevent, predict and manage short- and long-term complications after surgery. The authors believe that through the comprehen-sive evaluation of laboratory indexes, patient signs and related examinations, physicians should have the basic qualities of decisively choosing the surgical timing, choosing the right decision-making, and taking effective measures.
ABSTRACT
Bariatric and metabolic surgery has been in China for more than 30 years, which has developed rapidly. However, it can be predicted that there will be many opportunities and challenges in the future development of bariatric and metabolic surgery, including the replacement of classic surgical methods, the guarantee of surgical safety, the brave exploration of new surgical methods, the decisive abandonment of bad surgical methods, the implementation of surgical standardization, and the breakthrough of basic and clinical research all mean more efforts. With the continuous rise of the incidence rate of metabolic syndrome and the continuous improvement of people′s health needs, these opportunities and challenges are particularly significant. Bariatric and metabolic surgery will also play a crucial role in overcoming obesity and metabolic diseases.
ABSTRACT
Bariatric and metabolic surgery originated in the 1950s. After continuous verifications and improvements by bariatric and metabolic surgeons all over the world, bariatric surgery has been recognized as the 'gold standard’ for the treatment of metabolic diseases such as obesity. In the development of more than half a century, bariatric and metabolic surgery have formed a variety of classic surgical methods. At the same time, the new methods of bariatric surgery are emerging. Among them, the additional surgery based on sleeve gastrectomy has become a research hotspot. In the process of clinical applications of various new bariatric surgery methods, bariatric and metabolic surgeons should be objective, accurate, realistic, and move forward on the basis of criticizing and absorbing. The authors investigate the influence of new surgical methods on the development of bariatric and metabolic surgery.
