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
Bariatric surgery has been proven to be an effective way to relieve obesity and related metabolic diseases. Complications after bariatric surgery mainly include postoperative bleeding, anastomotic leakage, gastroesophageal reflux, dumping syndrome and so on. Deep vein thrombosis is a rare complication, with low incidence in many literatures. However, deep vein thrombosis is an important cause of pulmonary embolism. Once pulmonary embolism occurs, the difficulty of treatment and mortality are both high. The authors summarize the related literature on venous thromboembolism after bariatric surgery, and briefly describe the strategies of prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism.
