Abstract
BACKGROUND
The alarming rise in the worldwide prevalence of obesity is paralleled by an increasing burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Metabolic surgery is the most effective means of obtaining substantial and durable weight loss in individual obese patients with T2DM. There are randomized trials that justify the inclusion of metabolic surgery into the treatment algorithm for patients with T2DM, but remission rates of T2DM after metabolic surgery can display great variability.
AIM
To discuss the most commonly used surgical options including vertical sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric banding, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch.
METHODS
We also report from observational and randomized controlled studies on rate of remission of T2DM after the surgical procedures.
RESULTS
In light of the recent findings, metabolic surgery is a safe and effective treatment option for obese patient with T2DM, but further studies are needed to clarify better the rate of diabetes remission.
CONCLUSION
In light of the recent findings, metabolic surgery is a safe and effective treatment option for obese patients with T2DM, but further studies are needed to clarify better the rate of diabetes remission.
