Metabolic complications of bariatric surgery

Abstract:

The databases PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus and Google School were used to perform a systematic review of the state of the art about the metabolic complications resulting from bariatric surgery, reflecting on the need for an adequate preoperative evaluation and compliance with accurate indications taking into account that physiological changes will occur, and that, although they will have a positive impact on most patients, this will produce metabolic disorders that must be taken into account for prevention and pbkp_rediction. An outlined is presented of the surgical principles, objectives and classifications for this type of surgery. The complications are exposed, with emphasis on the metabolic aspects and contraindications of this type of intervention. The bariatric surgery has been concluded to be a suitable procedure for the treatment of obesity and control of some metabolic aspects, but it is capable of producing other new aspects that, if not taken into account, could lead to the failure of its results.
