SAGES guidelines for the management of comorbidities relevant to metabolic and bariatric surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients who are under consideration for or have undergone metabolic and bariatric surgery frequently have comorbid medical conditions that may make their perioperative care more complex. These recommendations address routine intraoperative cholangiography in patients with bypass-type anatomy, the management of reflux disease after sleeve gastrectomy, and the optimal bariatric procedure for patients with comorbid inflammatory bowel disease.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted including studies published from 1990 to 2022 to address these questions. These results were then presented to a panel of bariatric surgeons who formulated recommendations based on the best available evidence or utilized expert opinion when the evidence base was lacking.
