Topic: Assessment of patients for bariatric surgery
Abstract:
Bariatric surgery is an effective intervention for severe obesity, but proper patient selection is crucial for optimal outcomes. This review examines the assessment process for bariatric surgery candidates, including medical, psychological, and nutritional evaluations. Medical assessment focuses on obesity-related comorbidities, surgical risk stratification, and contraindications. Psychological evaluation identifies mental health conditions that may impact postoperative adherence, while nutritional assessment ensures patients are prepared for dietary changes. Emerging factors, such as genetic predispositions and gut microbiome influences, are also being explored to enhance patient selection. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to improving long-term weight loss success and minimizing complications.
