Mistakes in bariatric surgery and how to avoid them

Francesco Saverio Papadia, Gianni Camerini

Summary

AI Generated

This material discusses common mistakes in managing bariatric surgery patients across preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative periods, acknowledging that high-level evidence is lacking for many aspects of surgical bariatric care.

Bariatric surgery is accepted as a safe and effective treatment for morbid obesity and has gained widespread popularity over the past two decades.
Advancements in surgical techniques, perioperative care, and fellowship-based training have substantially reduced morbidity and mortality rates.
Several controversial aspects of surgical treatments for morbidly obese patients remain to be considered.
The discussion is based on clinical experience rather than high-level evidence, which is lacking for many aspects of surgical bariatric care.
This content would benefit clinicians involved in the care of bariatric surgery candidates and postoperative patients.

Abstract

Nowadays, obesity represents an immense burden for global healthcare. The number of overweight or obese cases has exceeded that of underweight individuals.1 Bariatric surgery is accepted as a safe and effective treatment for patients with morbid obesity and has gained widespread popularity in the past two decades. Advancements in surgical techniques, perioperative care, and fellowship-based bariatric surgery training have substantially reduced morbidity and mortality rates. Nevertheless, several controversial aspects of surgical treatments of morbidly obese patients are still to be considered. Here we discuss the mistakes made when managing patients who are candidates for or have been submitted to bariatric surgery in the preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative periods. As high-level evidence is lacking for many aspects of surgical bariatric care, the discussion is based on our long-standing clinical experience.

Abstract

Abdominal distension and bloating are among the most frequently misunderstood complaints in gastroenterology. They are often used as interchangeable terms, a conceptual mistake that continues to drive diagnostic errors and ineffective treatment. According to Rome IV, bloating and distension may represent either a primary disorder of gut–brain interaction (DGBI) or occur as symptoms with other DGBIs, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia (FD) or functional constipation (FC).

Abstract

Ostomy management refers to the care and maintenance of an ostomy and involves various aspects to ensure the individual’s health, comfort, and quality of life. This should involve the patient, a close support system (family and/or friends), and a healthcare team, including ostomy nurses and healthcare professionals specialising in ostomy care.

Abstract

Chronic gastritis is a common condition that occurs when an inflammatory infiltrate is present in the gastric mucosa. Diverse factors can cause such inflammation to develop, including food, common bacteria (particularly Helicobacter pylori) and even some viruses. Although the inflammatory infiltrate itself may not cause a disease per se, in some cases gastritis will evolve into atrophic gastritis, ulcers or gastric cancer. Clinicians therefore need to be aware of when gastritis is a harmless condition that can be left alone and when further action is required. In addition, many patients and some clinicians use the term ‘chronic gastritis’ to describe symptoms, mostly those of dyspepsia. This misuse of the terminology can lead to the erroneous conclusion that a diagnosis is being discussed and not a symptom. Here we address these mistakes and some of the others that are frequently made when managing patients with chronic gastritis. We discuss how to avoid making the mistakes to ensure that patients are managed adequately while reducing over treatment.
