Cirugía bariátrica y el choque de dos pandemias.
Cirugía mayor metabólica y bariátrica Las sociedades y universidades de todo el mundo ahora piden la reanudación segura de la cirugía bariátrica y metabólica antes de que se declare el fin de la pandemia de COVID-19.
Cuanto antes se pueda realizar la cirugía bariátrica de forma segura, más rápido se pueden reducir o resolver la obesidad, la diabetes tipo 2 y otras enfermedades, ya que no solo son crónicas, sino que también son progresivas. La obesidad también está relacionada con más de 40 enfermedades que incluyen diabetes tipo 2, hipertensión, enfermedades cardíacas, accidentes cerebrovasculares, apnea del sueño, osteoartritis y al menos 13 tipos diferentes de cáncer.
Una declaración reciente de la ASMBS dice: “Antes de que comenzara el COVID-19, estaba claro que los pacientes con obesidad estaban 'más seguros mediante la cirugía'. En la era del COVID-19, 'más seguro mediante la cirugía' para los pacientes con obesidad puede resultar incluso más importante que antes ". La obesidad y el síndrome metabólico se han identificado como un factor de riesgo independiente de resultados adversos que incluyen la muerte entre los pacientes con COVID-19.
