“…22 New weight loss procedures are being tested in LA. Brazil and Ecuador have tried the endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) and intragastric balloon (IGB), 23,24 magnetic-assisted procedures have been successfully tested in Venezuela, 25 and the success of roboticassisted procedures has been reported in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. [26][27][28] However, these techniques are currently not mainstream and should be regarded as investigational.…”

SummaryLatin America faces a significant public health challenge due to the high prevalence of obesity and its associated diseases. Metabolic and bariatric surgery is effective and safe to treat obesity when other treatments fail; however, its implementation in Latin America remains unsatisfactory. This review explores the current status, challenges, and innovations of metabolic and bariatric surgery in Latin America. We searched peer‐reviewed journals in English and Spanish for relevant articles published between 1998 and 2023. We found that more than 20% of the Latin American population is affected by obesity. Unfortunately, only a limited number of patients have access to metabolic and bariatric surgery due to high cost, limited availability, and shortage of specialists. The review found that ongoing clinical trials are being conducted in Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Venezuela, indicating some regional progress. However, published studies remain low in number compared with other regions. Furthermore, we summarized the clinical outcomes, risks, and perioperative assessments associated with metabolic and bariatric surgery. We discussed potential strategies to enhance the availability and affordability of this intervention. This review emphasizes the significance of metabolic and bariatric surgery in addressing the obesity pandemic, specifically for Latin America, and proposes directions for future research and innovation.

Rationale: Sleeve gastrectomy is the most frequent surgery performed worldwide in bariatric surgery. In recent years, there has been an increase in the tendency to perform this procedure using a single port; however, to date, there have been no reports of this magnet-assisted surgery. We developed a magnet-assisted sleeve gastrectomy technique to demonstrate the use of magnets in different steps of the surgery to perform this procedure. Patient Concerns: A 38-year-old woman with a body mass index of 36.2 kg/m2 attended the clinic with the desire to lose weight in order to improve her living conditions. Diagnosis: Based on her weight and height, the patient's body mass index was diagnosed as obese grade II. During the examination by the multidisciplinary team, the patient presented with a blood pressure of 133/86 mm Hg and was diagnosed with hypertension. Intervention: The sleeve gastrectomy technique was performed in a standard manner using a single port located in the umbilicus and a 5-mm port in the right upper quadrant. In addition, we used a magnet positioned on the outside of the patient's abdomen, and a grasper coupled to a magnet was positioned in different parts of the cavity to assist in different steps of the surgery. Outcomes: The surgery was successfully completed with no intraoperative complications with the use of magnetic devices. The patient was discharged 36 hours postoperatively with nutritional indications. At the month follow-up the patient lost 7 kg of initial weight. Lessons: The use of a novel magnetic device can achieve a greater degree of ease in the face of difficulties associated with single-port sleeve gastrectomy.
