Meta-Analysis: Surgical Treatment of Obesity

Abstract: Surgery is more effective than nonsurgical treatment for weight loss and control of some comorbid conditions in patients with a BMI of 40 kg/m2 or greater. More data are needed to determine the efficacy of surgery relative to nonsurgical therapy for less severely obese people. Procedures differ in efficacy and incidence of complications.

“…A metanalysis involving 136 studies and 22,094 patients made by Buchwald et al (6) revealed an overall resolution of hypertension of 75.4%. In a review of 19 studies carried out by Maggard et al (19) resolution rates varying from 25% to 75% were observed. According to most studies, hypertension control appears to be so linked to improvement on insulin sensitivity and proinflammatory state as to proper weight loss (11,15,16,27) .…”
