Outcome of Pregnancies after Biliopancreatic Diversion

Abstract: Major weight loss following BPD improves the reproductive function of severely obese women. BPD provides major beneficial effects for both mother and child, including normalization of gestational weight changes, reduction of fetal macrosomia, and normalization of the infant's birth-weight. Our results speak in favor of delaying pregnancy in obese women until after the substantial surgical weight loss has occurred.

“…Effects of weight loss on reproductive success for women have been studied and are overwhelmingly beneficial [34]. Weight loss brought about by bariatric surgery in morbidly obese women has been reported to improve ovulation and pregnancy rates [35,36]. The idea of advocating weight loss to women prior to conception or infertility treatment has been advocated by health care practitioners [37], and, in some countries, access to IVF for obese women is subject to governmental regulation based upon body size [38].…”

“…Uma das pacientes aqui relatadas teve a gestação não planejada, só descoberta no 3 o mês. Em nossa pequena série de casos, não foram evidenciadas complicações maternas nem fetais dignas de nota, corroborando achados de outros autores 5,6,11 . Dados da literatura apontam que, comparando-se gestações de pacientes obesas mórbi-das antes da gastroplastia e após a perda de peso induzida pela cirurgia, encontra-se redução significativa na necessidade de cesárea, incidência de macrossomia e diabete gestacional 5,12 .…”

“…Nosso estudo reforça resultados de outros autores demonstrando que, apesar de possível desnutrição materna induzida pela gastroplastia 5,7 , a cirurgia bariátrica aparentemente não compromete o desenvolvimento fetal intra-uterino nem o crescimento e desenvolvimento da criança no primeiro ano de vida. Entretanto, como todo estudo dessa natureza, nosso trabalho apresenta limitações relacionadas, principalmente, ao número de pacientes estudadas e à análise de apenas um tipo de técnica.…”

“…Both options carry potential risks to both the pregnant woman and the fetus. In a recent publication biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) is presented as having major beneficial effects for mother and child [9]. However, as the procedure relies on intestinal malabsorption, it inevitably leads to a serious risk of developing micronutrient and other nutritional and metabolic deficiencies.…”
