Impacto a largo plazo de la cirugía bariátrica en la remisión de la diabetes tipo 2

Abstract

Background: Bariatric surgery has emerged as a promising strategy to address type 2 diabetes remission, offering a ray of hope for those facing this metabolic challenge. Objective: explore the long-term impact of bariatric surgery on type 2 diabetes remission. Methodology: Bibliometrics will be used as a methodological approach to evaluate and quantify scientific production related to the long-term impact of bariatric surgery on the remission of type 2 diabetes. The search for information will be carried out exhaustively in databases academic organizations in Spanish and English, such as PubMed, Scopus, and Scielo. The reference period will be limited to the last 6 years to guarantee the relevance of the selected studies. Results: Bariatric/metabolic surgery has demonstrated sustained improvement in long-term type 2 diabetes remission. Although remission rates decrease over time, surgery remains more effective than other medical interventions or lifestyle changes. Furthermore, the mechanisms underlying this improvement could include reduced need for medications and improvements in metabolic control. However, duration of diabetes and short-term weight changes are not consistent predictors of remission, while other factors such as type of bariatric procedure and duration of disease may play a crucial role in prognosis.
