Abstract

Background: In 2023, 15,985 primary bariatric operations were performed in Australia, with sleeve gastrectomy (SG) accounting for 80% of cases. Bariatric surgery offers better long-term weight loss and comorbidity resolution compared with any other treatments, with low morbidity and mortality rates.

Objective: This paper evaluates the efficacy, indications, outcomes and long-term considerations of bariatric surgery. It compares the current surgical procedures, SG, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), along with alternative weight-loss treatments, focusing on the important aspects for an Australian general practitioner.

Discussion: Bariatric surgery remains the most effective treatment for people with obesity, initially achieving 30% total weight loss (TWL) with sustained long-term outcomes. Both SG and RYGB show similar TWL rates at five years (23.7% vs 27.2%). Complication rates are low (1.5-4.8%), and surgery significantly improves or resolves comorbidities, particularly diabetes. Endoscopic and pharmacological treatments are emerging alternatives but lack the long-term efficacy of surgery.

减肥手术。

背景：2023年，澳大利亚进行了15985例原发性减肥手术，其中袖胃切除术（SG）占80%。与任何其他治疗方法相比，减肥手术提供了更好的长期体重减轻和合并症解决方案，发病率和死亡率低。目的：评价减肥手术的疗效、适应证、预后及远期注意事项。它比较了目前的外科手术，SG， Roux-en-Y胃旁路术（RYGB）和单吻合术胃旁路术（OAGB），以及其他减肥治疗方法，重点关注澳大利亚全科医生的重要方面。讨论：减肥手术仍然是最有效的治疗肥胖的人，最初达到30%的总体重减轻（TWL）和持续的长期结果。SG和RYGB在5年的TWL率相似（23.7% vs 27.2%）。并发症发生率低（1.5-4.8%），手术可显著改善或解决合并症，特别是糖尿病。内窥镜和药物治疗是新兴的替代方法，但缺乏手术的长期疗效。
