Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery

This track explores the metabolic effects of bariatric surgery on obesity-related comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and cardiovascular risk factors. Researchers investigate the mechanisms underlying weight loss, glycemic control, and metabolic improvement following bariatric procedures such as gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding, and evaluate long-term outcomes and complications associated with metabolic surgery.
