  • Same-Day Discharge after Metabolic Bariatric Surgery: Methodological Heterogeneity, Discharge Success Rates and 30-Day Safety Outcomes - A Systematic Review. [Review]
    Obes Surg. 2026 Aug 10. [Online ahead of print]Hany M, Torensma B, … Berends FOS
  • CONCLUSIONS: For the first time, this systematic review quantifies severe methodological heterogeneity in same-day discharge research (95-100% unique criteria definitions), violating fundamental assumptions for meta-analysis. Individual studies are well-conducted, but pooled estimates remain invalid when studies measure different interventions in different populations. Importantly, stratified analysis revealed a hypothesis-generating safety signal: same-day discharge after RYGB may carry higher mortality risk than after sleeve gastrectomy, reinforcing the need for procedure-specific standardization. International consensus on standardized patient selection criteria, discharge criteria definitions, and outcome reporting-separately for sleeve gastrectomy and anastomotic procedures-is urgently needed before additional studies are conducted.
  • Menstrual and Reproductive Function Before and After Metabolic Bariatric Surgery. [Journal Article]
    Obes Surg. 2026 Aug 05. [Online ahead of print]Whyte M, Attersley-Smith S, … Shawe JOS
  • CONCLUSIONS: Metabolic bariatric surgery was associated with > 30 kg weight loss by 24 months, reduced FAI, and improvements in menstrual regularity, and ovarian morphology, suggesting potential improvement in fertility-related parameters. Given high pregnancy intention, findings support the need for integrated reproductive counselling and preconception care within bariatric pathways.
  • Clinical and Psychometric Predictors of a Positive Alcohol Use Disorder Screen after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Cross-Sectional Study. [Journal Article]
    Obes Surg. 2026 Jul 30. [Online ahead of print]Arruda SLM, de Negreiros Botan R, … de Sousa JBOS
  • CONCLUSIONS: After bariatric surgery, male sex and paternal alcohol use are strong, easily ascertained predictors of a positive alcohol screen in this cohort and can be translated into a simple, bedside risk-stratification approach (a candidate requiring external validation). GGT shows a weak, group-level association with alcohol use - specific within the hepatic-enzyme panel tested, yet within the reference range and uninformative at the individual level - so it may complement, but cannot replace, psychometric screening. These findings favor psychometric screening focused on identifiable risk strata, with routine GGT as at most a supportive signal.
