How are We Going to Restart Elective Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery after the Peak of Covid-19 Pandemic?
The pandemic pattern of COVID-19 in some countries appears to have started a deceleration stage. It is recommended to restart as soon as the situation is under control and some tools exist for interpreting the ICU capacity under conditions of health system stress. However, there are no clear guidelines or a strategy to restart Bariatric and Metabolic (B&M) surgery.
IFSO Recommendations for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan City and rapidly spread throughout China and around the world since December 2019. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic on 11th March 2020.
Patients with metabolic disorders like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity may face a greater risk of infection of COVID-19 and it can also greatly affect the development and prognosis of pneumonia.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) has issued recommendations to our global healthcare providers aimed at keeping all our patients and practice staff in an as safe an environment as possible.
The recommendations have been published on our official Journal: OBESITY SURGERY (April 2020).
