AbstractBariatric operations have been documented in clinical trials to promote remission or dramatic improvement of Type II Diabetes Mellitus and related comorbidities. Herein we review randomized trials and meta-analyses published during the last 20 years on the results of bariatric/metabolic surgery in obese patients with type 2 diabetes with the aim of highlighting the scientific evidence available. Several studies and RCTs in the last 20 years have showed outstanding results of bariatric/metabolic surgery on Type II diabetes and comorbidities in patients with either BMI > 35 kg/m2 or BMI < 35 kg/m2. They have established that bariatric procedures are superior to non-surgical interventions for inducing weight loss and amelioration of type 2 diabetes, even in patients with a BMI between 30 and 35 kg/m2. The physiopatologic changes that improve glucose homeostasis after bariatric surgery remain unclear but glycemic control is improved after sleeve gastrectomy, duodenal-jejunal bypass, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, gastric banding, One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass, and biliopancreatic diversion. Nevertheless, it is suggested that the various gastrointestinal procedures may have different effects and mechanisms of action. Metabolic surgery will help integrate knowledge and multidisciplinary expertise to provide a combination of conservative and surgical treatments for Type II diabetes. These treatments must be considered as complementary options and not alternative strategies, with the same goal of controlling diabetes and achieving cure.
