[Metabolic surgery and remission of type 2 diabetes].
A new therapeutic field is developing from bariatric surgery. Gastrointestinal surgery does not only seem to be a very efficacious method for weight reduction but may also have the potential to reduce obesity-related metabolic disorders. Even if there is still a lack of prospective randomized trials evaluating the correct indications for metabolic surgery in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, there is the legitimate expectation that the surgical approach can be successful. This article provides an overview of the current state of bariatric surgery and gives a surgical perspective on the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
