AI Article Synopsis
- - Acquired hypothalamic obesity (HO) results from damage to the hypothalamus, often due to craniopharyngiomas, and poses significant management challenges due to its impact on quality of life and resistance to typical treatments.
- - A systematic review analyzed the effectiveness of bariatric surgery over 12, 24, and 60 months for patients with HO compared to those with common obesity (CO), including data from four matched case-control studies.
- - Results showed that while bariatric surgery led to weight loss in HO patients (about 23% at 12 months), it was less effective than in CO patients, suggesting the need for more research on optimal treatments for acquired hypothalamic obesity.
Article Abstract
Acquired hypothalamic obesity (HO) is a rare type of obesity caused by acquired disease-related and/or treatment-related damage to the hypothalamus, most commonly craniopharyngiomas. Effective management of HO is critical due to its significant impact on quality of life and resistance to conventional treatments. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the 12-month, 24-month and 60-month outcomes of bariatric surgery for HO caused by CPs compared with patients with common obesity (CO). Relevant studies were identified in MEDLINE and EMBASE databases until May 2024. A total of four matched case-control studies were included. The results indicated that bariatric surgery significantly reduced weight in patients with HO (22.98 ± 14.22/21.47 ± 9.61/19.07 ± 16.12% total weight loss, 12/24/60 months after surgery), but the effect was significantly less than that in CO controls (-6.17/-6.41/-7.72% total weight loss 12/24/60 months after surgery). Bariatric surgery can significantly reduce body weight in craniopharyngiomas-related HO, but the effect is less than that in matched patients with common obesity. Further studies are necessary to determine the best surgical or multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of acquired HO.

Objectives: The objective of this web-based study is to analyze the attributes of bariatric surgery cases ensuing health implications. Additionally, the study seeks to delve into the factors influencing post-bariatric psychological evaluations and the impact of various bariatric surgeries on weight loss and psycho-social assessment scores for patients who had undergone bariatric surgeries within a specific bariatric surgery center in Egypt between January 2017 and January 2024.
Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study recruited 411 adults who had undergone different bariatric procedures by the same surgical team.

Obesity is a major public health issue worldwide. Despite various approaches to weight loss, the most effective technique for reducing obesity, as well as diabetes and associated diseases, is bariatric surgery. Increasingly, young women without children are undergoing bariatric surgery, vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) being the most common procedure nowadays.

Background: Obesity, characterized by excessive adipose tissue, is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and elevated inflammatory markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). This inflammation is linked to obesity-associated medical problems, including cardiovascular diseases. One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has emerged as an effective metabolic and bariatric surgical procedure to address severe obesity and its associated inflammatory state.
