\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la obesidad m\u00f3rbida?<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Tomando en cuenta el peso y la talla del paciente podemos calcular su \u00edndice de masa corporal (IMC). Cuando dicho \u00edndice es superior a 40 se considera Obesidad M\u00f3rbida. Se trata de una patolog\u00eda cr\u00f3nica que puede ser corregida mediante cirug\u00eda especializada.
Cuando no es posible el control de la obesidad mediante tratamientos conservadores (dietas, h\u00e1bitos de vida, etc), la mejor opci\u00f3n es la cirug\u00eda.
Con una operaci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica se solucionan o mejoran m\u00faltiples enfermedades que suelen estar asociadas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfQue pacientes son candidatos a intervenci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Pacientes con obesidad m\u00f3rbida (IMC igual o superior a 40). Cirug\u00eda bari\u00e1trica.
\u2022 Pacientes con IMC superior a 35 con patolog\u00edas asociadas susceptibles de mejora tras la cirug\u00eda: Diabetes tipo 2, Hipertensi\u00f3n
Arterial, Apnea del Sue\u00f1o. Cirug\u00eda Metab\u00f3lica.
\u2022 Pacientes con IMC superior a 30 con diabetes tipo 2 mal controlada con menos de 10 a\u00f1os de evoluci\u00f3n de su diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cirug\u00eda bari\u00e1trica<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La cirug\u00eda bari\u00e1trica (o cirug\u00eda de la obesidad) <\/strong>es la que se realiza para solucionar la obesidad m\u00f3rbida.
Se practica mediante laparoscopia. Las t\u00e9cnicas m\u00e1s utilizadas son el by-pass g\u00e1strico y la gastrectom\u00eda tubular (sleeve gastrectomy)
La Cirug\u00eda Bari\u00e1trica cura o mejora un gran n\u00famero de enfermedades con una sola intervenci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica:
-Obesidad
-Diabetes
-Hipertensi\u00f3n
-Hiperlipemia
-Apnea del sue\u00f1o
-Ateroesclerosis
-Altereciones osteo articulares<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cirug\u00eda metab\u00f3lica<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La cirug\u00eda del s\u00edndrome metab\u00f3lico <\/strong>trata al mismo tiempo la diabetes, la hipertensi\u00f3n y la hiperlipemia (colesterol, triglic\u00e9ridos, etc).
La intenci\u00f3n es mejorar a corto o medio plazo el control gluc\u00e9mico de los pacientes y de las comorbilidades asociadas.
Consiste en practicar una t\u00e9cnica similar a la que se realiza para la obesidad m\u00f3rbida <\/strong>en pacientes con obesidad entre 30 y 40 de IMC.
Se realiza preferentemente por v\u00eda laparosc\u00f3pica.
Se consiguen excelentes resultados en la diabetes tipo 2 (buenos resultados alrededor del 85% de los casos), en la hipertensi\u00f3n refractaria (alrededor del 70 %), en la hiperlipemia (sobre el 100 %) y mejor\u00eda en otras patolog\u00edas (vasculopat\u00edas, hiperuricemias, etc)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

El tratamiento global de la obesidad se encuadra dentro de un equipo multidisciplinar formado por los Servicios de Cirug\u00eda, Endocrinolog\u00eda, Digestivo, Psicolog\u00eda\/Psiquiatr\u00eda, Enfermer\u00eda, Nutrici\u00f3n y Fisioterapia.
