Abstract
Background: Bariatric complications may occur during pregnancy, potentially causing serious maternal and fetal problems. The aim of this study was to determine the current practice and preferences of bariatric surgeons regarding the pregnancy care of fertile women before and after bariatric surgery.
Methods: A 26-question anonymous online survey was designed and sent to all bariatric surgeons of the Dutch Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.
Results: At least one bariatric surgeon from each bariatric center (n = 18) completed the survey. In case of a future child, wish sleeve gastrectomy became more popular than Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. All surgeons provided preoperative education regarding bariatric complications during pregnancy. Nine centers without neonatal intensive care would not refer pregnant women with acute complications. Half of the centers had a standard operating procedure. Seven per 18 bariatric centers had seen at least one postbariatric pregnant patient with severe maternal morbidity. One case of perinatal mortality was reported.
Conclusion: There is an inconsistent and often below guideline standard daily practice regarding pregnancy before and after bariatric surgery. There is limited experience with pregnant women with acute bariatric complications. Referral to tertiary centers is inadequate. Better information provision for both professionals and patients regarding possible complications is needed.
