description | BACKGROUND: Obesity is a chronic disease which frequently begins in childhood and requires a life-long multidisciplinary approach. Metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) is a key component of the treatment of severe obesity in children, adolescents and adults. Children and adolescents who have class II obesity and a complication of obesity or have class III obesity should be considered for MBS, regardless of age, race, sex, or gender. Children and adolescents with cognitive disabilities, a history of mental illness, a treated eating disorder, immature bone growth, or low Tanner Stage should not be denied treatment. Early intervention can reduce the risk of persistent obesity, end organ damage, and sequelae from long-standing complications of obesity. METHODS: This roundtable discussion includes three pediatric obesity specialists with experience in the medical and surgical management of children and adolescents with obesity. Included are citations regarding metabolic-bariatric surgery in children and adolescents. RESULTS: MBS in pediatric patients is increasingly recognized as an essential part of managing the disease of obesity in combination with medication, nutrition, behavioral training, and physical activity. Vertical sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in patients meeting criteria for severe obesity should be considered, especially when children have complications such as poor quality of life, orthopedic disease, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea, or cardiovascular risk. Children and adolescents with autism, developmental delay, or syndromic obesity should be considered for MBS on a case-by-case basis. Early intervention may result in improved long-term outcomes, and referral for MBS should not be conditional based on stage of pubertal development (Tanner Staging), bone age, or prior weight loss attempts. CONCLUSIONS: Children and adolescents who suffer from severe obesity need the entire spectrum of treatment modalities available to achieve a healthy weight and control obesity-related complications. This treatment spectrum should include MBS. These children and adolescents should be cared for by a pediatric weight management team prepared to care for them until they transition to adult care. |
