Session Outlines and Learning Objectives
About the session
Increasingly bariatric surgery is being performed in women of reproductive age, creating a new population of women and their offspring who may benefit from specialist clinical care.
Whilst some risks (associated with pregnancy complicated by obesity) are reduced after surgery other risks may emerge, including those related to nutritional inadequacy. Whist guidance for management of pregnancy does exist the evidence base is limited. This session will summarise what we know about the impact of surgery on fertility and pregnancy and optimal management of post-surgical pregnancies.
Watch this session to:
GAIN CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF:
- Population characteristics of those undergoing bariatric surgery
- Impact of surgery on implied and demonstrated fertility
- At risk nutrients in post-surgical pregnancy
BE AWARE OF:
- Limitations of the existing evidence base for management of post-surgical reproductive function
- Potential surgery-related risks for future pregnancies
BE ABLE TO:
- Describe current best practice for monitoring and managing pregnancy post-bariatric surgery
