Core Tip

Core Tip: There are randomized trials that justify the inclusion of metabolic surgery into the treatment algorithm for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but remission rates of T2DM after metabolic surgery can display great variability. Here, we discuss the most commonly used surgical options, including vertical sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric banding, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, and clarify the unknown issues of metabolic surgery and remission criteria of T2DM.
