Abstract:
[Summary] Clinical studies have confirmed that metabolic surgery is an effective method for the treatment of diabetes ,which can significantly relieve symptoms of type 2 diabetes ,improve various complications and reduce cardiovascular events. Currently ,major limitations of this technique in clinical practice in China include the lack of understanding on surgical benefits ,difficulty in selection of surgery indications and division‐based treatment modalities. Thus ,we should explore a cooperation model of multi‐discipline teams ,understand the mechanisms of type 2 diabetes remission by metabolic surgery and develop physician internist leading standard post‐operation management. These strategies will greatly promote the development of metabolic surgery for type 2 diabetes in China.
