Trends of bariatric surgery in France during the last 10 years: analysis of 267,466 procedures from 2005-2014.
Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases 2016 September
BACKGROUND: During the past decade, the field of bariatric surgery has changed dramatically.
OBJECTIVES: The study aims to summarize and perform a periodic assessment of the current trends in the use of bariatric surgery in France and review findings on the long-term progression of bariatric surgery. The data were extracted from the national registry Programme de Médicalisation des Systèmes d׳Information from 2005 to 2014.
SETTING: National health system and private practice in France.
METHODS: We identified all hospitalizations during which a bariatric procedure was performed for the treatment of morbid obesity from 2005 to 2014 in France. Data were reviewed for patient characteristics and the number and types of bariatric procedures. We also analyzed the setting and the characteristics of the centers and the difference of the activity between the public and private sector.
RESULTS: Between 2005 and 2014, the number of bariatric operations increased fourfold. Sleeve gastrectomy became the most performed bariatric intervention, representing 60.7% of bariatric activity in 2014. There was a concomitant steep increase in sleeve gastrectomy, with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass increasing slightly overall and a substantial decrease in adjustable gastric banding. In 2014, 481 centers performed bariatric surgery. Among them, one third performed<30 operations/yr. We observed an overall in-hospital mortality ranging from .038% to .05% during the last 3 years.
CONCLUSION: Bariatric surgery is increasing in France, with a fourfold augmentation of interventions in the last 10 years. The number of sleeve gastrectomies has increased considerably. This activity is performed in numerous centers, one third of them performing<30 interventions/yr.
