Abstract
Patients with massive weight loss after bariatric surgery may experience different rates of upper-extremity nerve compression when using GLP-1 receptor agonists.
- GLP-1 receptor agonists are associated with a potential reduction in the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Acute compressive neuropathies, referred to as 'slimmer's palsy', may occur after rapid weight loss.
- Upper-extremity nerve compression rates were evaluated in patients who underwent bariatric surgery.
- The study compares patients who received bariatric surgery alone with those who also used GLP-1 receptor agonists.
