Effects of incretin receptor drugs in patients after weight-loss surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Updated

Abstract

A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the use of incretin receptor agonists in patients after metabolic bariatric surgery.

  • Metabolic bariatric surgery is effective for weight loss, but some patients do not achieve optimal results.
  • Patients may experience insufficient weight loss or regain weight after initial loss following surgery.
  • Incretin receptor agonists, including liraglutide, semaglutide, and tirzepatide, could be a treatment option for these patients.
  • The review aims to consolidate the best available data on these pharmacotherapies in this population.
