Introduction:
Vitreoretinal Bariatric surgery has proven
to be a necessary adjunctive surgery to improve patient’s
eligibility for successful kidney transplantation by reducing
their BMI to within acceptable limits. In practice, however,
the path of a potential kidney patient is different than
a typical bariatric patient. Identification of potential
patients, pre-operative work up, post-operative follow up
and planning between multi-disciplinary teams including
bariatric, hospital, transplantation and nephrology, demands
strict communication and planning. Pre and post procedural
protocol must be outlined and managed to maintain a
safe and efficacious environment for bariatric/transplant
patients.
