Bariatric Surgery for Hypothalamic Obesity in Craniopharyngioma Patients: A Retrospective, Matched Case-Control Study

Selveta S. van Santen et al.

Summary: The study showed that obese patients with craniopharyngioma achieved a substantial mean weight loss of 22% at a 5-year follow-up after bariatric surgery, regardless of the type of surgery performed. The weight loss was lower compared to obese controls after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, but there were no major changes in hormonal replacement therapy post-surgery.
