Abstract

Background; Obesity is becoming more common among women of reproductive age all around the world. Currently, it is believed that bariatric surgery is the most efficient, long-term solution to this issue. Aim and objectives; to evaluate the effectiveness & results of bariatric surgery on females with 1ry or 2ry infertility following the procedure, Subjects and methods: 40 participants participated in this prospective, randomised, and double-blind trial presented by morbid obesity with subsequent obstacles on fertility & pregnancy. All patients were submitted to surgical treatment for obesity from November 2018 to November 2020 in the general surgery ward of Al-Azhar university hospitals. This study compared 3 different procedures of bariatric surgery in the form of Laparoscopic Sleeve gasterectomy, single anastomosis sleeve ileal by-pass (SASI) & Laparoscopic one anastomosis gastric by-pass (OAGB) surgery, Result; following surgery, there was a large difference in BMI between pregnant and non-pregnant patients and BMI changes > 5 kg/m2 (p < 0.001). However, When it came to surgery methods and BMI before surgery, there was insignificant different between pregnant and non-pregnant patients. Conclusion; Female obese patients' fertility gets better after they have bariatric surgery. But more research needs to be done on the direct effects of bariatric surgery on pregnancy for women.
