Impact of metabolic syndrome in surgical patients: should we bother?

Abstract: Clinicians inevitably encounter patients who meet the diagnostic criteria for the metabolic syndrome (MetS); these criteria include central obesity, hypertension, atherogenic dyslipidaemia, and hyperglycaemia. Regardless of the variations in its definition, MetS may be associated with adverse outcomes in patients undergoing both cardiac and non-cardiac surgery. There is a paucity of data concerning the anaesthetic management of patients with MetS, and only a few observational (mainly retrospective) studies hav… Show more

“…MetS has been associated with worse oncological outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP) for pCa, even though definitive evidence regarding this issue is still lacking and these results have been questioned by other works . MetS was associated to an increased complication rate after many different surgical procedures; a recent study however did not find an increased risk of complications for MetS patients undergoing RP . From a biological standpoint, the complex metabolic alterations present in MetS could worsen the functional outcomes after RP.…”

“…Although surgical complications are common in the daily practice of surgeons, they are considered serious issues related to surgery [1], which exacerbate the suffering of patients and lead to lengthy hospital stays and higher medical expenses. In recent years, the impact of metabolic syndrome on different surgical operations has gained significant attention [2][3][4][5][6][7].…”
