We speak of metabolic surgery, to the set of surgical techniques that, by altering the intestinal transit, aims to correct or improve certain diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia.

In 1995, an American surgeon named Pories, in his article: "Who would have thought?", an operation proves to be the most effective therapy for adult diabetes mellitus. He describes that the resolution of diabetes in morbidly obese people undergoing bariatric surgery occurs before the weight loss is significant.

From that moment on, there is an increase in medical and surgical research lines with the aim of clarifying the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in this process. Nowadays, bariatric surgery is also indicated in patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and a BMI < 35 kg/m2.
