English
Authors' recommendations:
The results of the studies included in this review generally suggested that pregnancy after bariatric surgery, both restrictive and malabsorptive, was safe for mother and child. There were some positive effects observed on potential maternal and neonatal outcomes that could be attributed to decreased BMI. There was no evidence to indicate that there was an increased risk of congenital malformation for children born following bariatric surgery. The authors generally concluded that additional larger studies may be required before a definitive conclusion regarding safety can be made.
