ASMBS Position Statement on the Impact of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery on Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

The following position statement is issued by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery in response to inquiries made to the Society by patients, physicians, society members, hospitals, health insurance payors, the media, and others, regarding the impact of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, specifically for Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG). The general principles described here may also apply to other procedures; however, the paucity of procedure-specific literature limits the value of this statement beyond these procedures.
