The course aims to provide students with the fundamental knowledge of general surgery relevant to dietetic practice. At the end of the course, students will be able to:

Understand the pathophysiological basis and surgical management of major diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, hepatopancreatobiliary system, endocrine organs, and abdominal wall.

Recognize the role of nutrition in the perioperative management of surgical patients.

Correlate surgical pathology with dietetic assessment and dietary interventions before and after surgery.

Communicate effectively with the surgical team, demonstrating interdisciplinary awareness.

Prerequisites
The course requires prior knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, and general pathology, which are considered essential for the effective study and understanding of surgical diseases. Recommended background includes basic biochemistry and nutrition.

Introduction to Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery

Epidemiology of obesity and indications for surgery

Role of the multidisciplinary team (surgeon, dietitian, psychologist, internist)

Surgical Techniques in Bariatric Surgery

Sleeve gastrectomy

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

One-anastomosis gastric bypass

Biliopancreatic diversion / duodenal switch

Revisional bariatric surgery

Physiological and Nutritional Implications

Anatomical and physiological changes after bariatric surgery

Impact on nutrient absorption and metabolism

Hormonal changes and metabolic effects

Perioperative Nutritional Management

Preoperative assessment: malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and preparation for surgery

Postoperative diet progression: liquid, pureed, soft, and solid diet phases

Long-term dietary guidelines and lifestyle modifications

Complications and Nutritional Consequences

Early surgical complications (leaks, bleeding, strictures) and their nutritional implications

Late complications: dumping syndrome, marginal ulcers, internal hernias

Micronutrient deficiencies (iron, vitamin B12, folate, calcium, vitamin D, trace elements)

Protein-energy malnutrition

Special Considerations

Nutritional management during pregnancy after bariatric surgery

Bariatric surgery in elderly patients

Long-term follow-up and role of dietitians in patient care

• For the first 5 hours block:- multidisciplinary treatment of malnutrition due to excess (obesity) and deficiency (anorexia) and related conditions; - surgical treatment of malnutrition due to excess. Bariatric surgery: malabsorption, hypovitaminosis, diabetes remission... dietary management of the post-bariatric patient; - pathophysiology of major endocrine diseases; endocrine-metabolic diseases requiring dietary treatment: foundations for developing dietary therapy.
  • Books: Teaching materials provided by the teacher and sections of the reference texts indicated during lessons.


• For the second 5-hour block:-     Ketogenic diet for obesity. Management of patients with dyslipidemia, diabetes, osteoporosis, hepatic steatosis, hypogonadism (abnormal adipose tissue distribution, e.g., gynoid pattern in males), PCOS, and thyroid disorders (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism).-       Assessment of dietary and nutritional risk and protective factors related to primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention in the field of endocrinology.
  • Books: Teaching materials provided by the teacher and sections of the reference texts indicated during lessons.
