Mayo Clinic Minute - Dual procedure combines liver transplant, bariatric surgery

Mayo Clinic surgeons have found that an innovative approach can help patients with obesity get lifesaving care. Obesity can be a barrier to liver transplant. In a recent study, Dr. Julie Heimbach, director of the Mayo Clinic Transplant Center in Rochester, Minnesota, found that combining gastric sleeve surgery with liver transplantation was effective in addressing both health issues. This dual procedure is especially helpful for patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. MASLD happens when fat builds up in the liver, often without symptoms. It's mostly caused by obesity — defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. In advanced stages, MASLD can lead to serious liver damage that requires a transplant.
