Giant in Metabolic Surgery Provides Insight into Biology of Metabolic Syndrome

The latest episode of The House of Surgery podcast features one of the fathers of metabolic surgery, Dr. Walter Pories. In his Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Lecture delivered at the Clinical Congress 2025, Dr. Pories discusses his research and insights into underlying molecular biology, with particular attention to fat storage, energy production, and lactic acid levels. He also focuses on how research into bariatric surgery has led to data-driven clarifications of the pathophysiology of obesity and related conditions.
