Since the first laparoscopic bariatric surgery in Korea introduced in January 2003, the number of metabolic and bariatric surgery has been steadily increasing. According to the report from National Health Insurance big data analysis, the prevalence of morbid and super obesity has greatly increased and metabolic and bariatric surgery also increased in the last 10 years. As the incidence of morbid obesity is more frequent in people of poor socioeconomic status, the need for a reimbursement by the government seemed to be necessary. Finally, the national health insurance system decided to financially cover metabolic and bariatric surgery from January 2019. In order to improve the safety and qualify of metabolic and bariatric surgery, the Korean Society for Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery (KSMBS) introduced surgeon's and institution's accreditation system. The authors intend to introduce comprehensive overview of accreditation system of bariatric surgery and discuss the contents of national health insurance for metabolic and bariatric surgery.
自2003年1月韩国首例腹腔镜减肥手术开展以来,代谢与减重手术的数量一直在稳步增长。根据国家健康保险大数据分析报告,病态肥胖和超级肥胖的患病率大幅上升,在过去10年中代谢与减重手术也有所增加。由于病态肥胖在社会经济地位较低的人群中更为常见,政府似乎有必要进行报销。最终,国家健康保险系统决定自2019年1月起为代谢与减重手术提供资金支持。为了提高代谢与减重手术的安全性和质量,韩国减重与代谢外科学会(KSMBS)引入了外科医生和机构认证系统。作者旨在介绍减重手术认证系统的全面概述,并讨论代谢与减重手术的国家健康保险内容。
