   <abstract>
    Bariatric and metabolic surgeries have gained extensive popularity and trust due to their documented efficacy and safety in managing not only obesity but also associated comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslip- idemia, sleep apnea, and joint pain. Traditionally, bariatric surgeries have been categorized into hypoabsorptive, restrictive, or hybrid approaches. However, these classifications inadequately reflect the complex anatomical and physiological alterations associated with modern surgical methodologies. This paper explores the evolution of metabolic surgeries, emphasizing the integration of physiological concepts into classic procedures to provide more tailored and effective treatment options for obesity and its comorbidities. Finally, the proposal for a new classification based on current metabolic concepts will facilitate communication among patients, doctors, and healthcare professionals. Additionally, it will enable a more didactic and standardized approach to data collection for conducting studies and publications.

   <title>1. Introduction</title>
   <p>Bariatric and metabolic surgeries have gained widespread popularity and trust due to their documented efficacy and safety in managing not only obesity but also associated comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic associated steatosis, sleep apnea and others.</p>
   <p>Traditionally, bariatric surgeries (BS) have been categorized into three distinct types: hypoabsorptive, restrictive, or hybrid approaches <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-1">
     [1]
    </xref> <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-2">
     [2]
    </xref>. However, these conventional classifications do not adequately reflect the complex anatomical and physiological changes associated with modern surgical methodologies <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-1">
     [1]
    </xref>. Recent advances in physiological knowledge enable the development of bariatric procedures targeting neuroendocrine changes rather than focusing solely on restriction, malabsorption, and/or exclusions <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-3">
     [3]
    </xref> <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-4">
     [4]
    </xref>. The classic bariatric procedures currently in use were conceived before updated knowledge was available. Consequently, these procedures rely on mechanical restrictions, intestinal malabsorption, or a combination of both, which are clearly nonphysiological. The ideal metabolic procedure should avoid these elements, as well as the use of foreign bodies and gastrointestinal exclusions. The preservation of gastrointestinal functions should be sought, as much as possible, in metabolic surgery, in addition to maintaining gastrointestinal endoscopic access for proper evaluation and nutritional support, if necessary <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-3">
     [3]
    </xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-5">
     [5]
    </xref>.</p>
   <p>Proposing an ideal metabolic procedure that meets all the previously mentioned characteristics may not be entirely feasible and also depends on the patient’s features. However, it is possible to technically apply some of the new physiological concepts to offer the patient the best possible operation. Over the years, surgeons from various parts of the world have dedicated themselves to this goal by proposing physiological adaptations in classic bariatric procedures. The physiological understanding and metabolic concepts applied in both classic bariatric surgeries and new procedures have given rise to the conceptualization of metabolic surgeries <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-3">
     [3]
    </xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-6">
     [6]
    </xref>.</p>
   <p>The objective here is to propose a new classification of metabolic/bariatric operations, emphasizing the relationship between surgical anatomy and its influence on metabolic changes and improvements. Furthermore, this proposal aims to facilitate the understanding of surgical rationale, integrate and standardize procedures in a logical manner, and create surgical algorithms based on patient profiles to facilitate the choice of operation.</p>
   <p>In the following sections, we will discuss the concepts and classification of metabolic surgeries.</p>
  </sec><sec id="s2">
   <title>2. Metabolic Concepts</title>
   <p>Key physiological concepts integrated into classic bariatric procedures include gastrointestinal bipartitions, the creation of long common channels, the preservation of metabolically functional stomachs, the creation of wide anastomoses, and long bilopancreatic limbs. Although duodenal partial or total exclusions are anatomically undesirable, they can enhance metabolic outcomes.</p>
   <sec id="s2_1">
    <title>2.1. Transit Bipartition (TB)</title>
    <p>The concept of transit bipartition has been established for over 20 years. In its initial publication, transit bipartition was defined as: “TB creates a gastroileal anastomosis in the antrum, after a sleeve gastrectomy (SG); food partially passes through the duodenum, avoiding blind loops, minimizing malabsorption. The stomach keeps two outputs” <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-6">
      [6]
     </xref>.</p>
    <p>Thus, TB is a physiological and metabolic strategy adapted to classic bariatric procedures to enhance incretin stimulation without requiring gastrointestinal exclusions.</p>
    <p>TB preserves nutrient absorption across all intestinal segments-including the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum-and maintains gastroduodenal endoscopic access. The concept of TB can be applied in both, the gastric antrum and the duodenum <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-2">
      [2]
     </xref> <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-4">
      [4]
     </xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-6">
      [6]
     </xref>.</p>
    <p>TB can be subdivided in terms of its anatomical position, intestinal component, and transit reconstruction. According to its anatomical position, the concept of bipartition can shift to a unidirectional, preferential food flow, as described below:</p>
   </sec>
   <sec id="s2_2">
    <title>2.2. Long Common Channel (CC)</title>
    <p>Bile is present in the common channel. Both bile and digested nutrients serve as crucial stimuli for key intestinal hormones, such as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF-19). It is possible that, as an endocrine organ, the “Holoileum” (defined as the “ileum with all its elements”—bile and digested nutrients) functions optimally. We refer to this as the “Holoileum Hypothesis”. If this hypothesis holds true, extending the common channel (CC) may reduce malabsorption and, additionally, enhance the hormone-producing efficiency of the ileum <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-4">
      [4]
     </xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-7">
      [7]
     </xref>. However, irrespective of the Holoileum Hypothesis, a larger common channel, accommodating all digestive secretions and nutrients, is more physiological and facilitates improved nutritional absorption.</p>
   </sec>
   <sec id="s2_3">
    <title>2.3. Metabolically Functional Stomachs</title>
    <p>Metabolically functional stomachs are created through the formation of long gastric pouches through vertical gastrectomies <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-3">
      [3]
     </xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-5">

      [8]
     </xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-11">
      [11]
     </xref>. These surgically designed stomachs aim to optimize the metabolic and hormonal functions of the gastrointestinal tract. Consequently, alterations in stomach structure, along with hormonal regulation, effectively control appetite and food intake, thereby facilitating weight loss and metabolic regulation.</p>
   </sec>
   <sec id="s2_4">
    <title>2.4. Wide Anastomoses</title>
    <p>The purpose of wide anastomoses is to ensure functional restriction, mediated by the intestinal incretin response. This response is initially stimulated by gastric emptying, without the mechanical restriction caused by rings or narrow anastomoses <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-3">
      [3]
     </xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-6">

     </xref> <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-12">
      [12]
     </xref>.</p>
    <p>Based on the modern metabolic concepts discussed above, we propose a new classification for metabolic procedures aimed at adequately stratifying surgeries according to their anatomical and functional structures, as described below.</p>
   </sec>
   <sec id="s2_5">
    <title>2.5. Intestinal Exclusion</title>
    <p>Scientific evidence demonstrates the metabolic control achieved through various interventions on the gastrointestinal system. This control is attributed to the enhanced stimulation of intestinal hormones following metabolic surgery. The intestinal hormones (incretins) most significantly connected to the metabolic benefits of these surgeries are: GLP-1, GIP, PYY, oxyntomodulin, and FGF-19, although numerous other hormones are involved. In addition to their effects on appetite control in the hypothalamus and improvement of the metabolic profile, these hormones act on β-cells, promoting insulin secretion and reducing its peripheral resistance. Two hypotheses have been formulated to explain the changes in these hormones due to the operations: the proximal intestine hypothesis, which suggests that duodenal and proximal jejunal exclusion would prevent the secretion stimulus of an (as yet unidentified) anti-incretin factor that would increase peripheral insulin resistance and worsen the metabolic profile; and the distal intestine hypothesis, where intestinal bypass would facilitate the rapid passage of chyme to the distal intestine, inducing the early secretion of incretin hormones, and resulting in metabolic benefits for patients with obesity and related conditions, such as those with obesity and type 2 diabetes <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-13">

     </xref>.</p>
   </sec>
   <sec id="s2_6">
    <title>2.6. Long Biliopancreatic Limb</title>
    <p>Evidence indicates that the release of entero-hormones in response to a nutrient load in the distal small intestine plays a crucial role in the remission of metabolic diseases. Consequently, the increased length of the biliopancreatic limb may be significant in this process <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-15">
      [15]
     </xref>. Another important metabolic benefit of longer biliopancreatic limbs concerns the absorption of bile acids that occurs along the intestinal segments excluded from food transit, which stimulates the release of incretins and FGF-19. These concepts have prompted a global trend towards elongating BPLs in RYGB to achieve better metabolic and weight loss outcomes <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-16">

    <p>The metabolic concepts applied in LPGB and BAGUA/OAGB are:</p>
    <p>Specific Details</p>
    <p>The RYGB is a globally renowned metabolic procedure, celebrated for its safety and effectiveness in controlling obesity and its related comorbidities. In recent years, it has integrated modern metabolic concepts, further optimizing its outcomes. For instance, it has moved away from using mechanical restriction methods such as rings or calibrated anastomoses, instead enhancing incretin stimulation through longer biliopancreatic limbs <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-23">
      [23]
     </xref> <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-24">
      [24]
     </xref>.</p>
    <p>In the LPGB procedure, gastrointestinal transit reconstruction is performed using a Roux-en-Y configuration, implementing a much longer tubular gastric pouch, aiming to preserving gastric digestion functions. In BAGUA/OAGB, reconstruction is achieved through a single gastrointestinal anastomosis, where alimentary limb doesn’t exist, increasing common channel length, which carries metabolic benefits.</p>

   <sec id="s3_2">
    <title>3.2. Metabolic Surgery with Intestinal Exclusion (IE)</title>
    <p>Metabolic surgery with intestinal exclusion is represented by the Classical Duodenal Switch (DS) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">
      Figure 4
     </xref>) and its adaptations. These variations incorporate physiological and metabolic concepts into the traditional DS, and these are further exemplified by the SADIS (Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy) and Ileal Interposition in the Duodenum (IID) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">
      Figure 5
     </xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">
      Figure 6
     </xref>).</p>
    <p>The metabolic concepts applied in SADI-S and IID are:</p>
    <p>Specific Details</p>
    <p>Despite incorporating a hypoabsorptive intestinal component (with a short common channel), the Classical Duodenal Switch was the first procedure to include a metabolically functional stomach, represented by the sleeve gastrectomy. Moreover, it is a well-established procedure for the surgical treatment of obesity and its comorbidities <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-25">
      [25]
     </xref> <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-26">
      [26]
     </xref>.</p>
    <p>In SADI-S, unlike the classic DS, the reconstruction of intestinal transit is performed by a single duodenoilelostomy, typically 250 to 300 cm from the ileocecal valve, increasing the common channel, which considerably improves the absorptive component and metabolic ileal stimuli of this procedure. It is notable for its effective results in weight loss and metabolic control. This procedure can also be performed with more proximal intestinal segment (in the jejunal portion), as described by some authors <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-27">
      [27]
     </xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-34">
      [34]
     </xref>.</p>
    <p>In the IID procedure, a 170 cm of distal ileum is interposed between the first portion of the duodenum and the jejunum, approximately 30 to 40 cm distal to the Treitz angle. This strategy significantly increases incretin stimuli and reduces exclusions, optimizing nutrient absorption and metabolic improvement <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-34">

    <title>3.3. Metabolic Surgery without Gastrointestinal Exclusion (WGIE)</title>
    <p>Metabolic surgeries without gastrointestinal exclusion are adaptations of the classic DS (<xref ref-type="table" rid="table1">
      Table 1
     </xref>). These techniques include Intestinal Transit Bipartition (ITB), Duodenal Transit Bipartition (DTB), Ileal Interposition in the Jejunum (JII), One Anastomosis Transit Bipartition/Single Anastomosis Stomach Ileal bypass (OATB/SASI), and Pylorus-Preserving Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (PP-RYGB). These procedures are designed to optimize metabolic control without the need for intestinal exclusion, thereby preserving the continuity of the gastrointestinal tract (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="figFigures 7-11">
      Figures 7-11
     </xref>).</p>
    <p>The metabolic concepts applied in ITB, DTB, and JII are:</p>
    <p>Specific Details</p>
    <p>ITB represents the original model of bipartition surgeries. Its metabolic structure is characterized by several components: performance of a SG, a pre-pyloric anastomosis in the antrum greater curvature and reconstruction of intestinal transit in a Roux-en-Y fashion. This is accomplished with an antrum-ileal anastomosis, approximately 300 cm from the ileocecal valve, with a common channel measuring 240 to 260 cm. Over the years, variants of ITB have emerged, such as the OATB/SASI, which differs from ITB by it’s one anastomosis fashion, adopting the same ileal measurements and anastomosis position, although, some authors adopted proximal intestine (jejunum) for nutritional safety <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-2">

    <p>DTB is a simplified duodenal switch, like SADI-S, but without intestinal exclusion. DTB implements the metabolic concept of transit bipartition within the duodenum. Its metabolic structure consists of an intact SG and a post-pyloric anastomosis, which can be either duodeno-ileal, approximately 250 to 300 cm from the ileocecal valve, or duodeno-jejunal, about 200 cm from the Treitz angle. Preferably, the reconstruction of intestinal transit is performed through a single anastomosis, although the Roux-en-Y configuration may be utilized in specific situations. Recently, a hybrid form of DTB was introduced, a concept that will be explored further. The duodenal anastomosis can be performed manually or with staplers; currently, the magnetic technique has gained significant prominence <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-4">

    <p>JII is not considered a transit bipartition but is classified as a metabolic surgery with no exclusions. Its metabolic structure is defined by an intact SG. The ileal segment is resected approximately 40 to 50 cm from the ileocecal valve and interposed into the jejunum, about 20 to 30 cm from the Treitz angle, without incorporating hypoabsorptive components. This configuration is designed to optimize metabolism without compromising nutrient absorption <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-34">

    <p>The Pylorus-Preserving RYGB incorporates the anatomical concept of Transit Bipartition, but in a different gastric position (anterior wall of the juxta-pre-pyloric antrum), promoting a very preferential flow to the gastrointestinal anastomosis while anatomically preserving pylorus accessibility, but functionally excluding it. Therefore, this technique can only be accomplished using the jejunum and is not intended to bifurcate the food flow but to replicate RYGB results without anatomical exclusions. This technique involves a SG beginning 3 cm proximal to the pylorus. A large antrum-jejunal anastomosis is created on the anterior gastric wall, in close proximity to the pylorus, utilizing a Roux-en-Y configuration. The biliopancreatic limb, measured from the Treitz angle, constitutes 35% of the total intestinal limb length, while the alimentary limb measures 60 cm. All mesenteric spaces are carefully closed <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-53">

   <title>4. Discussion</title>
   <p>Classic bariatric surgeries have traditionally been classified into three categories: hypoabsorptive, restrictive, and mixed, based on the concepts of mechanical restriction and malabsorption. With the advancement of metabolic concepts, new perspectives have emerged for the surgical treatment of obesity, offering more physiological oriented procedures. Obesity is a chronic and complex disease, and each patient presents unique individual characteristics. Therefore, it is essential to possess a variety of surgical “tools” to effectively address the diverse needs of patients.</p>
   <p>The metabolic procedures discussed in this article represent adaptations of classic bariatric surgeries and have been practiced for several years both in Brazil and globally. Recently, in Brazil, a Multi-Society declaration recognized the low morbidity rates, satisfactory weight loss, and comorbidities control, associated with these procedures, which are derived from the classic surgeries mentioned in this article <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-67">
     [67]
    </xref>. These adaptations primarily aimed to integrate physiological metabolic and neuroendocrine aspects into traditional procedures by resizing the gastric “pouch” and enhancing intestinal absorption, while minimizing or eliminating gastrointestinal exclusion and avoiding restrictions. The integration of physiological principles should be prioritized in any treatment to maximize patient benefits.</p>
   <p>The classification of metabolic surgeries plays a vital role in standardizing the techniques, establishing physiological surgical rationals and optimizing the treatment of patients with obesity. This may contribute in several ways:</p>
   <p>In its original definition, bariatric surgery is a collective term for procedures designed to reduce excessive weight. Metabolic surgery encompasses a group of gastrointestinal procedures that enhance physiological responses, by addressing and ameliorating metabolic conditions and diminishing excess adiposity, as a consequence. Consequently, it is not appropriate to consider these groups of procedures as equivalent. Bariatric surgery has served the population for many decades; however, we believe that Metabolic Surgery is a more appropriate term for this new era, and thus, we propose adopting this terminology in this classification <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.140696-68">
     [68]
    </xref>.</p>
  </sec><sec id="s5">
   <title>5. Conclusions</title>
   <p>This article does not aim to provide technical details or make comparisons between the previously mentioned metabolic surgical procedures. Most of these procedures, along with their underlying concepts, have been practiced for decades and are well-documented in extensive scientific literature. The intention here is to clearly delineate their concepts and propose a more suitable and didactic classification, facilitating the comprehension of each surgery.</p>
   <p>We assert that the metabolic adaptations integrated into classic bariatric surgeries further underscore the significance of surgical treatment for metabolic disease and its comorbidities. This is primarily due to the incorporation of physiological concepts into their structures, thereby offering more options for bariatric-metabolic surgeons and better results for the patients.</p>
