In Brazil, rising obesity rates have led to a growing recognition of bariatric surgery as a crucial solution to address obesity and its associated health challenges. This surgical intervention not only offers significant weight loss but also improves the quality of life and mitigates the risks of obesity-related health issues, such as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and arterial hypertension.

The landscape of bariatric surgery in Brazil is evolving, influenced by factors such as healthcare accessibility, advancements in surgical techniques, and shifting patterns in patient demographics. For instance, in July 2023, the data published by the Brazilian Society of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery (SBCBM) revealed a notable increase in bariatric surgeries performed by private health insurance plans, contrasting with a decline in surgeries conducted under the Unified Health System (SUS).

As per the above source, Brazil recorded 80,441 bariatric surgeries in 2023, with 7,570 performed by SUS, 3,830 by private health insurance, and a significant majority, 69,041, covered by other health plans. This shift indicates a growing reliance on private health insurance for bariatric procedures, driven by the lengthy approval processes and limited availability of surgeries under SUS. The overall volume of surgeries performed in 2023 reflects a modest increase of 7.6% from 2022, when 74,738 procedures were conducted, highlighting a gradual but steady growth trajectory in the market.

The rise in private health insurance surgeries can be attributed to several factors. Patients increasingly seek expedited access to surgical interventions due to the severe health risks associated with obesity. The market is also influenced by the increasing awareness and education about obesity-related health issues, encouraging more individuals to consider bariatric surgery as a viable option. Furthermore, the variety of surgical techniques available, such as the one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), single anastomosis duodeno-ileal with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S or OADS), and sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (SGTB), contribute to the growing appeal of bariatric surgery. In September 2023, a study published by Arquivos Brasileiros de Cirurgia Digestiva confirmed these techniques' effectiveness, showing satisfactory weight loss and resolution of comorbidities, thus bolstering confidence in surgical options.

Overall, the bariatric surgery market in Brazil is experiencing a transformative phase characterized by an increase in private health insurance-driven procedures and the adoption of innovative surgical techniques. The ongoing advancements in surgical techniques and increasing recognition of the benefits of bariatric surgery are anticipated to shape this market further, underscoring the necessity for continued investment in healthcare infrastructure and patient education.
