About
Fernando Bonanni is a leading bariatric surgeon whose research focuses on revisional bariatric surgery and the management of complex metabolic disease. He is best known for his pioneering work on converting failed Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedures to biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), a high-risk, high-reward intervention for patients with inadequate weight loss or complications. His 2017 case series on this conversion technique, cited 19 times, remains a key reference for surgeons tackling revisional cases. Bonanni has also made significant contributions to understanding venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk in laparoscopic and robotic BPD-DS, publishing a 10-year outcomes study in 2017 that has garnered 11 citations and helped shape perioperative prophylaxis protocols. His work is distinguished by its focus on long-term safety and efficacy in super-obese populations, where standard approaches often fail. Through meticulous outcomes reporting, Bonanni has advanced the evidence base for revisional bariatric surgery, offering hope to patients who have exhausted other options. His research continues to influence surgical decision-making and patient selection in high-stakes metabolic procedures.
