The 5th ADSS (Asian
Diabetes Surgery Summit) was held in Taipei on Saturday, October 25. The event was
organized by The Taiwan Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, the
Diabetes Association of the Republic of China, and Min-Sheng General Hospital. This year's event was presided by Professor LeeWei-Jei and featured a couple of eminent specialits from the USA who shared their experience with surgeons from Taiwan, Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore.
At the first ADSS in 2010 the participants launched an Asian initiative to
study the effects of metabolic surgery on diabetic patients. The participating
centers have since enrolled and followed about 2,000 metabolic patients from
six Asian countries and territories who underwent surgery, enabling them to
compile a valuable database to be used for research on the subject.
