Session Title

Parenteral Nutrition During Post-Bariatric Pregnancy With Late Dumping Syndrome and Intra-Uterine Fetal Growth Restriction

About the Presentation

More women now enter pregnancy after bariatric surgery. While these pregnancies are generally safe, they can bring complex nutritional and gastrointestinal challenges for both mother and baby. Dr. Tan's session focuses on a pregnancy complicated by late dumping syndrome and intra-uterine fetal growth restriction, and on the role of parenteral nutrition when oral and enteral feeding cannot meet the demands of pregnancy.

Attendees can expect a case-based discussion on:

• Nutritional and physiological challenges of pregnancy after bariatric surgery
• Recognising and managing late dumping syndrome during pregnancy
• Considerations when fetal growth restriction emerges
• Decision-making behind initiating parenteral nutrition
• Multidisciplinary collaboration across gastroenterology, nutrition, obstetrics, and surgery
• Practical lessons for clinicians managing similar cases

About the Conference

The 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD & Hepatology Conference offers an exceptional platform to explore the latest clinical practices, research innovations, and emerging technologies in gastroenterology, inflammatory bowel disease, liver diseases, endoscopy, hepatology, and digestive health.

Participants will gain insights into real-world clinical applications, cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic advancements, and evolving strategies in patient-centered gastrointestinal and liver care. The conference also offers direct interaction with international experts, key opinion leaders, and industry pioneers through keynote lectures, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, poster presentations, and young researchers' forums.

More than 70 international and regional speakers will deliver lectures, share best practices, and discuss current challenges, innovations, and future trends.
