Abstract (English): Bariatric surgery (BS) has undergone progressive development in Chile since the 1980s, with sustained scientific output contributing to national and international knowledge. The objective of this review was to complement the analysis published in 2006, identifying and characterizing the publications of Chilean surgeons on BS performed in Chile between 1986 and 2025, describing their temporal distribution, publication journals, and centers of origin, as well as the main documented milestones. An exhaustive search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and SciELO. Full original articles published in indexed journals were included, with the participation of at least one Chilean surgeon and originating from national surgical centers. A total of 199 papers that met the inclusion criteria were identified, of which 36.2% were from national journals and 63.8% from international journals, mainly high-impact ones. Three university centers accounted for 88.4% of the scientific output. These studies mainly addressed gastric bypass and vertical gastrectomy, including metabolic outcomes, complications, technical innovations, and studies with long-term follow-up. This review highlights the significant and sustained contribution of Chilean surgery to the development of bariatric surgery, with an emphasis on clinical studies and long-term follow-up, and highlight the importance of strengthening scientific registration and dissemination at the national level.

Abstract (Spanish): La cirugía bariátrica (CB) ha experimentado un desarrollo progresivo en Chile desde la década de 1980, con una producción científica sostenida que ha contribuido al conocimiento nacional e internacional. El objetivo de esta revisión fue complementar el análisis publicado en 2006, identificando y caracterizando las publicaciones de cirujanos chilenos sobre CB realizadas en Chile entre 1986 y 2025, describiendo su distribución temporal, revistas de publicación y centros de origen, así como los principales hitos documentados. Se realizó una búsqueda exhaustiva en PubMed, Scopus y SciELO. Se incluyeron artículos originales completos publicados en revistas indexadas, con participación de al menos un cirujano chileno y originados en centros quirúrgicos nacionales. Se identificaron 199 publicaciones que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, de las cuales el 36,2% correspondieron a revistas nacionales y el 63,8% a revistas internacionales, principalmente de alto impacto. Tres centros universitarios concentraron el 88,4% de la producción científica. Las publicaciones abordaron fundamentalmente bypass gástrico y gastrectomía vertical, incluyendo resultados metabólicos, complicaciones, innovaciones técnicas y estudios con seguimiento prolongado. Esta revisión evidencia una contribución relevante y sostenida de la cirugía chilena al desarrollo de la CB, con énfasis en estudios clínicos y seguimiento a largo plazo, y resalta la importancia de la necesidad de fortalecer el registro y la difusión científica a nivel nacional.
