The Diabetes Surgery Summit is a series of international consensus conferences for the development of evidence-based guidelines on surgical treatment of type 2 diabetes (metabolic surgery).
The series has been co-directed since its inception by Professors Francesco Rubino (Italy), Philip Schauer (USA), David Cummings (USA), and Lee Kaplan (USA) and it has been organised in partnership with leading diabetes and surgical organisations since 2007. The DSS has played an instrumental role in the recognition of surgery as a standard treatment option for diabetes, contributing to the development of the emerging field of metabolic surgery. Guidelines developed through the DSS have been endorsed by professional organisations around the world and have influenced changes in healthcare policies and coverage of surgery globally.
