I just read a study that looks at how GLP-1 drugs interact with surgical procedures.

To sum it up: post-op infection risk appears lower, but these medications also introduce anesthesia-related risks because gastric emptying is slowed.

With data from over 2 million patients behind it, the study's results are definitely noteworthy.
