Combining metabolic\u2010bariatric surgery (MBS) with liver transplantation (LT) appears as attractive strategy to treat both, the underlying liver disease and obesity. However, there is an ongoing debate on best timing and patient selection. This survey was designed to explore the current treatment practice for patients with NASH and obesity worldwide.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A web\u2010based survey was conducted in 2022 among bariatric and LT surgeons, and hepatologists from Europe, North and South America and Asia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The survey completion rate was 74% (145\/196). The average respondents were 41\u201350\u2009years (38%), male (82.1%) and had &gt;20\u2009years of clinical experience (42.1%). Centres with a high LT\u2010caseload for NASH were mainly located in the USA and United Kingdom. Almost 30% have already performed a combination of LT with MBS and 49% plan to do it. A majority of bariatric surgeons prefer MBS before LT (77.2%), whereas most of LT surgeons (52%) would perform MBS during LT. Most respondents (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009114; 80%) favour sleeve gastrectomy over other bariatric techniques. One third (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200942; 29.4%) has an established protocol regarding MBS for LT candidates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The most experienced centres doing LT for NASH are in the USA and United Kingdom with growing awareness worldwide. Overall, a combination of MBS and LT has already been performed by a third of respondents.
