Core Tip	Perioperative semaglutide treatment was associated with an increased risk of residual gastric content and digestive symptoms. Evidence regarding pulmonary aspiration, gastroparesis, and procedure discontinuation remains uncertain because the available data are observational and imprecise. Prospective studies using standardized fasting, perioperative, and outcome definitions are needed.
