Novelties in bariatric surgery: review and technical aspects
Journal Title: Clinical and Experimental Pathology Research - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The global obesity rate has significantly increased over the past two decades representing a major public health challenge. This condition has significant physical, mental, and socioeconomic consequences for patients and health care systems. Bariatric surgery provides an effective therapeutic option for obese people who failed to lose weight through nonsurgical weight loss interventions and ameliorates up to 80% of the complications caused by obesity. Bariatric surgery is quickly advancing, and several techniques and endoscopic options are currently available. A multidisciplinary healthcare team should discuss the risks and benefits of each procedure with patients.
