Abstract:
Obesity is a growing epidemic, and its burden on the health care system and its impact on mortality are well known. Bariatric surgery is increasingly used worldwide to treat morbid obesity, generally defined as body mass index > or = 40 kg/m2. Common bariatric surgical procedures are described and mortality analyses of two recent clinical studies are presented.
