Bariatric surgery - a dermatologic perspective
Abstract:
Bariatric surgery has become a standard option in morbid obesity for patients not responding to conventional treatment. A major and stable weight loss can be achieved. Since obesity and weight loss may affect skin diseases, we performed this review to analyse the impact of bariatric surgery on a number of skin diseases. We categorized the skin diseases into three main groups: (i) diseases with a possible benefit from bariatric surgery, (ii) diseases that may develop after bariatric surgery and (iii) diseases that may persist. We hope that dermatologists will achieve an updated knowledge of benefits and possible hazards of this type of surgically induced weight loss.
