Summary
Global bariatric surgery increased in 2016, with sleeve gastrectomy (SG) as the most common primary procedure. Revisional surgeries accounted for 7.4% of all bariatric interventions worldwide.
Area of Science:
- Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery
- Global Health Trends
- Surgical Procedures
Background:
- The International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) is a global network of 62 national societies.
- Monitoring bariatric and metabolic procedures worldwide is crucial for understanding surgical trends.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the number and types of bariatric procedures performed globally in 2016.
- To analyze surgical trends in bariatric procedures from 2008 to 2016.
- To specifically examine the prevalence of revisional bariatric procedures.
Main Methods:
- A survey was distributed to all IFSO national societies via email in 2016.
- Societies reported the number and types of bariatric procedures performed within their countries.
- Trend analyses were conducted for the period 2008–2016.
Main Results:
- A total of 685,874 bariatric/metabolic procedures were performed in 2016.
- Primary procedures constituted 92.6% (634,897) and revisional procedures 7.4% (50,977).
- Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) was the most frequent primary surgical procedure (53.6%), followed by Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (30.1%).
Conclusions:
- The total number of bariatric/metabolic procedures, both surgical and endoluminal, increased in 2016.
- Revisional procedures comprised approximately 7% of all bariatric interventions.
- Sleeve gastrectomy continues to be the most performed surgical procedure globally.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

01:27Introduction to Surveying, Plane Surveying and Geodetic Surveys
1.1K
Surveying is the art and science of mapping the earth's surface. It involves measuring distances, angles in horizontal or vertical directions, and levels to understand the shape and size of land features. Surveying techniques are essential for various tasks, such as identifying the levels of a land area with reference to a specific point, and mapping undulations and water bodies.There are two main types of surveying: plane surveys and geodetic surveys. Plane surveys assume the earth is flat,...

01:19Errors and Mistakes in Surveying
716
Errors and mistakes in surveying refer to inaccuracies in measurements and data recording. The errors are deviations from the actual value caused by human sensory limitations, equipment flaws, or environmental effects. These errors are typically unintentional and can result from the inherent imperfections in the instruments used, atmospheric conditions, or the observer’s inability to perceive exact measurements. On the other hand, mistakes are caused by the surveyor's lack of...

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

01:07Data Collection by Survey
9.1K
The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...
