Abstract:
Bariatric surgery has evolved and gained in popularity as it has been recognized as the most sustainable and effective treatment for obesity and related diseases. These related diseases are significant causes of obesity related morbidity and mortality. Most bariatric procedures incorporate some component of gastric restriction with or without intestinal bypass, but the full mechanism of these procedures has yet to be elucidated. The most popular surgical procedure remains the sleeve gastrectomy over the last 10 years, while gastric bypass is also still commonly performed. We have also seen growth in revisional bariatric surgery and novel surgical procedures.
