Area of Science:

  • Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery
  • Obesity Medicine
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Clinically severe obesity presents complex health challenges.
  • Bariatric surgery is a key treatment modality for severe obesity.
  • Understanding the multifaceted outcomes of bariatric procedures is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on bariatric surgery for severe obesity.
