This book describes the surgical bariatric procedures most
frequently performed worldwide and examines their evolution in
recent years both within Italy and internationally. For each
operation, indications, the surgical technique, potential
complications, and the outcomes with respect to weight and
obesity-associated comorbidities are presented. In view of the
significant failure rate revealed by studies on the long-term
results of bariatric surgery, the problem of weight regain and
revision surgery are also discussed in detail, covering the
different types of revision, conversion to other procedures, and
the main outcomes. In addition, individual chapters focus on
selected topics of importance. The role of bariatric surgery in the
cure of type 2 diabetes ("diabetes surgery") is discussed and the
debate over the significance of gastroesophageal reflux disease and
hiatal hernia for choice of procedure is summarized. Finally, the
most common endoluminal procedures, which have been gaining in
importance, are described and other bariatric operations, outlined.
