The increasing prevalence of morbid obesity has led the World
Health Organization to coin the descriptive term "globesity" to
reflect the worldwide nature of the problem. Providing health care
to these patients, especially when surgery is required, can be
extremely challenging owing to the specific needs in respect of
logistics, facilities, and professional expertise. Appropriate care
has to date often been unachievable and unaffordable outside of
established bariatric centers, but such centers themselves usually
have insufficient capacity and resources to cope with the demand
among the general population. This book therefore provides a wealth
of guidance and helpful tips and tricks on how to deal with obese
patients within a general surgery setting. Importantly, it
highlights the need for global rethinking on public health as
regards resource allocation and patterns and standards of care,
with the ultimate goal of improving outcomes through greater
affordability.
