Does gastric bypass improve outcomes in severely obese patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension?
Gastric bypass is considered a primary option for severely obese patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension due to its low morbidity and mortality.
Although several complications occurred following obesity surgery over the 11 years of this study, the current low morbidity and mortality with gastric bypass make this a primary option in the severely obese patient with IIH.
Sugerman et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
