Key result
Bariatric surgery is the main effective treatment for obesity, with the choice of surgical method guided by modern data and clinical experience.
Why the study?
The chronic progressive nature, heterogeneous etiology, and steady global increase in obesity make the selection of bariatric surgical interventions an urgent clinical issue.
This review discusses the principles for choosing bariatric surgical methods in patients with obesity.
Bariatric method selection should remain individualized pending stronger data; leaves open need for prospective comparative trials.
