This study investigates the association of bariatric surgery in reducing complications resulting from obesity. Obesity is a globally prevalent health condition, associated with several complications that negatively impact quality of life and increase the risk of chronic diseases. The systematic review of scientific literature identifies clinical studies and systematic reviews that explore the effects of bariatric surgery in reducing obesity-related complications. The compiled results consistently demonstrate the effectiveness of bariatric surgery in improving clinical outcomes, including reducing comorbidities associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and dyslipidemia. The analysis highlights the positive influence of bariatric surgery on sustained weight loss, providing metabolic and cardiovascular benefits. Furthermore, the favorable impacts on quality of life, psychosocial function and reduced risk of specific surgical complications are discussed.
