Elias Chousleb et al. J Gastrointest Surg. 2017 Nov.

Abstract

Management of post-bariatric surgery emergencies is common practice in the USA and the world. Due to the popularity and widespread use of bariatric procedures to treat obesity and its comorbidities, emergency physicians and general surgeons will be challenged with the treatment of short- and long-term complications of bariatric procedures. In this article, we evaluate the most common long-term complications of the most commonly performed bariatric interventions.

Keywords: Bariatric surgery; Complications; Management.
