Abstract

This review will start with a brief pathophysiology of obesity and the requirement for bariatric surgery, and it continues with a preoperative assessment, which includes a surgical mortality risk assessment, respiratory and cardiovascular assessments, and a psychological assessment. In-hospital postoperative care will be discussed, including which patients need a surgical intensive care unit and the monitoring tools required. The need for postoperative medications, postoperative complications, strategies for management, and a follow-up plan are also reviewed. This manuscript is written in a narrative review form with a chance of bias as a possible limitation.

Keywords: bariatric surgery; digestive surgery; obesity; perioperative care; postoperative care.
