Guidance is provided on the management of emergencies and potential complications, as well as on general postoperative management and long-term follow-up. The coverage also includes new frontiers of robotic and endoscopic surgery. While the focus is on surgical techniques, emphasis is placed on the need for a multidisciplinary approach, with explanation of the role of the multidisciplinary team and the bariatric center. In addition, important information is presented on the definition of morbid and severe obesity, incidence/prevalence, pathophysiology and obesity-related comorbidities. The authors are internationally acknowledged experts who present best practice know-how in the field and draw on the most recent research literature.

This book presents the surgical therapy of obesity and metabolic diseases in a practice-oriented and detailed way. The specific surgical procedures with their indications, performance and risks are described precisely in words and pictures. Special emphasis is placed on the choice of the appropriate surgical procedure for the individual patient.

This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Adipositas- und metabolische Chirurgie by Jürgen Ordemann & Ulf Elbelt, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2017. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Bariatric or weight loss surgery is the reduction of the size of the stomach with a gastric band or through removal of a portion of the stomach, or by resecting and re-routing the small intestine to a small stomach pouch. Metabolic surgery involves weight loss treatments and procedures to treat metabolic diseases, especially, Type 2 diabetes. This book is a guide to techniques in bariatric and metabolic surgery. Divided into three sections, the text begins with an explanation of the history of bariatric surgery. The following section presents 25 clinical cases detailing necessary operative procedures for different disorders, and the final section discusses surgical techniques including sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and stapling technology. Based on the authors’ own experiences, this quick reference guide is further enhanced by more than 200 surgical images, diagrams and tables. Key points Quick reference guide to procedures in bariatric and metabolic surgery Features 25 clinical cases for use of bariatric surgery Describes different surgical techniques Includes more than 200 surgical images, diagrams and tables

This book describes the surgical bariatric procedures most frequently performed worldwide and examines their evolution in recent years both within Italy and internationally. For each operation, indications, the surgical technique, potential complications, and the outcomes with respect to weight and obesity-associated comorbidities are presented. In view of the significant failure rate revealed by studies on the long-term results of bariatric surgery, the problem of weight regain and revision surgery are also discussed in detail, covering the different types of revision, conversion to other procedures, and the main outcomes. In addition, individual chapters focus on selected topics of importance. The role of bariatric surgery in the cure of type 2 diabetes (“diabetes surgery”) is discussed and the debate over the significance of gastroesophageal reflux disease and hiatal hernia for choice of procedure is summarized. Finally, the most common endoluminal procedures, which have been gaining in importance, are described and other bariatric operations, outlined.
