Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Obesity is currently considered a global epidemic condition, and bariatric/metabolic surgery has emerged as an option for achieving significant and durable weight loss in the treatment of clinically severe obesity.
There is increasing demand for bariatric/metabolic surgery worldwide; in fact, thousands of bariatric procedures are currently being performed around the world with exponentially increasing trends and outcomes.
Over the years, much research has been performed in this field, generating a high degree of knowledge on the effect of bariatric procedures on obesity comorbidities and its effectiveness over the time. In addition, new procedures have been developed and have changed the face of modern bariatric surgery.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of recent advances in the field of bariatric surgery. Therefore, we encourage researchers in the field of bariatric surgery to submit an original article (no animal research) or review to this Special Issue (case reports and short reviews will not be accepted).
