Abstract

DIAZ RINCON, Camilo A. Laparoscopic gastric bypass. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2011, vol.26, n.4, pp.262-264. ISSN 0120-9957.

Obesity is considered to be the epidemic of the 21st century. Until now there are no known medical or pharmacological methods to manage obesity in ways that control it and significantly reduce the comorbidities associated with it. Bariatric surgery has become the best alternative for management of obesity. Management of patients undergoing bariatric surgery requires referral centers with multidisciplinary medical groups committed to choice and long term follow-up of these patients. Bariatric surgery continues to be the gold standard for surgical management of morbid obesity.

Keywords : Morbid obesity; gastric bypass; laproscopic surgery; metabolic syndrome; diabetes type 2.
