چکیده
Surgery is now recognized as the only effective treatment for the morbidly obese patient with long-term sustained weight loss and postoperative complete resolution or significant improvement in the obesity comorbidities. However, this highly demanding and challenging surgical therapy necessitates the appropriate training and experience on the part of the surgeon. It is vital that the surgeon, beyond the optimal theoretical knowledge, also has the necessary technical skills in open and/or laparoscopic surgery, performs meticulous preand postoperative care, and is committed to long-term patient follow-up. Moreover, institutional commitment to the excellent multidisciplinary care of the morbidly and super-obese patient, who have an exceptional surgical and anesthetic risk, is essential to ensure the safe and effective performance of bariatric surgery. The necessary ancillary services, including specialized nursing staff, dieticians, psychologists and exercise advisors, and a multidisciplinary bariatric medical team of surgeons, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, ICU specialists and psychiatrists, etc., may be extremely valuable. Modern medical and surgical facilities, such as operating room tables, instruments, furniture, and radiology equipment capable of handling morbidly obese patients, are of course essential resources for any institution that seeks to treat bariatric patients.
