Abstract

Obesity is a pandemic that continues to spread as the world continues to modernize. Medical therapy is frequently utilized to help obese patients with weight reduction but is often insufficient for achieving meaningful and sustainable results. Weight loss surgery, also referred to as bariatric surgery, has been an option for treatment since the 1950’s. Throughout its long history, it has evolved from an era of high morbidity and mortality to one of laudable safety despite the high-risk nature of the patients undergoing these major gastrointestinal procedures. This article includes a history review of the different types of surgical techniques, discusses the need for plastic surgery after bariatric interventions and introduces a clinical case from our practice, in which the two procedures were applied.
