Abstract

The relevance of care in bariatric surgery must be judged in terms of the resulting benefit/risk balance. Laparoscopic approach has been proved to reduce postoperative mortality. Postoperative mortality is less than 0.1% in France. Depending on procedures, long-term percentage of weight loss is estimated around 15-30%. Long-term mortality and cardiovascular events are reduced compared to control patients. The over-risk of suicide should be known. Long-term follow-up after bariatric surgery is poor in France.
