Revisional bariatric surgery: a review of workup and management of common complications after bariatric surgery

Abstract

With the rising prevalence of obesity, there has been a steady rise in the number of bariatric surgeries performed worldwide. As expected, there has also been an increase in the number of revisional surgeries performed to manage acute and chronic postoperative complications. This review will discuss the major complications that can arise from the most common bariatric surgeries, their diagnosis, medical management, and potential revisional surgical options.
