Revisional operations among patients after surgical treatment of obesity: a multicenter Polish Revision Obesity Surgery Study (PROSS).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Revisional surgery is more technically challenging and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, the frequency of revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) is increasing. Therefore, investigating this group of patients appears to be currently valid.

Aim

The objective of this multicenter study was to collect, systematize and present the available data on RBS after surgical treatment of morbid obesity among Polish patients.

Material and methods

This multicenter study included a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database. Outcomes included an analysis of the indications for RBS, the type of surgery most frequently chosen as RBS and the course of the perioperative period of treatment among patients undergoing RBS.
