Morbid Obesity
Conditions
Brief summary
Although previous studies investigated weight loss and improvement in comorbidities after SASI bypass, patients included in these studies had a BMI less than 50 Kg/m2. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the outcome of SASI bypass in patients with super obesity to assess the success of this novel bariatric procedure in this challenging group of patients in regards weight loss and improvement in associated comorbid conditions at 12 months postoperatively.
