| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | This is a review of publications comparing the results of medical
and surgical treatment of morbid obesity. An overall conclusions is that the frequency of
cardiovascular complications or cancer is higher among patients receiving medical treatment.
Surgical treatment is associated with a better weight loss, reduction in complications and quality
of life. Mortality risk decreases significantly after surgical treatment, when compared with patients
receiving medical therapy. Therefore, management of morbid obesity should be carried out by
multidisciplinary teams with experience on gastrointestinal surgery. In this way the complications
and mortality of bariatric surgery would be minimized. | en_US |
