Pediatric obesity surgery is a new field that is designed to treat severe child and adolescent obesity when lifestyle modification is inadequate. This session will discuss the indications for the procedure, the variety of surgical approaches, and evidence-based results. Learners will become familiar with the advantages, complications, and late-term health effects of bariatric surgery in pediatric patients, as well as ways to prepare children and families pre- and post-operatively.
Connect, collaborate, and contribute to driving excellence in obesity research, clinical practice, and public health approaches globally.
