Revision Surgery

SECOND BARIATRIC OPINION OR REVISION SURGERY

The revision surgery is one that is carried out with patients who have previously undergone a bariatric surgery and that either by gaining weight again, stopped loosing weigh or complication of the method that was used, a second or third intervention is required.

The revision surgery is an exclusive area of a bariatric surgery, since it is a reason of re-intervening a patient, after patient has been previously operated, due to the failure of the technique.

This setback can be due to several causes

Use of technique not appropriate for this patient.
