Tratamiento quirúrgico de la obesidad

Choose a preferred language

La cirugía para adelgazar (cirugía bariátrica) es la única opción que actualmente trata con eficacia la obesidad excesiva en las personas en las que han fracasado medidas más conservadoras como la dieta, el ejercicio y los medicamentos.

La cirugía bariátrica presenta diferentes enfoques, pero todos son malabsortivos, restrictivos o ambos. Los procedimientos malabsortivos cambian el funcionamiento del aparato digestivo. Los procedimientos restrictivos reducen drásticamente el tamaño del estómago para que de cabida a menos alimentos, sin embargo, las funciones digestivas permanecen intactas.
