Aim: To determine level of knowledge of medical students and recent graduates' physicians regarding the possibility of surgical treatment for obesity.
Background:Over the last few decades, the development of bariatric surgery has been observed. Which represents currently the only permanent and comprehensive method for the treatment of obese patients. However, knowledge about the possibility of surgical procedures among general practitioners is not sufficient. That might be due to lack of knowledge about bariatric surgery in university curriculum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
