La obesidad es una enfermedad metabólica, crónica y multifactorial que requiere tratamiento escalonado y multidisciplinario. La cirugía bariátrica (CB) constituye una opción de tratamiento para pacientes con obesidad severa o enfermedades metabólicas asociadas. La tasa de complicaciones agudas poscirugía es baja debido a la incorporación de las técnicas miniinvasivas y al abordaje interdisciplinario.
