Bariatric surgery, also known as Weight loss surgery, can be very important nowadays, especially for those who are obese and are looking forward to losing weight. According to the IFSO (International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders), in 2019, almost 21,000 bariatric procedures were performed in India.
There have been remarkable advances in bariatric, minimal access, and GI surgery, with robotics used most to avoid complications. To share knowledge on these, Dr. Randeep Wadhawan, Head of Department, GI, Minimal Access & Bariatric Surgery at Manipal Hospital, came to Vaidam’s office.
