✨ How Safe is the Current Practice of Bariatric Surgery?

Risk of dying from surgery: 0.0008, or 4 in 5000 operations, or 1 in 1250.

Of 230,576 operations performed in the 🇺🇸 accredited centers during 2022, 186 patients died.

But in long-term, surgery ⬇️ risk of dying by 50%.

In honor of the new residents joining the field… a list that still comes in handy. Eric Pauli
