Bariatric surgery is a treatment option for obese patients when weight-reduction strategies such as lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy fail. To date, bariatric surgery has resulted in sustained weight loss; the resolution of diabetes for some patients has also been observed. The objective of this study was to explore changes in-patient bariatric surgery delivery in Canada between 2004-2005 and 2008-2009.
当诸如生活方式改变和药物治疗等减重策略失败时,减肥手术是肥胖患者的一种治疗选择。迄今为止,减肥手术已实现持续减重;还观察到一些患者的糖尿病得到缓解。本研究的目的是探讨2004 - 2005年至2008 - 2009年期间加拿大住院减肥手术的变化情况。
