Obesity and its association with long-term health problems constitutes one of the major challenges in medicine. Though diet regulation and exercise are the primary treatment strategies, surgery is the most reliable long-term solution. Although bariatric surgical complications continue to decline, prompt recognition is essential to optimize patient outcomes. Despite their relative rarity, it is important to recognize thoracic complications, as several of these can result in severe morbidity and mortality. This article describes common bariatric surgical procedures performed, their expected postoperative appearances, and intrathoracic complications.
肥胖及其与长期健康问题的关联是医学面临的主要挑战之一。尽管饮食调节和运动是主要的治疗策略，但手术是最可靠的长期解决方案。尽管减重手术的并发症持续下降，但及时识别对于优化患者结局至关重要。尽管它们相对少见，但识别胸部并发症很重要，因为其中一些并发症可能导致严重的发病率和死亡率。本文描述了常见的减重手术操作、预期的术后外观以及胸腔内并发症。
