Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

This study examined immediate postoperative complications in patients undergoing various bariatric surgeries, aiming to evaluate the safety and efficacy of these interventions. Conducted at specialized high-volume bariatric surgery centers in Tijuana, Mexico. Predominantly female patients with severe obesity underwent procedures like sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Immediate complications were rare, occurring in only 0.38% of patients, with bleeding being the most common issue. Surgical reintervention within 48 hours was required in 0.33% of cases. The study's low complication rate suggests that surgeon expertise is crucial in minimizing risks and improving postoperative outcomes in bariatric surgery.
