Objectives:

  1. Review ASMBS approved procedures/revisions
  2. Review safety and efficacy of common revisional procedures
  3. Resources and reimbursement issues

Description:

Decision-making in the area of bariatric revision surgery is complex! The answers are found in the details of individual case scenarios and therefore illustrative “real-life” cases make for the best learning opportunity for revision decisions.

Concise case presentations will be utilized to examine revision decisions after primary bariatric operations. Topics will include patient selection, indications for intervention, and both surgical and endoscopic strategy options. Real life cases will be used to illustrate decisions and as examples of potential outcome scenarios.

Do you have an interesting case? Registered attendees are invited to submit an interesting case. A select few will be presented during this session. Please contact Amie Buehler amie@asmbs.org for more information.
