Perioperative optimization and profitability (POP) in a high-volume bariatric surgery center.

Background: Currently, bariatric surgery is the most effective long-term treatment of obesity. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are the primary types of bariatric surgery performed worldwide. To minimize the risks of surgical complications and optimize cost-effectiveness, it is essential to develop fast-track protocols and patient logistics.

Complications in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery in an ERABS-optimized, High-Volume, Single Center During 2020 and 2021.

Purpose: Complication rates after fast-track optimization in bariatric surgery are varying. The aim of this study was to identify short-term complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in an ERABS (enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery) optimized setup.

Materials And Methods: This study is an observational analysis of a consecutive cohort of 1600 patients undergoing SG at an ERABS-optimized, private hospital during 2020 and 2021.
