Outcomes of Patients with Severe Obesity and Cirrhosis with Portal Hypertension Undergoing Bariatric Surgery: a Systematic Review.

Purpose: Thus far, little attention has been paid to bariatric surgery (BS) in patients with severe obesity (SO) and cirrhosis with portal hypertension (PH). To address this knowledge gap, we systematically reviewed the available literature and evidence about BS in patients with SO and cirrhosis with PH. We inform on the perioperative and long-term outcomes of this intervention.
