The constant updating of the physician is decisive for decision making in surgical procedures in obese patients"

The new scenarios in surgery push us to propose new specialization programs that fit the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate the advances in the practice of Bariatric Surgery”

Obesity is currently considered a major public health problem in developed countries as a result of its increased prevalence and the associated increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Bariatric surgery is an effective therapeutic alternative in patients with morbid obesity refractory to medical treatment, not free of complications, and can be considered the treatment of choice for carefully selected morbidly obese patients.

Modern surgery implies a constant need for recycling, but the speed at which changes and advances in techniques and procedures occur, and the amount of scientific documentation, articles, etc., that are published every week on new treatments, make it almost impossible for a specialist to reconcile his updating with his daily clinical and surgical practice.

The purpose of this postgraduate certificate in Bariatric Surgery and the team of experts who have developed it, is to provide the surgeon the possibility of updating in the latest surgical techniques by putting the latest educational technology at the service of specialization, and allowing the exchange of knowledge and experiences, create protocols for action and disseminate the most important developments in this field of surgery.
