Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Obesity has emerged as one of the most critical global health challenges, significantly contributing to the rise in metabolic disorders and comorbid conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Bariatric and metabolic surgery has become a crucial intervention for effectively treating obesity and its related comorbidities, offering significant improvements in long-term health outcomes and quality of life. Additionally, new pharmacological treatments for obesity and technological advancements in the surgical field have recently emerged. This Special Issue aims to publish reviews and original research articles on the latest clinical advances in metabolic and bariatric surgery, focusing on how recent innovations in this field can optimize patient selection, safety, and outcomes.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
