What is an Revisional Bariatric Surgical Procedure?
In revisional bariatric surgery, modification of an earlier operation may be required. Some common reasons for revisional bariatric surgery include unsatisfactory weight loss, nonhealing ulcers, moderate to severe reflux diseases after vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Revisional bariatric surgery is more complex and associated with a higher risk than the initial procedure but can be performed with low complications in experienced hands.
