title: [Treatment of morbid obesity by gastric bypass. Apropos of 1158 cases treated surgically].
abstract: After defining pathological obesity and describing the technical methods used for gastric bypass, a series of 1158 surgical cases is analysed. Discussion, supported by a review of the literature, involved post-operative mortality and morbidity, mid-term results and patient selection criteria. In the light of the results obtained, it would no longer appear justified to offer this type of surgical procedure.
