Bariatric surgery.
Bariatric surgery is a growing segment of minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopic bariatric procedures are considered some of the most technically challenging surgeries, requiring advanced surgical skills. Successful care of the morbidly obese patient requires a multidisciplinary team approach. These unique requirements are difficult to meet during residency and surgeons interested in bariatric surgery should pursue fellowship training in bariatric surgery.
