Abstract

Background

Our objective is to review the history and development of different procedures of bariatric surgery, along with a summary of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures today and a look on the future trends in the field of bariatric surgery.

Methods

Review of the available English language literature concerning bariatric surgery.

Results

The literature review included articles that have information about the history of bariatric surgery, different techniques used for each procedure, and the outcome of each procedure.

Conclusions

Bariatric surgery is a dynamic field. Experts are continuously searching for an ideal, minimally invasive procedure that is both safe and effective.
