Access to Bariatric Surgery In Europe

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In recent years more and more collaboration between hospitals performing bariatric surgery occur and more exchange of knowledge on pre and postoperative care is shared. Different countries have many different protocols to select and guide patients through bariatric surgery, and even within countries differences exist. These are most commonly based on expert opinions and cultural influences. Although many outcomes of the different approaches are known, the pathways the patient has to take and the accessibility to bariatric surgery are unclear for each country as well as how the care for these patients is financially arranged. As a progressive research collaboration, we would like to gain more insight into these different approaches. With this study we would like to gain more insight into the accessibility and restrictions to accessibility to both bariatric surgery and body contouring surgery after massive weight loss that exists in all 51 European countries, as well as why this disparity exists.
