Late Complications of MGB: Prevention and Treatment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to illustrate late complications following MGB, to report their rate and to suggest their treatment. The experience of many authors has been therefore evaluated. Gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) and malnutrition problems are the most frequent complication following this surgical technique. Frequently, medical treatment reduces the need for reoperation due to these causes.
