Abstract

Surgery for severe obesity started in the 1950s. The development of different operations, including variants of jejuno-ileal bypass, gastric bypass, gastric restrictive surgery and biliopancreatic diversion are discussed. Laparoscopic surgery, and novel approaches including endoscopic procedures and neuromodulation are also presented.
