Diabetes Surgery

Diabetes is traditionally viewed as a chronic and relentless disease in which delay of end-organ complications is the major goal in treatment, bariatric surgery offers a novel endpoint: complete disease remission or major improvement.

Bariatric surgeries constitute a powerful option to ameliorate diabetes in patients affected by obesity severely. Bariatric surgery is an appropriate treatment for people with Type 2 Diabetes and obesity not achieving recommended treatment targets with other medical therapies and also very cost - effective.
