Management of an Eroded Gastric Ring Following the Third Metabolic Bariatric Surgery: A Multimedia Article

Revisional surgery is an expanding subset of MBS, growing in necessity as primary surgeries increase.
A systematic review of primary MBS highlighted inconsistencies in reporting reasons for suboptimal clinical responses. Many studies on revisional operations lack standardized selection criteria. The most common definition of suboptimal clinical response was less than 50% excess weight loss (EWL) and/ or a body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg/m2 at 18 months post operation. Other indications for revisional surgery include dysphagia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
