Report Description<br />

<strong>Bariatric</strong> <strong>Surgery</strong> is a surgical procedure performed on the stomach or intestines to treat<br />

patient with extreme obesity and help them lose weight. This is an elective procedure for<br />

patients who cannot lose weight by any other means and are prone to serious health<br />

problems related to obesity. These procedures can be invasive or minimally invasive and<br />

are performed through open and laparoscopic treatment.<br />

As per WHO, 39% of adult population (aged 18 years and above) were overweight in<br />

2014, and 13% were obese. Obesity has received considerable attention as a major<br />

health hazard as it leads to adverse metabolic effects such as High Blood Pressure,<br />

Diabetes, Coronary Heart Disease and Ischemic stroke.<br />

Body mass index (BMI) is a simple method of calculating weight-for-height that is<br />

commonly used to classify adults as underweight normal weight, overweight, and obese.<br />

As per WHO, any person with a BMI greater than or equal to 30 is obese.<br />

<strong>Bariatric</strong> <strong>Surgery</strong> procedures are widely accepted across the globe and due to a number<br />

of factors, such as increase in the prevalence of obesity, awareness among the obese<br />

patients, and increase in the number of surgeons trained in advance surgical techniques,<br />

this market is expected to grow at a higher rate during the forecast period.<br />
