Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The treatment of obesity is evolving rapidly and medical specialists have a lot of tools at their diposal to treat obesity. Nowadays, bariatric and metabolic surgery plays a pivotal role in treating patients with obesity and related comorbidities. New treatments have been developed in both surgical and medical fields, such as newer surgical techniques, anti-obesity medication and endoscopic procedures. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of the advances in the surgical and non-surgical treatment of obesity, with particular interest in the use of innovative surgical techniques and treatment concepts. Therefore, researchers in the field of obesity medicine are encouraged to submit their findings as original articles or reviews to this Special Issue.
