  • Title: Jejunoileal bypass in the treatment of morbid obesity.
    Author: O'Leary JP.
    Journal: Int J Obes; 1978; 2(2):191-6. PubMed ID: 711363.
    Abstract:
    Dietary management of morbid obesity has been uniformally unsuccessful. although abdominal surgery is a drastic therapeutic modality, it may offer the only hope for many morbidly obese patients. In addition to producing weight loss in the vast majority of patients, metabolic complications of obesity have been markedly improved in the post-operative period. Metabolic complications of the procedure are many and varied, but in certain high risk patients the benefits may outweigh the risks.
