Sponsor's own description
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the incidence, management, and outcomes of complications following bariatric surgery in patients in the United Kingdom. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the prevalence of unplanned interventions due to complications following bariatric surgery in the UK? * What are the current practices for managing these complications, and how do they impact patient outcomes? Participants will: Be identified from hospitals treating patients presenting with complications following bariatric surgery. Have their data collected regarding demographics, surgical history, complications, treatments, and outcomes. Researchers will compare different management strategies and their impact on patient outcomes, with the aim of identifying best practices to improve emergency bariatric care and factors leading to patients attending as an emergency.
