The previous version of the guideline did not include a literature review for obesity surgery due to limited resources, and it references an existing guideline for obesity surgery.
Clinicians should be aware of the referenced guidelines for obesity surgery when making treatment decisions.

Für das Kapitel „Adipositaschirurgie“ der Vorgängerversion der Leitlinie wurde wegen der begrenzten Resourcen auf eine Literaturrecherche verzichtet und stattdessen auf die „Leitlinie zur Adipositaschirurgie“ der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Allgemein- und Viszeralchirurgie (DGAV) aus dem Jahr 2018 verwiesen.
Why this rating
The guideline is based on established practices.
