Abstract

Bariatric surgery confers potential advantages for obese patients, but also risks for pregnancy. Perinatal outcomes may be varying between surgical procedures. This topic was recently addressed by a systematic review in BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth. This commentary will discuss the scientific background and implications for future research.
