The postgraduate certificate was created to take the professional through the essential knowledge in each and every one of the areas that make up a high-level Bariatric Unit"

With the widespread use of bariatric surgery in hospitals, revision techniques account for about 10% of the total. Indications include not only insufficient weight loss or inadequate response of associated comorbidity, but also the presence of complications that have a significant impact on quality of life (digestive in particular) or metabolic-nutritional complications, including malnutrition itself. First of all, it is necessary to delve into the definition of success or failure in surgery, in addition to establishing the difference between true failure and the need for a second surgical intervention. 

Depending on the characteristics of each primary technique, certain considerations should be taken: whether the choice of technique was adapted to the personal characteristics of the patient, whether there are technical problems susceptible to surgical correction (recanalization of stapling lines, stoma stenosis, marginal ulcer and the like) or whether the question arises due to the existence of another abdominal surgical pathology, such as symptomatic de novo cholelithiasis, gastroesophageal reflux refractory to medical treatment or the need to correct an eventration. 

The preoperative evaluation should thoroughly review the problems to be corrected and the "patient factor" (inadequate results without apparent technical complications), as well as study what a surgical revision can contribute or hinder, without ruling out the possibility of advising against any type of revision.
