Authors' recommendations:
Bariatric surgery in severely obese adolescents compared with non-surgical treatment results in substantial weight loss (GRADE+++0), and may improve health-related quality of life, insulin sensitivity and the metabolic syndrome (GRADE ++00). Short-term complications including additional surgery are common. Long-term morbidity is insufficiently studied. Deaths directly related to the surgical treatment are rare. Ethical considerations include the conflict in treating adolescents with a procedure that will affect them for the rest of their lives without knowledge of long-term effects and complications.
