摘要：

Varieties of gastric surgery have increasingly been used in the management of morbid obesity. Generally, however, research and commentary in this area have related to surgical technique, with weight loss or morbidity being regarded as the most important dependent measures, In the context of the publication of several papers relating to the effects of surgery in the long-term, we believe that it is timely for surgeons to examine their criteria for success. in this paper, we argue that weight loss is inadequate as a primary criterion for success in this context, and that the value of the intervention should be measured against a multidimensional concept of success.
