Postoperative nausea and vomiting in bariatric surgery in comparison to non-bariatric gastric surgery.

Conclusions: Morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery are at higher risk of suffering from PONV than non-morbidly obese patients. To reduce the PONV incidence in morbidly obese patients, further research, especially focusing on more efficient use of antiemetic drugs, seems to be necessary. PMID: 30766634 [PubMed]
