Comment on: Postoperative care fragmentation in bariatric surgery and risk of mortality: a nationwide study

Metabolic surgery is one of the safest surgical specialties in contemporary medicine thanks to the tireless efforts of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP), a joint venture of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), and the ever-advancing skill and knowledge base of those who are privileged enough to practice this profound surgical specialty. Careful prioritization of focused quality efforts has driven many undesirable postoperative occurrences to levels that are very challenging to meaningfully study thanks to such low rates, which is a wonderful problem but a challenge nonetheless [1].
