Hematological Complications After Bariatric Surgery

Hematological complications after bariatric surgery can present early on in the postoperative period most commonly as hemorrhage and venous-thrombo-embolism. Hemorrhage is a direct result from the procedure and its incidence has been going down as the procedures and surgical equipment become more efficient. Thrombosis is one of the most feared complications after surgery since it can be life-threatening. Surgery as well as obesity are risk factors for it.
