Study population: Patients who underwent bariatric surgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (South Australia) between the years of 2008 and 2018.

Brief summary: This retrospective study will analyse the transition of an Australian hospital which significantly increased volume of bariatric operations after introduction of a clinical pathway, and to assess the outcomes. Barriers to introduction of the multidisciplinary pathway and the means to overcome these will also be analysed and discussed. The analysis will also determine if there are any other areas of bariatric surgery which can be further investigated to optimise current practice.
