Abstract
Millennium Research Group’s (MRG’s)
Global Surgeon Survey 2005: Bariatric Surgery Procedure and Product Trends
examines numerous factors affecting worldwide bariatric surgery procedures.
Specifically, patient and procedure volumes, types of bariatric procedures,
access to specialty equipment, and barriers to bariatric equipment purchases
are scrutinized in detail. To maximize the relevance of the data collected,
each participant’s responses are also segmented and
examined by four pivotal variables: geographic location, surgeon specialty,
and hospital.
