Περίληψη:
In 2005, for the first time in European history, an extraordinary Expert
panel named ‘The BSCG’ (Bariatric Scientific Collaborative Group), was
appointed through joint effort of the major European Scientific
Societies which are active in the field of obesity management. Societies
that constituted this panel were: IFSO - International Federation for
the Surgery of Obesity, IFSO-EC International Federation for the Surgery
of Obesity - European Chapter, EASO - European Association for Study of
Obesity, ECOG - European Childhood Obesity Group, together with the IOTF
(International Obesity Task Force) which was represented during the
completion process by its representative. The BSCG was composed not only
of the top officers representing the respective Scientific Societies
(four acting presidents, two past presidents, one honorary president,
two executive directors), but was balanced with the presence of many
other key opinion leaders in the field of obesity. The BSCG composition
allowed the coverage of key disciplines in comprehensive obesity
management, as well as reflecting European geographical and ethnic
diversity. This joint BSCG expert panel convened several meetings which
were entirely focused on guidelines creation, during the past two years.
There was a specific effort to develop clinical guidelines, which will
reflect current knowledge, expertize and evidence based data on morbid
obesity treatment.
