TI  - Inter-disciplinary European guidelines on surgery of severe obesity.
PG  - 569-77
AB  - 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, expertise and evidence 
      based data on morbid obesity treatment.
