Abstract
The objective of this work was to review the entire literature on gastric and bariatric surgery in order to best define the surgical indications and the specifics of their management. A literature review from 1995 to August 2015 was conducted in Pubmed and Google Scholar, using French and English as publication languages. 21 studies were included (level 3 and 4) over 128 identified. In total, if the cirrhotic patients, candidates for gastric surgery, are appropriately selected, long-term survival seems relatively good. No risk factors for long-term survival have been reported. The literature data are insufficient to be able to make recommendations concerning bariatric surgery in the cirrhotic patient.
