International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders

[edit]

The International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) is an international federation of national associations of bariatric surgeons and integrated health professionals.[4] The IFSO was founded in 1995 at an international obesity surgery meeting in Stockholm, Sweden.[4]

Activities

[edit]

Since its founding the IFSO has hosted an annual World Congress as a forum for discussion on the surgical treatment of severely obese patients.[4] Additionally, every year the IFSO organizes a roundtable as part of World Obesity Day.[5]

The IFSO publishes guidelines and statements on severe obesity and its treatment.[4] For example, in 2022 the IFSO collaborated with the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) to update the indications for metabolic and bariatric surgery, replacing the previous guidelines established by the National Institutes of Health in 1991.[5]
